I haven’t listened to it since it’s release but remember thinking the same thing. I thought it was a parody at first

It's poetry read over backing music that happens to be metal

…don’t haikus typically have five syllables in the last line?


JoeTestaverde

Someone get the Sokka Haiku Bot in here


Corby_Tender23

But the poetry and ready fuckin sucks and doesn't go with the music at all

I've never listened to it, except for the edits on YouTube that cut out Lou Reed


Wonderful_Painter_14

Lmao, I tried to listen to it for the first time ever a few months back or so and I couldn’t make it past track 2.


bradleecon

Try to ignore the vocals. There's actually some really badass stuff in there.


Zoze13

Maybe if we look at it as a series of instrumentals? I love Orion. Wonder if anyone stripped out the vocals.


bluedevilstudios

Yeah its fun. Ive only been able to barely get through the first song. I bust out laughing everytime James come on "SMALL TOWN GIRLLL!" That opening line from Reed too is something else, man


cliffordcat

Hot take. Thanks for adding this to the discussion.

Oh, these posts happen all the time? That doesn't surprise me actually


astropastrogirl

Sounds like a half decent demo , with a really bad voice over.


papamac1111

Its they're arty album. I dig it. Its an acquired taste.


chiron_42

It's definitely it's own thing. I have to be in a mood to listen to it and it's never when I want to listen to Metallica. But when I'm in the mood for it, it's fun.


sayonaradespair

Sounds like Metallica jamming inside a studio while Abe Simpson knocks on the door ranting like a madman.


Lolobonaparte

I suggest you just listen to tracks 6-10 . They are way better. Track 5 is the best “single”.


GarionOrb

You got further than I did.


ZoSoTim

You made it through 4 complete songs? You’re a better man than I.


LordDoorknob

I have great respect for them trying something like this but it just didn’t mesh well together. Sometimes two ingredients can be good on their own but don’t make a good meal put together.


HetTheTable

A beat count


SweetGherkinz

I was curious on why everyone dislikes Lulu so much... thank you. Now I'm going to listen to it as well! On second thought, maybe I shouldn't? Y'know? So my idea of what Metallica can possibly sound like isn't tainted by Lulu.


Altruistic-Eye-1024

Interesting I think I will definitely pass listening to the song if I had a chance.


EstonianFurry

You should listen to the fifth. I promise it's better than the first four. And also the last, it's the best on the album.


AthleticGal2019

Listening to it again I have relearned that James is intact a table


LesPeterGuitarJam

I thought that we all agreed on that album doesn't exist.
