"The View" Released: September 27, 2011 "Iced Honey" Released: October 31, 2011 Metallica and Lou Reed would have to do what most other artists did when recording this album. Firstly they would have had to write each track out and master it to perfection. Shortly after they would have got an artist to script out the album artwork and what they would want inside out of the musical product and even on the CD. After this they would have talked about packaging and how they would want the CD presented, whether they would have wanted it with a dvd accompanied with it, or just a normal album. Next they would probably promote the album by putting up different leaflets and flyers and most likely brodcast a TV advertisement about when the album would be released and what would be feauturing on it.
