I have to say, it's impossible for me to even imagine the sound of what this coupling would produce.

I like both Lou Reed and Metallica, but the idea of them together is an appalling vista.

I don't know why - because I'm not a Metallica fan - but I think this holds promise. I could envision a scenario where Lou loosens up the band and they give him a different sort of sonic palette. Or it could be a train wreck.

Strangely, the song seems to highlight what a lousy singer Lou is technically. His own music seems more conducive to his "I can't sing so I kind of talk-sing out of key" thing. Overall, it's kind of underwhelming, and I think it'll probably alienate all but the most hardcore Metallica and Reed fans.

Has Lou released anything decent in the last 15 years or so? I think not.
