Exactly this

Hard to pick just one from that list of shitty albums. I'll go with Aerosmith because I remember hearing "Legendary One" the first time it was played on the radio. I recall thinking Aerosmith should have been able to do a lot better considering their last album of original material had been released eleven or twelve years earlier. I listened to the rest of it once. What a piece of shit!

Amazingly, the Megadeth album might rank as least disappointing on that list.

Some other fan needs to correct that. I looked at the album cover and it says LuLu only. No Metallica logo.

I mean, you're right, but generally a side project doesnt have the entire regular band in it. Like Temple of the Dog, or Mad Season. You got a few dudes from different bands. it's a side project. While this doesnt have the Metallica logo on it, what is it? It's "Metallica + Lou Reed".

They cant complain that it's not a metallica album, when all of metallica decide to do it with a tuneless grumpy old idiot helping ruin everything.

I'm not gonna accept that Lou Reed wrote all the lyrics to a Metallica album.

I never listened to all of Lulu, but you have to be a fucked up mind to start the fucking album with:

I would cut my legs and tits off
When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski


Like, I know that Karloff and Kinski played different versions of Dracula, but... the fuck? That doesnt reward me for the knowledge, it just sounds pretentious and meaningless.
