Heretical thought: As tragicomical as this unholy union may look, the album could actually end up being... good?
'"Pumping Blood" opens with a drone that breaks into a crunching march, goes into speed-metal gear and breaks into free-fall sections – all over seven minutes. ... Another track, "Mistress Dread," features Reed singing across a relentless staccato riff played at manic velocity.'
uhhh... why is this supposed to be terrible? Is it because Metallica is supposed to be s00per heavy? Because if you think that you need to listen to some real metal, my friend.
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

Well at least we still have Apocalyptica playing Metallica--which is oddly ironic in this context.
I think Lars is trying to replace James. They need more therapy. Or lots of heroin. Lou will fit right in, methinks.

This collaboration actually sounds interesting.
I can't wait to hear Metallica play 'I Love You Suzanne'.
Shouldn't the project be called "Loulou"?
