Description:
As fearless musical pioneers of different generations, the combination of Metallica and Lou Reed was always going to deliver something startlingly different and exciting, on visceral and cerebral levels. They've achieved that resonantly on "Lulu", a set of extended songs inspired by German expressionist Frank Wedekind's early 20th century plays Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box (much admired by Freud).
The king of New York avant-rock, Lou Reed made innovative, iconoclastic music with the profoundly influential The Velvet Underground before "Walk On The Wild Side" gave him 1972's most unlikely pop hit. He reacted to this development with admirable perversity, releasing a stream of diverse and challenging solo albums, from the macabre, monumental Berlin to the subtle, seductive Coney Island Baby, from the wallpaper-peeling Metal Machine Music to the punk pivot Street Hassle. More recent years have seen his always-present literary bent come increasingly to the fore on works like New York, Magic And Loss and The Raven.
Metallica, the world's best selling thrash-metal band (with well over 100 million albums sold), formed in California in 1981, and it would be no exaggeration to say they've since redefined what we call rock. Like Reed's, their lyrics have never been shy to discuss alienation, fear, death. Musically, they've expanded the boundaries of thrash and metal, using speed and volume not just to pound the listener but to enhance their song structures, take sound to new places.
"It's definitely not a Metallica album, or a Lou Reed album", offers Kirk Hammett (Guitar). "It's something else. It's a new animal, a hybrid. Nobody in our world, the heavy metal world, has ever done anything like this."
