Has anyone heard this album? (Not just The View) I'm just trying to see if I can get another positive opinion about this album.

First off, this album is a concept album, and is more Lou Reed than it is Metallica. It is based off of two early-1900s German plays about an abused dancer/prostitute.

Now, because this isn't a Metallica album, it should not be viewed as such. It is more poetry with background music than it is a normal album. The lyrics are kind of out there and different, which is one reason why I like this album.

Please no bashing/flaming/trolling. I just want some honest opinions from those who have listened to this album.
