The Velvet Underground

You would think The Velvet Underground were the second coming of Jesus or something with the way people hype them up, but the reality is they actually had little commercial success during their time. Honestly, I can see why. This is just your average underground rock album from the '60s. There is some interesting instrumentation and are an interesting enough mixture of rock and avant garde things, but it's very middle of the road to me. I wonder if the "myth" of the band is greater than the sum of its parts. The standout song is "Candy Says" which was actually surprisingly progressive and sensitive for its time. Excellent song. Other than that, meh.

The Velvet Underground albums with black covers are better than the Velvet Underground records with white covers. …and this is the best one.

However flawed he may be, I am a Lou Reed fan. This is the first VU album after John Cale left the band so the experimental weirdness that came from him and Reed together is lacking here. This makes for a more widely palatable VU sound, which is not a bad thing. I love this album! There are lots of standouts for me, the biggest being "Pale Blue Eyes," which is one of my favorite love songs/songs in general. I think this record is also a testament to albums as a cohesive piece of art as opposed to a handful of singles and supporting tracks. The pacing is fantastic. It goes from serene to rollicking and back again throughout, which creates this wonderful feeling of tension and release. This is especially apparent as the wacky, intense "The Murder Mystery" plays into the cute little ditty "After Hours." I also love that track as a closer because it feels like I'm being tucked in and sung to sleep as a night of partying, and the album, concludes. A classic.

I really liked this. Actually, reflecting on it, I really, really liked it. Every song had something that caught my ear by way of darkness, tenderness, beauty, despair - usually all of the above in some transfixing you constellation. Then came the one-two of Murder Mystery and After Hours, which really sealed the deal. Murder Mystery staggered me - so many of the (emo) songs of my youth lifted wholesale the double-voices murmuring gnomic, dark lyrics - it was truly surprising to hear this approach on a record 45 years older than those songs. Then After Hours acts as a gorgeous counterpoint to all that fevered intensity, and sealed the deal - the deal being that I really, really liked this.

Mellow, bland, dull, boring. I guess I'm just not hearing what everyone else is hearing. But reading the reviews, and the book entry, I still haven't found anyone who was able to articulate exactly what makes this essential listening. One confused shoulder shrug. 🤷‍♂️

This album is boring and is not interesting. I don't know why this album has 4.10 on rym

Interesting but can’t get me excited.

During a heroin zonk-out on their previous album, Lou says, “and I know that I just don’t know”. He probably says it a few times. Heroin is like that. Here, considerably less heroin’d, and aided by melodies and vocals so affectless they’re almost childlike (just joking—you ever heard a kid make music? it’s shit) he shows us in exquisite detail just how much he doesn’t know. “What do you think I'd see if I could walk away from me?" “Between thought and expression, lies a lifetime.” “Here comes two of you. Which one will you choose?” “That's the difference between wrong and right. But Billy said, ‘Both those words are dead.’” They’re the questions, thoughts and feelings the great unwashed have every day. They just can’t put them in such a way that they retain their allusive, liminal quality, yet feel entirely accessible. Happily, Lou shows us he can brain-fart, too. The whole of Murder Mystery, for example, or the one where he says, “I wore my teeth in my hands, so I could mess the hair of the night.” Sure you did, pal. Elsewhere, After Hours may be the most unassumingly beautiful song ever recorded.

'The Murder Mystery' is easily the best and craziest song on this album. Two verses at the same time by different people hard-panned to each channel, with strong instrumental backing. 8/10, want more like this song, but the banana album is better overall.

This is terrible. Lou Reed has just never clicked for me. This does nothing to change that. It’s just boring, meandering, and pointless.

What the fuck is this? It's fucking brilliant that's what it is. Why have I never heard this. That's on me really.

More late 60s, hooray. Lou Reed sucks, his band sucks too. 2/5.

Fell asleep briefly in the middle of the day listening to this. When I awoke it was to a cacophony of babbling. Then Mo Tucker sang a song. Most unsatisfying.

The Velvet Underground should stay buried. Sounds like the soundtrack to some bad romcom movie. I couldn't sleep at all lest night but this album almost cured my insomnia.

Three albums from 1969 so far this week. Great year, and this is probably the best of them. Timeless, influential and so listenable.

8/10

Songs were a little hit or miss but overall a nice chill album that felt relaxing and easy to get through

Quite liked about half of this, although largely fairly forgettable. A few songs bored me a bit. Might benefit from a deeper understanding of the band/context. Not really what I expected from TVU. Much more folky (almost country?) than I imagined. Quite like the sad/relaxed vibe to some of the songs. REALLY like After Hours - probably the only song I'd return to. Faves: After Hours Pale Blue Eyes Least faves: Jesus I'm Set Free Track-by-track: 1) Candy Says - Striking lyrical start. Chilled. Sad. Like it. 2) What Goes On - more upbeat. Jangley! Like it a lot. Good organ. 3) Some Kinda Love - yee ha - country. Less keen. 4) Pale bule eyes - pleasant. Relaxing. Not sure its supposed to be. Sad vibe. Like it. 5) Jesus - bit dull 6) Beginning to See the Light - like the harmonies bits. Bit Bob Dylan otherwise. Meh. 7) I'm Set Free - nah, not keen on this. Dull and also a bit irritating. Folky at the end. 8) That's the Story of My Life - Jaunty. Fun. Nice little interlude after a bit of a drudge. 9) The Murder Mystery - System of a Down! Organ! Weird vocals. Some spooky and some talking. A bit odd. Don't mind it, but doubt I'll listen again. Liking it less the longer it goes on (which is long). 10) After Hours - Nice. What does this remind me of? Mr Rodgers? Really like the happy tune and sad lyrics. Soudns like Mouldy Peaches. Which is a good thing. Maybe my fave on the album (sorry Lou).

