something lexically apt about it being credited to Relica

Robert Trujillo had reached his limit. It was now mid-June which meant that he had been playing bass for Metallica for more than eight years. Eight years, and all he had to show were three grueling world tours and one very self-parodistic album. It was more than the human mind could bear.

Kirk Hammett had reached his limit. It was now Mid-August which meant he had been separated from Jason Newstead for more than two months. Two months, and all he had to show was three dog-eared letters and two very expensive long-distance phone calls. True, when Jason had left the band and he'd returned to Battle Creek, Michigan, and Kirk to San Franciscio, he had sworn to maintain a certain fidelity. He would date occasionally, but merely as amusement. He would remain faithful.

more and more it's so great that this crazy record was Lou's final statement. kind of surprised there haven't been more archival things released though -- I guess the VU reissue train keeps a rollin, but wouldn't mind if there were some expanded reissues. You know, The Complete Lulu Sessions (12 discs at least).

Yeah I actually think about this a lot, like compared to most iconic people, I love that guy who had a super sprawling illogical career went out with maybe his (2nd most) divisive album (though Metal Machine Music is kind of canonized in a way)...it's absolutely relentless and insane, really fucked in parts, really great in parts
so much better than some kind of "return to form" respectable record like the last Bowie record or some kind of horrible "guest stars" Santana bit...

Lou Reed's final record is one of the most visceral and alive records I've ever heard.
Warren Zeavon has The Wind.
― pplains, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 14:43 (nine years ago) link
all otm!
I think it's the liner notes to New York where Lou suggests you take in the album in one focused sitting and then it's kind of like a movie. Really applies to LULU too for me, remember when I got it on vinyl I had a couple of good nights with friends where we'd listen to it all the way through while drinking a case of beer - Junior Dad is such a fantastic emotional payoff when you've been through all the frustration and desire up till then.
I think the way this album depicts sex, perversion, numbness, frustration is real interesting - and Junior Dad is just so touching, I think it made me realize some stuff abt my relation to my dad.

[q]GQ: There's been some talk about how the song "Junior Dad" brought Kirk and James to tears. What do you remember about that moment?
Lou Reed: Not just them...
Lars Ulrich: All of us. My dad was down there during the moment that you're talking about, and it was shared by everybody.[q]
Love that anecdote
What I mostly do now is listen to Brandenburg Gate and The View, then Iced Honey and then finish off with Junior Dad
