"I have no real feelings in my soul/ Where most have passion I have a hole", state Reed's brilliantly uncompromising, harrowing, lyrics.

lollin

bob rock wrote that imo

"This," concludes Lou, "is the best thing I ever did. And I did it with the best group I could possibly find on the planet. By definition, everybody involved was honest. This has come into the world pure. We pushed as far as we possibly could within the realms of reality."

i love the world right now

this is gonna be so amazing

love when rock stars say things like that

realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality realms of reality

By definition, everybody involved was honest.

haha, wtf does this mean?

it's poetry

it's better that it's meaningless, frankly

"I wouldn't call it the heart of darkness", muses Reed. "I'd call it the heart of illumination."

"And when you stop thinking about it and listen to and experience the 90 minutes of music..."

yikes

metallica in super long album shocker

10 tracks/90 minutes of awesomeness, AOTY

otm

"It could be disturbing," suggests Rob Trujillo. "At the same time it could be beautiful. It's a marriage of attitudes."

Truly, the man is the lukewarm water.

album of the year

#1 Pazz & Jop
pitchfor will give it a 1.2

i'll burn that fuckin website to the ground

You find the best group on the planet to make a 10 track/90 minute album and pitchfork gives it a 1.2?

lol, st. anger was literally 75 minutes long

no doubt it would've been twice that length could a single cd hold that much music

i believe lou zoom technology allows lou reed to make a CD as long as he fucking needs it to be.

Well we already know that Pitchfork thought the greatest album of last decade, St. Anger, was only worth a 0.8 so I'm extrapolating the value added by Lou Reed.

hehehe

10.8 it is!

pitchfor will give it a 1.2

This is my favourite thread on ILX right now.

"I wouldn't call it the heart of darkness", muses Reed. "I'd call it the heart of anticipation."

I haven't heard a single note and I've already pitched a review to The Wire.

yesss

here's my review, to be published soon on pfork, 10.0
"This is the best thing Lou ever did. And he did it with the best group he could possibly find on the planet. By definition, everybody involved was honest. This has come into the world pure. They pushed as far as they possibly could within the realms of reality. It’s maybe the best thing done by anyone, ever. It could create another planetary system."

Pitchfork is going to look pretty foolish after giving the Kanye album a 10.0 and they have to invent a new rating for this album. I propose 10.o_0

:-D

"Lulu" - Lou Reed and Metallica:

8.9 - Best New Planetary System

lol

loulol

"This," concludes Lou, "is the best thing I ever did. And I did it with the best group I could possibly find on the planet. By definition, everybody involved was honest. This has come into the world pure. We pushed as far as we possibly could within the realms of reality."

The last time he started frothing like this, it was about Growing Up In Public. And St Anger would have hit 90 minutes if they hadn't cut the guitar solos out.

at 141 minutes, "Some Kind of Monster" is way too short.

Shoulda been an MTV series.

Throughout two years of filming, over 1,000 hours of video were recorded, documenting the band's recording process.

man i'm seriously praying to god that they are documenting these recording sessions

Yeah, but then they cut out the solo scenes.
