. Going in, I had high hopes for their project. Lou Reed and Metallica together should have been a no brainer. But maybe that's the problem. It feels just a little too contrived for me. Since this is just one "song" that's been taken out of context from the rest of the album...I'm going to reserve judgement. I will say that this is not Metallica's finest hour.

It was 42 years ago Sunday (September 26th, 1969) that the Beatles' final album, Abbey Road, was released. Although the Let It Be album was released the next year featuring earlier unreleased tracks, Abbey Road was the last album the group recorded together. The album's working title had been Everest -- after a brand of cigarettes their engineer Geoff Emerick smoked -- before the group simply chose the name of the street where their recording studio was located.
