I've only heard a couple of tracks, I'm going to listen to the whole thing in just a few minutes. But you know, I liked what I've heard so far. I expected a negative reception but not at this magnitude.

I'll probably listen to it eventually, mostly to bear witness to the horror.

Reed has always been rock's antihero, and Metallica went about setting themselves up as the Music Industry Incarnate. So this album can only be interpreted one of two ways: Reed selling out, or Metallica trying to establish credibility as a creative force by borrowing a credible artist. Either way, it's doomed.

I don't hate Metallica. I just find their popularity annoying because they've struck me as an ignorable band, right from the beginning. So many fans out there... and I'm like "meh... ".

I bet you it'll get a cult following.

From people with bad taste.

So I listened to the album, and I kind of liked it in a perverse way. Like a cult film. I can actually see myself going back to this album again before the year is up. 🫢

@40FW: It's funny you go back to This is Spinal Tap, because the album reminded me a lot of that movie and it's almost as if Metallica has become the living embodiment of Tap. Maybe that's why I enjoyed Lulu as much as I did.

The first line in your sig sums up the entire debacle, I think, better than any one of us can.

🤣 I kinda expected this.

I'm sad 🙁

But I expected it 😐

I haven`t actually listened to it, but it doesn`t seem that Rolling Stone despises it too much. They gave it a 3/5.

Mind you, SMiLE was an album I thought would a get a 5/5 review 😕 , but it only got a 4.5/5...Ah well. I wonder if P4k will review it.

SO much talent...SO wasted 😢

Well, I do remember a Rolling Stone article praising the album 😜

But really, it's currently the 96th worst album ever according to RYM. That means that it was even worse than St. Anger 😲

Now who said that? It seemed pretty obvious that this would be a failure, from the horrific live version of Sweet Jane to the 30 second sample of The View, and then the full 5 minutes of The View...
