Chaz and Wolfie find themselves on the homestretch in their aural adventures with the 2011 album Lulu by Lou Reed and Metallica, with this, the seventh track from the album, an 8 minute plus banger called Frustration. The clouds part, the heavens open, and you get a vision of what could have been a truly fulfilled vision for what Lou Reed categorized as a no-brainer collaboration between him and the biggest metal band in the world, Metallica.

One has heard Lulu; one has never heard it. Join us on a bloody journey of discovery. Has Lulu passed the test of time? Is it in fact a masterpiece or a major piece? We'll see...
