I dont know if this subject has come up before...
Personally it's in the top 5 best albums ever made for me. A record of total artistic freedom, nothing before or since has sounded quite like it.
'Memories' in particular with that bit about a quarter in, where the whole sound changes, as Lester Bangs noted "It's something I've never heard someone do in the middle of a track, the grooves start to burn themselves away"...
Could this be a unanimous vote from the HH'rs on the greatness of Metal box...or is it self-indulgent, bleak, post punk art wankery?
Answers on a postcard please....
