5.0 out of 5 stars Punishing in a good way, November 12, 2004

Sorry, but I had a profound spiritual experience when I heard this album all the way through for the first time (I'd previously heard a few snippets of it on Dr. Demento). Like another reviewer said, this album sounds exactly like the inside of my head. I never knew someone else on earth heard that sound, and Lou actually captured it, whether on purpose or not.

The best pranks run so amok that nothing is ever the same again. Metal Machine Music is such a prank. It was the beginning of the end of rock's tyranny over the cutting edge. It's the reason I traded in Bob Dylan for Aphex Twin as my favorite artist. It was one of the defining moments of a career that defined the term "anti-hero." It's punishing in a good way. Thank-you-sir-may-I-have-another!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent financial insight!, July 25, 2000

This album provides astonishingly accurate insights into the global economics of today's multinational financial institutions. How Reed was able to predict future events in such a highly accurate manner is both intriguing and frightening. An essential, timely piece which everyone interested in global financial politics should listen to immediately.
