Wow. I think they deliberetly wanted to make this sound horrible. No way this a product of coincidence. And that's coming form someone who loves St. Anger.

What the hell was that?

I voted for St. Anger.

What did I just hear? Fantastic drumming by the way..

Hmm... why are they doing this?

This must be some sort of very early or very late April Fool's joke. This sample makes St. Anger and such seem like a masterpiece.

ZZzzzzZZZZzzzz... Oh shit, did I miss something? I must've fallen asleep.

Awesome, I can save money and buy one album less now.

What the hell was that!? Horrible...

Slightly off topic: according to official site, the last song, "Junior Dad", is 19 minutes long. Imagine that, folks, 19 minutes of Lou Reed vs. Metallica. Yay.
Two more songs btw are over 10 minutes long... Dear god.

I have a feeling i'm going to enjoy listening to this album

with albums I simply find plain boring (The Final Frontier, In Flames' A Sense of Purpose or Amon Amarth's latest), i can't even listen to it for the lulz and those are the truly horrid albums I cannot stand. On the other hand, stuff like St. Anger, Sonic Syndicate's latest and what i presume this album will sound like, i just find them hilariously bad and laugh all the way through.

Well... this is also a experience

Who expects more than this?!

They could probably picked a better sample than this...
I hope....

How much did Lars Ulrich pay you to say this?

Sounds like shit. I hope there's better than this on album. Vocals especially suck, couldn't care less about the instruments.

Generally a band in Metallica's position will do the "art" album and then the "safe" album... this is too bad to be either one. This sounds like the definition of collaborative discord. Actually about what we should have expected from two artists who have no business working together.

I wouldn't say I loved St. Anger, but compared to what I just heard, it's awesome stuff...

Lol, everyone is complaining about this sample.

It is an Amazon 30 second sample, it is well know it always gets the worst part of the song and out of context (I suppose it is randomly chosen)

In fact I really liked the rather complex time signature during Lou's speech (I really hope nobody actually thinks he is singing because he is not).

It is clear to me that many people WANT to hate this album no matter what they hear.

Absolute crap.

I don't want to hate this album, I want to love it, but I don't like Lou Reed, I think he sucks. This clown most certainly does not deserve to share a stage with Metallica, nor does he fit in with them...not even a little bit. Why the hell are they doing this anyway?

This is way beyond horrible, i sure hope the entire album isn't anything like this.

Well, they did this and they thought it was pretty cool. So they went for more.

This was fucking painful... Just when you think the speech was bad you realise that the drumming is fucking terrible beyond all description.

Sunn O))) aid it once and I will say it as well: I wish that Lars was killed in the accident instead of Burton.

Well, it IS a sample the published. It's nonsense to defend it based on the fact that it's just a sample - it sucks and that's it.
People don't want to hate this album, they've just heard this 30 seconds and rationally concluded it's a piece of crap.

PS - complex time signatures? That's just generic riffing + bad and boring drumming + as you said, speech, which gives an illusion of some non-existent complexity.
In the same way, I could just record myself reading the lyrics to Master of Puppets while playing the actual song on winamp, and then call it "a complex" because my speech rythmicaly doesn't follow the song (which is perfectly normal).

Just to contribute:



The full song title is "F.W.T.B.T. (I Dream of Lars Ulrich Being Thrown Through the Bus Window instead of My Master Mystikall Cliff Burton)".
Btw it's a cover of Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (FWTBT).
