Metal Machine Music

The jury's still out on whether Lou meant to intrigue, baffle or enrage his fans-and his label-with this infamous 1975 LP, a vortex of wordless white noise and feedback. It has its critics, but it has its devotees, too-including producer Steve Albini, Sonic Youth member Lee Ranaldo and many journalists-who cite it as the album that begat punk. This reissue features cool metallic-looking packaging, new liners and Lou's original liners!
