Album Notes & Community Reviews

Infamously released either as a brilliant avant-garde experiment or a deeply hostile contractual obligation, Lou Reed's double album is an absolute landmark of industrial noise. 'Metal Machine Music' contains zero songs or vocals, consisting entirely of incredibly dense, wildly chaotic guitar feedback loops that generate a terrifyingly dissonant, violently avant-garde atmospheric drone.
