What is this album like in comparison to others?

This album is completely  different to any of there other albums. In lyric wise a lot of metallica's old work would be very fast and aggressive music.Unlike load and reload also when it was bluesy, the calibration with Lou Reed and Metallica was worse than expected. This album had slow dull riffs with no beat, which let Metallica down because its almost like they rushed it. Lou Reed states "it took weeks to record this album"-this is clearly way to short to be writing and recording the album in.When you listen too majority of the songs, such as the view it has a very slow plodding beat and the vocals are not like Hetfields so therefore they do not stand out as well with the beat unlike there previous songs. Although for a lot of lou reed fans this album is a masterpiece and really shows Lou Reed's true colours.
