'Metal Machine Music' by Lou Reed.

[Zero As A Limit]

Who here has heard this ? I think it's marvelous, it is quite hypnotic. Some people say that it's too long, but I don't think so, if you are on the internet, for example, whilst you listen to it, it won't seem like 75 mins. Your views ?

yeah, it's totally awesome. i've had the vinyl in my collection since i was 12 years old and i didn't even get the chance to listen to it until i was 18. it's been a favorite ever since.

I have it, but it's garbage. Even Lou Reed admitted that it's crap. I got it used for like $4. Any more than that and you got served.

i love lots of things that the creator's are not happy with.
it's my favorite lou reed record.

£14 quid. Bargain!

Berlin and Transformer are the best Lou Reed albums. Easily. MMM isn't even mediocre let alone his best. If it's your favourite, you have issues, but that's ok, but get Berlin for sure.

i've heard nearly every lou reed and have copies of all the ones i enjoy. transformer is my second favorite, actually. but no lou reed wanks my chain like MMM.

Already got 'Berlin' :) I also have 'Transformer', but I got the rereleased version with 2 acoustic guitar demos (one of 'Perfect Day' and the other 'Hangin' Round'. It also has the radio advert). I wouldn't say I have issues, I find very little as thrilling to the ear as noise.

lol he only released that one to force his label to drop him, score.

and that's just one of the things that makes it so marvelous!
