MojoJan 10, 2012The shock in this collaboration is that it sounds savagely natural. [Dec. 2011, p.93]
-
Oct 31, 2011Much advance word of Lou Reed and Metallica's excursion has been one of bewilderment and dismissal. It may well be, though, that in the fullness of time this is an album that is given the praise it deserves.

Kerrang!Nov 17, 2011LuLu is an album that will require many plays before the music contained within beings to make sense. [29 Oct 2011, p.50]
-
Oct 31, 2011It's not a successful union: the songs are too close to aimless, unfinished jams, Reed sounds as if he's trying too hard to be controversial and at 95 minutes it's far too long.
-
Oct 31, 2011The whole thing comes off as either an expensive major label joke or nigh-impenetrable high art concept. Maybe both.
-
Nov 1, 2011An utter wreck that curiously, miraculously, might have been great.
-
Oct 26, 2011Not 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.
