brother i'm only on New Neptune right now, it's gonna be a while before i get to touch down on the other planets or kiss that glorious new sun

wtf is the deal with the mix?

this does need answering.

At least the song doesn't have all the clipping like Death Magnetic has. At least from what I can tell.

clip it on me, bob

ILX letting me down today

Just listened to this in the cold light of pretty buzzed.

Kind of great/everything I wanted.

you know. Despite all the table jokes, the horrible mix, the fact that it does sound like it belongs on the hobo with a shotgun OST with dialogue from the movie I get the impression that I'm going to come out (shudder) 'liking this'.

If Rick Rubin produced this, I'm guessing we would've heard. Too bad, because a Reed/Rubin photo would be nice.

Turns out Rubin's already working on their next record, per Metal Injection.

nobody does terrible like lou reed

Let me see: "Tear-uh-bull-bull-bull-bull"

Yep, no one else would sing it that way.

I am the terrible

Okay, I'm going to rank all the available Loutallica songs here:

The View >>>>>>>> Sweet Jane (live)

just got this update from FACEBOOK
"‎'The View' is Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World tonight on the BBC. He will be spinning it at 7:30 PM in the UK!"
do not know who the fuck Zane Lowe is! But he knows what's UP.

Enjoy some love:

Is Zane Lowe joking?

Alternately:

zane lowe c/d?!

pro:

his manner is kind of amusing/lovable. It's like every record played is something you NEED TO KNOW ABOUT, he's kind of like a bossy schoolteacher, he barks out his spiel in this weird stentorian manner. It makes me laugh, plus I like his bizarre enthusiasm. I'd probably really like his show, but for:

con:

the music he plays is utter shit. Except once in a while he plays a decent metal track.

So I guess dud, really. You?

so he's like a british matt pinfield?

I thought those pros/cons were about Lou Reed.

yeah works for both doesn't it

more fun stuff from facebook comments
"Not heard it yet i will be listening and even if i dont like it i will because its metallica the reason i exist BIRTH SKOOL METALLIC DEATH"

otm^

METALLIC DEATH

BIRTH SKOOL

^ my favorite Spurnal Tap single

guy is otm except that i got into Death before I got into Metallic(a).

I can't help but be reminded of all the pre-album anticipation many of us had years ago for the Neil Young/Pearl Jam album which everyone knew was going to be the shit

In 30 years, will music snobs pretend to like "Lulu" the way they pretend to like "Metal Machine Music?"

What's this "pretend to like Metal Machine" crap? I love Metal Machine; even used to fall asleep to it when I worked weird hours. It's white noise with style.

Maybe I'm not a music snob and thus escape your comment, but I think it's only snobs and weirdos that have even heard Metal Machine Music in the first place.

I'm comfortable with being a weirdo, by the way.

^^ Truth bomb, all the way.

metal machine music rules

i listen to "the view" every morning now

think this is a new life

metal machine music is awesome.

yeah, MMM is pretty listenable. first time i heard it, i thought i'd have to turn it off after a minute, but it can be kind of a relaxing record.

Metal Machine Music is indeed awesome.

I do not hear the Lungfish similarities by the way. I get the idea of the similarities: spoken-sung vocals, list-like lyrics (in the chorus especially), and a riffy, repetitive backing, but sonically and execution-wise it sounds nothing like Lungfish. It sounds like if someone asked me to make up a slow Metallica riff off the top of my head and tack on some Lou vocals with a time limit of 30 minutes for the whole exercise.

Yeah, good thing Ned gave us a month.

i've listened to the view at least 25 times

i'm going to listen to this everyday until the album comes out

I've listened to this 17 times, so I guess the joke's on me?

no, you are the tablet

^ real talk
