Metallica and Lou Reed's infamous 'Lulu' album will likely go down as one of the most universally panned releases ever. However, the rabid vitriol aimed at Metallica and Lou Reed in response to the album hasn't stopped Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett from being proud of the disc. In fact, Hammett calls 'Lulu' "some of the best stuff we've ever done" in a new interview.

Lulu. Until six months ago, that word made me think of a round-eyed cartoon character that polluted comic sections in WWII era newspapers.  Or that singer from the 60s.  Now when I hear 'Lulu', I cringe. Damn you Metallica and Lou Reed!

So we have probably all heard that Puff hates the new Lou Reed/Metallica album. He isn't alone. Seems as though this music store has either has no intention of selling "Lulu" CDs, or they are just doing their part to prevent returns.

There’s no mistaking Metallica‘s thick guitar attack and Lou Reed‘s spoken, attitude-driven vocals in ‘The View,’ a 38-second sample of which can be heard now online in advance of their joint album, ‘Lulu.’
