Album Rating: 5.0
as much as i love lou and i love metallica i never gave that a chance, perhaps since im here praising yeezus in a similar light im being a bit hypocritical and its time to give it a go
ive heard people praise it as such but i find it hard to believe, although i do acknowledge it could just be me being closed-minded (as i suggest a lot of people are with this album)

I warn you Lulu is way more of an endurance test than this album, in terms of length, repetition and wordiness

I never managed to make it through a single track, but thats mostly because it was released when I was mostly disinterested in a lot of music. I am interested if a lot of the negative reception in the beginning was based on the fact that it was a project with Metallica's name on it being made with an artist who hadn't had a "fanbase" for decades; or if it really is just a really bad album regardless of anything.
I'd have to give it a real go, too.

Lulu has some hard riffs... that drag out for like 15 minutes.
|
| |
It's a shame Lou's career just sort of fizzled out, he deserved a better send off.

It was metal machine music that killed his career, wasn't it?
|
| |
It didn't completely kill his career but he definitely lost a lot of fans and the damage was beyond repair.

I remember reading an article on Reed (might of been in relation to Lulu) about how he basically stopped giving a shit about a lot of things he did because he didn't have anyone left to dissapoint. It was a pretty depressing read and Id hate to imagined e died thinking his music would be left behindcompletely because of his output not being good enough for people.
|
| |
Yeah I remember him saying something about how he didn't have anything to lose at that point. I suppose he was right

This is actually really interesting musically, a shame the lyrics are so obnoxious and arrogant (More so than usual.) that they damage the overall album.

I think that the arrogance on this album is pretty endearing, since most of what he said is through some of the most absurd lines in a rap album. Life of Pablo, not so much.

Look where his arrogance got him, $53 million debt apparently

"sure I can enter the fashion industry and be a massive success!"

I'm pretty sure its a load of mental problems imploding all at once at this point. Yeezus gonna crucify himself if he keeps sliding like he is.

I feel like the more arrogant lyrics on here work miles better than the one's on TLOP for one big reason: delivery. On here Ye delivers these absurd lyrics so well that I can't help but get down with them. On TLOP, lines like the bleached asshole one are delivered so plainly and lifeless that it just comes off as awkward and dumb.

Some great stuff here, Send It Up, Blood On The Leaves.
Bound 2 is pretty bad though.

I think you accidentally put Send It Up and Bound 2 in the wrong places man ;]

Hells nah haha that siren thing in Send It Up drives me nuts in a good way.

Yeah, Pablo is just completely charmless and it doesn't help that nothing sounds coherent. The album opens with what is basically the opening for a To Pimp a Butterfly 2 and then immediately you get some amateur sounding trap hop production in the following track. It makes everything worse.
