Notes.<\/strong>
\nIn late 2011, the musical giants Metallica and Lou Reed released the universally-despised \u2018Lulu\u2019, 2 discs of collaborative work that one reviewer claimed was not quite as worthwhile as \u2018wanking into a sock.\u2019 Inspired, two other musical giants, Buttress O\u2019Kneel and Lucas Darklord, decided to take it upon themselves to create a Lulu<\/em> that was slightly better than wanking into a sock. They did this by each separately sampling and remixing material by Lou Reed or Metallica (with one artist on each track \u2018playing\u2019 the \u2018Lou Reed\u2019 while the other would \u2018play\u2019 the \u2018Metallica\u2019). These two separate remixes were then edited into collaborative Lulu\u00a0<\/em>pieces, which were given identical names to the tracks on Metallica and Lou Reed\u2019s Lulu<\/em>, and exactly the same track lengths, without bearing any resemblence to their odious counterparts.
\nIn essence, BOK DARKLORD\u2019s Lulu<\/em> is a revisionist concept album that attempts to replace the original work, acting as though that repugnant flop never happened at all. And best of all, it can still be enjoyed while wanking into a sock.
\n\u201cAiming to eradicate Metallica and Lou Reed\u2019s abomination, the same-titled record here is skewered on a bilious fist of liquid dominance \u2013 it hurts, sure, but this cavity search is the enema that the whole world needed.\u201d<\/em>
