the music is way too predictable in a "metal" way and thats what you get from Metallica nowadays (mediocre neo-thrash but slowed down) same goes for most of Reed's material with whatever pretentious bullshit he's got going on... i' m sure they would've come up with something much more interesting if Metallica tried something this adventurous in their prime, say circa 1986, but this isn't... its 2011 and it seems both Metallica and Lou Reed are grasping at straws to make themselves "relevant" once again, sorry this is a failure, nice try (or is it?) maybe Reed should work with SUNN O))) and Metallica should work with Wolf Eyes (fat chance on the latter).
