For me the album was huge disappointment at least on Metallica's side. Maybe I hoped too much from it, being the ultimate rise of new Metallica I liked Lou Reed's work on it thought...

Have you ever heard of reading comprehension? That's an awesome thing.

Atrocious, perhaps your problem is that you're associating Velvet Underground with punk and trying to listen to them as a punk band. When I tried listening to them when I was in a punk mood, I got nothing out of them, but when I was in a 60s rock mood and listening to The Doors and Cream and THEN I turned on some Velvet Underground, my mind was blown. They were just so left field and original for their time. But they were not a punk rock band.

You have a valid point. If I was in a bar chillin out or baked at a buddy's house I most likely wouldn't think anything of it. But because I'm really listening to it and looking for something to like about it I'm only finding the things I don't like.

Just ain't been into music that slow in a long time.

I never understood the love for Lou Reed/Velvet Underground either. Hes very average to me. Never heard the Metallica collaboration, i'm sure its abysmal though.

I've never been a fan of Velvet Underground either, but gotta say the rear end of White Light Whight Heat is pretty mind blowing with its pre noise rock approach. As said, don't ever listen to VU thinking you're going to hear punk and just take them for the art rock band that they were. Most of the bands that were influential on 1970s punk at that time, with the exception of the Stooges didn't really portray a punk sound, just a warped psychedelic sound often referred to as acid rock (if you want to go exploring that genre, good luck as it covers a lot)

you guys aren't sane - there wouldn't have been much of an indie/alt scene or a sub-genre if there were no Velvet Underground
