Panned by critics, Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music was deemed unlistenable by human ears. Rolling Stone said it was ..like "the tubular groaning of a galactic refrigerator" and as displeasing to experience as "a night in a bus terminal". In the 1979 Rolling Stone Record Guide, critic Billy Altman said it was "a two-disc set consisting of nothing more than ear-wrecking electronic sludge, guaranteed to clear any room of humans in record time."
Flash to 2010 and countless bands have cited it as a direct influence on their music. Earth, Merzbow, Boris, and SunnO))) all leaders in the Drone Doom/Drone Metal genre, give praise to this release as the birth of their genre of music. Once again Lou Reed was (White) light years ahead of everyone else.
The show is one single file but since the music is played as one continuous piece it shouldn't bother anyone.
I got this from Hear Rock City...Thanks Guys!
