Oct 31, 201130The whole thing comes off as either an expensive major label joke or nigh-impenetrable high art concept. Maybe both.
-
Oct 28, 201130Lulu is essentially a piece of shock art that's littered with vulgarity both lyrical and musical.
-
Oct 26, 201130Any message contained within Lulu is lost in the whirl of discordant guitar work, Reed's mutterings and the complete sense of abject disappointment that surrounds the entire album.
-
Nov 1, 201125An utter wreck that curiously, miraculously, might have been great.
-
Oct 31, 201125LuLu is a work that invites derision, an album that wallows in a tarpit of ugliness.
-
Oct 28, 201125The bulk of Lulu sounds like your dad's drunk friend reciting his self-penned erotica over a melting ReLoad cassette.
-
Nov 7, 201120Lulu sinks to almost unimaginable lows.
-
Nov 2, 201120It turns out that "Brandenburg Gate" is one of the only songs with an actual melody. The rest of Lulu is full of recycled, repetitive riffs; endless drones; more sex and violence than a slasher movie.
-
Nov 1, 201120Lulu is a joyless mess, a grim, humorless record with no notion of when to say "when."
-
Nov 2, 201110The godfather of avant-rock and the popular metal band don't click on any level.
-
Nov 1, 201110Audacious to the extreme, but exhaustingly tedious as a result, its few interesting ideas are stretched out beyond the point of utility and pounded into submission.
-
Oct 31, 201110At no point does Lou Reed sound like he is singing with Metallica, and the same is true the other way around.
-
Oct 26, 20110Not only is Lulu the worst thing any of the players have been involved in, it's quite possibly a candidate for one of the worst albums ever made.
