Lou Reed & Metallica: The View (90-second Preview)

[codeman]

It's bad. It's 100% the mixer's fault. You need someone who thinks outside the box to make this work.

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

 

[Sloan]

yes a longer clip!

 

[crillemannen]

atleast the mix is a bit like the old 90's metallica...

 

[Jaymz]

This...is a joke?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Shit's been covered already, but god damn is his voice sounding flat.

 

[MindMunch]

I thought it would sound bad, but this is just... abominable.
Like I said when they´ve announced the album. Putting Lou Reed on the album is the ultimate anti-piracy system. No one is going to download this shit even if it´s for free.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

They cant be serious?

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

WHAT?

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Seriously. The first recording I ever owned was Black Album recorded on C cassette. I still listen to that album at least weekly. In fact, it's in my car player this very moment and I listened to it 20 minutes ago, and I enjoyed it just as much as I did when I was seven and heard it the first time.

If I had to name one musician, who I simply consider awesome as fuck no matter what he does or says, it would be James.

I even think St. Anger is pretty cool.

But this? What the fuck is this?

 

[kvoid]

I actually like this better than everything they've done since MoP. WWell, at least until James comes in and I remember who it is.

Then again I hate Metallica.

 

[drew_drummer]

Why are the vocals so loud??? It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't jump out the mix like that.

 

[TonyS.]

Häääääääääääääää?? What is this?

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

Why the fuck are Lou Reed's complete utter shity monotonic monologue SO MUCH louder than James' vocals... it's literally popping out of the mix, sounds like fucking karaoke, sounds like when you're listening to music and browsing the web and an ad starts to play with someone speaking.... wtf is this fucking bullshit? Not to mention Lars going out of time a couple of times or more as well lol....

 

[midget donkeys]

NATO should immediately bomb Metallica's rehearsal space. This is a crime against humanity.

 

[Mago]

Trolololololo....?
I thought Lou Reed was a SINGER ?
Didn't expect that

 

[pikachu69]

Well at least thats not Stock...

But I can tell you what it is Lars! It still starts with an S....


Look, I am (was) the biggest Metallica fan, have been sincce MOP, I even gave away 6 years of my life playing bass in a Metallica tribute band that was quite successful but what is this shit boys!
Its like they have become so big they just don't give a fuck about the people that have to listen to this. Its all good to have your side projects, sweet as, record all the shit you want but if I released every shit song I wrote/recorded I would have a hundred albums out too!
Think of your fans Metallica! Won't somebody think of the fans!

 

[C_F_H_13]

does anyone else feel that all the music is wierd and out of time? This is a joke right?

 

[Jackal_Strain]

James vocals actually sound pretty cool imo. The Lou Reed part is just utter shite...
I have no expectations for this album, so for once I might not get dissapointed when it's released.

It sounds like people jamming on their own in their bedrooms and an old man ranting to himself put together and printed as a stereo mixdown. I can't even begin to comprehend how horribly the drums and the riffing fail to work together.
