[DanBlabbers]

Play all 4 at once, be efficient and enhance your experience!

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

I remember reading that parts three and four were just parts one and two played backwards - I always liked part III best.

maybe not many people knows it, but actually Lou Reed in person stated that this album was a joke, a bullshit. He was just sick of all the success he had and then made this shit. He'd laugh at you if you say that you listened through all the album and actually enjoyed it. Btw, i personally enjoy this noise sometimes, in small doses, and i'm happy that noise music exists also because of this.

[RaphaelShannon1]

beautiful noizen..somebodys seen the light

[cubby3o5]

In the words of drunk Niko Bellic "ARGAHHHHHHH"

[pat3r]

What the fuck man...

[merocket]

Beautiful melody and lyrics.

[Abortive]

real notes come out of the four guitars..

[BringItBackITV]

Anyone heard Bugman by Blur or Acceleator by Primal Scream?

Both got rhythm, lyrics, on hit albums. But both are extremely noisey and at times - well...

[BritGuitars]

@BringItBackITV yeah, Bugman is unbearable, even more than this

[StevenTalks1]

Awesome!

[Peringon]

OK man I love Lou Reed but I seroiusly don't get this and I'm not in the mood to pretend I like this shit, it feels like been trapped inside a Marshall amplifier during a concert by the who

[thanatoutheosJr]

@Peringon it is called noise music. It is the last frontier in avangarde music.

[doctorx0079]

The sound of Lou Reed on drugs. Lou Reed annihilates your consciousness. Fortunately this effect is only temporary. This is the sound of the orgasms of angels, over and over and over. Sixteen minutes is far too much for humans to take.

[super88cloud]

@doctorx0079 obviously you haven´t heard this piece of necrotic nightmare,humans can take it,they might be stubborn,and with a headache,but it can be done,i know it cause i did it,on two sittings but i did,part 4 is the worst part

[ThePogle]

soundtrack of life-keep your powder dry,my friends

[houdinidebeanie]

@mrtommyhendrix1 so you really don't feel anything when you listen to this? if so then i just feel bad for you, because i don't even know the word for how awesome this is. maybe transcendental. it's pure energy. it's why i like music

[Jessyk117]

This kinda reminds me of pink floyd on their first albums...damn ...I love it!!! (sorry my english is awfull)

[mkeysou812]

Fuck Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga and all the no talent losers promoted by no good shows like "America's got Talent", people need to rediscover real music, like this.

[IndianaJoel93]

Keep on trollin' trollin' trollin'

[TheThinkingGremlin]

In all honestly, how can anyone hate this? It's new, even though it's decades old, it's original beyond new levels, it's a risky album that pushed the limits of music to a new aspect. I LOVE IT!

[ArtQuakedoom95x4]

it's just a not-so-loud ear rape.

[NowhereMan989]

still better than the J-word

[FishGlaser]

For all the historical bitching this has gotten, it's not bad at all. It's basically a noise-rock/industrial version of ambient music. If Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works" had a seizure, this would be it.

[luvumo2day]

IT'S AWESOME MESS OF DISALUSIONISUMS SMOTHERERD IN OBNOXIOUSNESS,AND IS SOMETHING SUBSTANCIOULY RIDICOLUDED IN A ARENA FULL OF THOUGHTFULL PRAGMATISTS. WAIT , I THINK THATS MY KETTLE , NO , DOORBELL, OY FEY.

[crabskate]

someone actually bought this?!! ROTFL...

[rdeyahlxppp]

Lou Reed invented dubstep

[MYNAMEISJOHNIS]

this is experimental...i fuckin like it

[markboccaccio]

I bought this in 1975, the day it came out. I was 19. And...

[markboccaccio]

I remember just how ripped off i felt when i bought this, a double album no less, and realized the depth of contempt Reed had for the "common folk" that supported his skag habit. He never got another dollar out of me, the pompous wanker. His new album with Metallica is a complete joke, too. Just another no talent ego-dipped NYC fuckwad

[Xtremist777]

WTF is this?

[coolkingrob]

its got a beat and you can dance to it

[MichaelHansenFUN]

this is all processed guitar feedback. I have the box set without the book. it seems to have a track which plays excerpts from this recording without any overdubs, but if you hear that it still doesnt make sense...

[MichaelHansenFUN]

0:31 My faveorite part, you can hear soemthing being turned off, squelch

[paulyscrate1]

Best alarm clock/wake-up song EVER!

[rumpraisin]

@paulyscrate1 Or to piss off neighbours you hate.

[juanperez43]

at 0:12 I hear gulls

[saccredtwin]

this is actually quite beautiful.

[bunnygal079]

I have this on Quad 8-track. This was at least 40 years ahead of it's time.

[InfinityGalskap]

esto es como un revolution 9, pero en su versión terrorífica: parece una mezcla de sonidos subliminales y un viaje al lado más oscuro de tu conciencia.

[HyenaJourno]

I'm using this to tune out the people around me as I study.

[whytegroovin]

to me clearly the first ever so called " industrial music " album !!! he invented the term also strangely it's rarely said , throbbing gristle are always credited for that but it's not correct lou reed did it first that's obvious !!! its biggest sucess was throwing shit to therecord's label's face , an operation in which he perfectly succeed in

[raffaznp]

wooooooooowwwwwww...great

[SmurfAndBuffalo]

Even if it was a joke, it invented noise music, so I guess it's great to me anyways :P

[SmurfAndBuffalo]

[JukeboxHeartbreak91]

@SmurfAndBuffalo noise music was around before metal machine.

[niemand0niemand]

i would never buy this album. but thnks for up loads.

[gamesDAMNED]

This is definitely an experience if you're lucky enough to hear it on vinyl LP. I honestly don't know what to think of it, whether it's mad genius or a colossal joke, but there's no denying Metal Machine Music sits at the edge of extreme music. If nothing else, it's one hell of an endurance test.

[Zeta439]

They should put this in Silent Hill Downpour as the music. It scares you at hell. Holy shit

[GeoMcEvan]

@Zeta439 good idea :)

[bareknuckles2u]

What the hell...I'm on board! Interesting composition! Better than a lot of shit that I have heard.

[ProzorVerloc1]

Parts sound like a sythesizer- a beauty..

[Zzyxzaa]

Hey, thanks for putting this up.
