Our Review

This album is Mastered for iTunes. Lulu is a story of a young woman who's seen quite a bit. Originally conceived as a Berlin theater production by avant-garde director Robert Wilson, Lulu is an interesting collaboration between two iconoclasts, Lou Reed and Metallica. It’s more in line with a Lou Reed album; he narrates and sings most of the material here, with Metallica’s James Hetfield providing backing vocals and occasional lead-vocal relief. The collaboration's real benefit is that it gives Reed his best backing band in years. Metallica serve his material, putting seasoned chops into what was, for the band, a very quick recording process. “Iced Honey” is the album’s most accessible moment. “Cheat on Me”, “Dragon”, and “Junior Dad” all deserve their epic lengths. Deliberately squeamish moments are played up for maximum impact, but it’s the music's strategic ugliness in spots (“Little Dog” makes efficient use of Reed’s angry-old-man bitterness) that makes this an uncompromising triumph. Lulu is closer in spirit to Reed’s Velvet Underground days than anything Metallica has attempted.

Customer Reviews

Possibly the Worst Album of All-Time (1 star)
I'll keep it simple.....it's bad....really bad. It sounds like a random drunken old man wandered into a Metallica rehearsal and started rambling incoherently into the microphone. If you want to punish your ears give it a listen. Metallica must have made this album on a dare.

Coming from a fan of both Lou Reed and Metallica. (1 star)
Lou Reed is great. Metallica is great.
Coffee is great. 7-Up is great.
Pizza is great. Fudge is great.
Grape jelly is great. Chopped liver is great.
Marshmallows are great. Sirloin steak is great.

Mix 'em together? See Lulu.

(Actually, Junior Dad is a great song, but that's only because it sounds exactly like a Lou Reed song.)

There was no option for negative stars (1 star)
Pretty much the worst thing I have heard in a long, long time.

Biography

Genre: Rock
Years Active: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

The career of Lou Reed defies capsule summarization. Like David Bowie (whom Reed directly inspired in many ways), he has made over his image many times, mutating from theatrical glam rocker to scary-looking junkie to avant-garde noiseman to straight rock & roller to your average guy. A firmer grasp of rock's earthier qualities has ensured a more consistent career path than Bowie's, particularly in his latter years. Yet his catalog is extremely inconsistent, in both quality and stylistic orientation....
