As a statement it one of the greatest ever made in 'pop' history.
As an album it's complete unlistenable shite. [2]

This isn't even music tbh, it's a literal joke
|

As I understand it, the tales of Lou Reed doing this to just piss off his record deal or considering it a joke (say, the alleged quote "Anyone that gets to side four is dumber than I am.") are just false anecdotes passed around. Assuming he wasn't very, very, very dedicated to the joke or off his rocker by his last years, his enthusiasm in having Metal Machine Music remastered and performed live would imply he took it seriously. At least one interview I read about the day before yesterday also seems to reinforce the point.
So regardless of its merits, I think it's lazy to stamp this off (at least this easily) as either a joke or screw-you gesture.

The most iconic part of this album is the "my week beats your year" quote in the liner notes.

Oh jah!

That isn't a compliment.

I like random sound #391 the best.

I'm just imagining someone purchasing this album the day it came out and listening to it assuming the whole industrial noise-scape thing was just an intro and then patiently waiting for the album to kick in. Its really disappointing to think about.

The only possible way to sit through this in its entirety is if you are in the grips of a nervous breakdown. Even then it's still shit.

Do you sleep in a mental home off your face on meds?

I've tried to listen to this album on 3 separate occasions. My record is 11 minutes.
It's not that it was too harsh or too annoying. It's more along that lines of I feel like I'm wasting a part of my life whenever I turn it on. I mean who wants to listen to over an hour of just feedback?
Reed made the album as a fuck you to the record label he was on, so even he thought it was garbage. So my question is: If Loud Reed was attempting to make one the worst things ever, are you saying he failed by not 1ing it? If you've heard it in full: You should 1 it out of respect for Lou Reed : )
