Metal Machine Marketing?

The once considered unlistenable/avant garde/contractual obligation kiss-off/experimental detour--take your pick--Metal Machine Music has not only experienced a critical revival of sorts--it was once labeled the worst album ever made--but now Lou Reed's 1975 epic, double album has been classically transcribed by avant garde ensemble Zeitkratzer with Lou's blessing. PopMatters sat down with Mr. New York and asked for his thoughts on his original work and his opinion of this new reinterpretation.
