Metallica & Lou Reed - Reveal Album Cover Art
The musical collaboration between Lou Reed and Metallica, entitled Lulu, will be released on November 1 in North America via Warner Bros. Records and one day earlier (October 31) in the rest of the world through Universal Music.
The cover artwork Lulu can be seen below.
The CD was co-produced by Reed, Metallica, Hal Willner ? who has produced albums for Reed, Marianne Faithfull, and Laurie Anderson, among others ? and Greg Fidelman. Fidelman also mixed the record.
A total of 10 tracks will appear on the final record. Confirmed songtitles so far include: "Brandenburg Gate", "Frustration", "The View", "Cheat On Me", "Junior Dad", "Little Dog", "Mistress Dread" and "Pumping Blood".
The idea for these two giants of modern music to work together was born after the 25th anniversary Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame concerts in New York City in October 2009. Metallica played with Reed on The Velvet Underground classics "Sweet Jane" and "White Light/White Heat".

 i know these guys were highly emotional with the stuff they put on this album, but that cover art has to be a joke.

The cover is quite amazing, not so my expectations of the music behind it.

The hype about their collaboration was high enough and now we just had a glimpse of what might come into fruition. Can't judge any further unless we listen to the album first.

I wonder if title and cover have anything to do with the main character of Frank Wedekind's plays Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box. From the look of the cover it might very well resemble Lulu's fall at the end of the latter.

Written by corrupt on 04.09.2011 at 15:37 It sure does make a connection to the title AND probably to the cover. Read the previous news and interviews about the album, or just go to their official website.

I dont usually judge just by the band's name (in this case, project name), or the artwork cover... But this is some serious sick joke. Lol

Written by Irritable Ted on 04.09.2011 at 20:25 The Velvet UNDERground is not mainstream at all. Seriously. Besides, this is not a Metallica record. It was composed by Lou Reed and they will surely only contribute some heavyness and vocals.

Written by Huntteri on 05.09.2011 at 09:39 I don't think it's possible for me to be disappointed by it, seeing as I have no expectations for it at all. But I'm definitely intrigued to hear what it sounds like. I just hope that a proper new Metallica album hasn't been delayed too much by this...As for the cover, it is awful, but hopefully the music will be better.
