ReviewsIncluded in the Wire's "50 Records of the Year 2007"., 3 stars out of 5 -- "Both a sensual post-rock symphony and a right old racket. Ahead of its time, too, for the thrilling lock groove finale anticipates virtually every rhythmic development made since.", "...Heard now, METAL MACHINE strikes us as a mellow Merzbow work with neo-classical aspirations. What once seemed like a freeform f**k-off to rock music now seems ripe for study in college composition courses.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Since its release in 1975 METAL MACHINE MUSIC has been reappraised as an important piece of avant-garde classical music and a forerunner of industrial rock.", "It actually sounds more dynamic and complex than the original, but sticks to the contours of Reed's piece faithfully.", "Mmm Has Inspired Generations of Background Din Since.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Get in the right frame of mind, and listening to MMM can be as meditative as observing the diurnal course of the Empire State Building."
