Love both Berlin and Transformer. Berlin has some of his best songs:

Yeah, it's one of the most heartbreaking albums I've ever heard...

A couple of years back, my music magazine published a list of the 50 best albums in rock and pop history, according to musicians, producers, reviewers, etc.
Berlin took the 5th spot : )

I would probably give it a 4-4.5. I really do love Lou Reed, so imagine my disappointment when I heard this =[ Anyways, I don't know what happened in my last comment but for some reason my whole response didn't go through. I wanted to say that my favorite songs from Berlin are: "Caroline Says," (I and II) "Berlin," and "Sad Song".

This is hilarious, awful but hilarious.

See though, they don't even work in the context of the album.



How the hell do the lyrics not work in the context of the album? What is this album about, Gyro? I must have missed the memo. Apparently, Lou Reed and Metallica missed it as well. Seriously, explain this to me. Take any one of the lines you included in the review and explain to me what part of it didn't make sense or didn't fit with the rest of the song.



I would expect this bullshit from some of the idiots here, but not from you.



You may think that's extreme, but I fully stand by what I said. I've seen no less than 10 instances of this situation:



User A: Album Rating: 1 lol this sucks

User B: is it really that bad?

User A: yeah it's so funny

User B: ok I'm gonna listen

*10-15 (I'm being generous here) minutes later*

User B: Album Rating: 1 wow yeah this sucks

User C: Album Rating: 1 omg yeah its awful

User D: Album Rating: 1 hahah I cant even finish the third track

User A: lulz



Those users fulfill all three of the conditions I listed. Sure, not everyone who rated the album a 1 is like that. Most are just biased. Biased against anything post-(insert year) Metallica does, biased when before listening they think "omg James is a table let me see if I can hear any more funny lyrics," biased by rating this as a Metallica/metal album, etc. There are plenty of variations.



In your case, I'm not sure if you were biased. You may have heard the full album, but you weren't really listening and paying attention. If you were, there's no way you could say things like they lyrics are nonsensical and do not work or that the album as a whole unimaginative. If you don't think it sounds good, whatever. However, comments like those are ridiculous.



They aren't the worst things committed to record



When I see something given the lowest possible score an album can receive, I'm gonna assume the person rating it thinks it's among the worst things out there. Maybe my system of rating is just screwed up.

I can hardly see you up there, obscured by all those clouds.

Don't tell me what I was doing.

Okay, I'm going to make this very simple: I was speaking about two particular aspects you brought up. One which I dismissed as boring and the other that I said wasn't enough to save the song. An album doesn't need to be 100% pathetic through and through to be awarded a 1/5 rating, not in my world.

Also, when I point out that the lyrics are pathetic and nonsensical, it's because of garbage like this: "if I waggle my ass / like a dark prostitute" A 'dark' prostitute... wow.

Since I haven't heard the album, I can't exactly comment on this review's accuracy yet. However, it is, in my opinion, the best and most objectively written review out of the lot we've got so far. Take your pos Myrogania =)

Hey, can I find the album version without the vocals?
The music is actually pretty good...

Look at my latest list for a lulu track without Lou.

Pharoh, that's where I saw it. I even commented there.

I was wondering if I could find the entire album unLoulested! :D

Lol a 5.. seriously? Well there's no accounting for taste... I (like most of the rest of the world) think this is absolutely horrible. It sounds like some senile Grandpa ranting over a garage band.

Makes me wonder what the other one was

Tried to listen to this a few days ago and had to stop around the fourth track.

The fact that you survived for so long is a good thing.
