Metallica announced yesterday that they just completed a full - length album...with Lou Reed.

Thoughts ?

QUICK! Somebody whine and complain about this!

Good for Lou, he undoubtedly earned himself quite a bit of money.

I sure hope he puts it towards the Metal Machine Trio.

Actually, it`s being talked about as Metallica being more of the backup to Reed; Reed is the songwriter.

Interesting career choice on both parts then, they're not exactly the first two that pops into mind when you're imagining collaborations.

What an odd pairing. When Metallica do "kooky" stuff, we all know the results can be quite disasterous. Supposedly, they recorded this entire album in about a month. Their past M.O. has been unable to even complete one drum track in a month. But then again, IMO, some of Metallica`s best recordings have always been someone else`s material. Will be interesting, at least, to see the results. It will either be a masterpiece or a total trainwreck.

I never would have imagined Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, either.
