Ho-ly shit, I never thought I'd find this online. What reason would one have for digitizing it? Metal Machine Music is one of the greatest albums of all time and it's almost entirely unlistenable. It's industrial music before industrial music was a thing. Grating? You bet. I like extreme shit and for the mid-seventies this was about as extreme as it got. I'd love to have a dinner party and blast a quadraphonic version of it from all four corners of the room. Alas, the downloads below are not from the 8-track tape version. That format will remain the white whale for now.
