While a lot of people are giving “Lulu” negative reviews, one thing that everyone agrees with that most think “Junio Dad”, was the best song on there. I agree as well. “Junior Dad” is the best song on “Lulu”. The song really showed a lot of emotion and intensity.

However, there are some people that enjoy “Junior Dad”, but they complain that the song is way too long. The song is almost 20 minutes long. In the song’s defense, when musicians go off playing a song as long as possible, they improvise it. When they feel that “emotion” while playing a song, sometimes they can’t help themselves but keep the music going. They are playing through their minds and letting the fingers do the talking. Songs progress.

If you think Junior Dad is long, why don’t you try listening to Iron Butterfly’s, “In a Gadda Vida”, that song is way over 20 minutes. What about Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells”. Led Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead, Phish, and most rock bands have written songs that are over 20 minutes.

The way I look at long songs, they don’t bother me. I listen to music like a piece of art, I don’t care about the song length. That’s the way bands play music sometimes, they stop playing when they feel like it.

While I did like the whole album, “Lulu”, “Junior Dad” is my favorite one on there too. I’m looking forward to see how well this album sells in the Billboard 200. It may become a no. 1 record. A lot of you will think this album is not going to sell well at all, but I disagree. I am predicting it’s going to be a hit. It might be a no. 1 record for a couple of weeks at least. While Metallica fans and metalheads may not enjoy this album, keep in mind that Lou himself has a large following of fans of his own. I’m betting my money this album will do well.

Enjoy “Junior Dad” below, feel free to grab a box of tissues if you need to wipe your eyes with, ’cause you might need it when you listen to this track.
