This youtube vid makes good fun of it, but at the same time gives a good impression what to expect from the double CD.

I got my copy last week, started listening to it in the car and after the first knee-jerk reaction of "turn that noise off" I found myself curiously drawn into it. It has grown on me and it is also the first Metallica album where I actually listen to the lyrics. Mind you, compared to Metal Machine Music and other stuff ole Lou has done in the past, this is still pop music. I can also not help myself thinking that his significant other's (Laurie Anderson) performance art has left a lasting imprint on him. Reminds me also of some of the more experimental David Bowie and Iggy Pop stuff, Reed has a similar approach to talking over the music (in reality, Reed influenced Bowie in that way, not the other way around). And you've got to grant it to Hetfield and his boys that after the public whipping they got with St. Anger they are still not afraid to take chances.

Metallica fans are supposedly aghast about this but then they always are whenever their beloved band tries something new. This is certainly braver than putting out "Ride the Lightning Reloaded Volume 10".