I was majorly into The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed circa 18 years old. Even spent what was probably an entire paycheck to buy the Peel Slowly and See boxset. I remember having a crush on a girl I worked with at the grocery store and lending her this cassette. I don't think she was that impressed. Looking back I'm wondering if I truly was that into The Velvet Underground or whether I was just being pretentious. Probably both. But listening to this for the first time in maybe 30 years I knew every word except for the long song where they just talk into both sides of the mix. Jesus is still a standout on all levels and I'm not sure why that song is not talked about more in the Velvet Underground canon. Also justice for Doug Yule, that guy was doing some heavy lifting here. Rounding up for nostalgia.

I’ve heard this album a lot over the years, but I’m really enjoying it more now today for some reason. It’s nicely cohesive for a VU album, and far more musically accessible. The absence of John Cale gave the band an opportunity to be a little more restrained, moving into fresh territory while still retaining some of their trademark grit. The album also feels like more of an all-band affair, and frankly just sounds like they’re just having fun. The lyrics are more contemplative and emotionally earnest, with less of the cool cynicism you might expect from VU. The band really nailed a certain moody, melancholy vibe, one that other artists have been chasing unsuccessfully ever since. I really like the collaborative aspect of the vocals that the band took this time around. Lou Reed had a strong pop sensibility, which I don’t think a lot of people give him credit for. He didn’t want to do the vocal on every song, and the other band members were brought in to do lead or harmony depending on who he felt was most effective for each song. Doug Yule probably doesn’t get enough acknowledgement for the quality of his vocals, but his work on “Candy Says” is really lovely. Also, Moe Tucker on “After Hours” at the end is such a bright blossom of a song. When the band ventures into more energetic fare, the commingling guitars of Reed and Sterling Morrison are riveting, the sonic equivalent of a sneer. I tend to favor tensely melancholy songs like “Candy Says” and “I’m Set Free,” but the punchier little rockers like “What Goes On” and “Beginning to See the Light” are great fun, full of the old VU jangle and burn. “The Murder Mystery” is some kind of wackadoo madness that you’re only going to find on a VU album. It’s noisy and outlandish and so very 1969, but weirdly fascinating. The album would have been better without it, but you just know they couldn’t help themselves. And I can’t help but love them more for it. Fave Songs (all songs, in order from most to least favorite): What Goes On, Candy Says, Pale Blue Eyes, Beginning to See the Light, I’m Set Free, Jesus, Some Kinda Love, After Hours, That’s the Story of My Life, The Murder Mystery

Phew I was worried yesterday's gem was a happy blip on an otherwise trashcan radar. If yesterday's album got me imagining ripping a giant bong and sinking into a couch while jerking it to Zooey Deschanel, this album makes me imagine dressing in all black, injecting just the tiniest amount of heroin, and squeezing lemons on Nico's cheek bones. I don't know if I've ever fallen in love with a voice quite as hard as Moe Tucker's in "After Hours". She was also their drummer—Matt, maybe this is an opportunity for you to lilt a tune while drumming during our next jam. Who knows what bulges will emerge. It's hard to not feel cooool, maaaan, while vibing to the Velvet Underground. Lou Reed will swallow you whole and shit you out into Andy Warhol's Factory.

This album works whatever my mood. Sometimes I feel so happy, sometimes I feel so sad...When I'm up it feels bouncy and celebratory, when I feel more introspective it still feels in tune. That's before we get into the fact that this band made - to this point - three absolute classic albums, all of which are so different from each other. Beginning To See The Light and What Goes On will always make me smile. One of the best.

Heck yeah this album is brilliant. There are no bites of the commercial apple taken on this and I'm glad for it. Mellow and lo-fi, I'll be adding this to the rotation. Just exactly perfect for a Friday morning. I think Kirk Hammett said it best, "when Lou Reed says he wants to make an album with you, you say yes." 5 stars all day, everyday, in my book.

Candy Says and Pale Blue Eyes have been some of the most important songs in my life since I was a teenager. The blend of calm and melancholy have been a source of much comfort in many different times, and also a source of enhanced wallowing when I could not wallow to proper depths unaided. I have heard What Goes On described as "a big swingin dick of a song", and crass as it may be, I cannot disagree. The Murder Mystery is probably the only song I'm not as in to, but hey, who am I to tell the Velvet Underground what to do. After Hours is such a great contrast to the rest of the album. I really wish she hadn't gone off the Right-Wing deep end. Album cover: (B) Its good but its no banana.

10/10 The Velvet Underground’s first 3 album run is possibly the greatest album run in Rock history, first by cementing an Art Rock classic in 1967, the most grotesque and Avant-Garde Noise Rock masterpiece in 1968, and with this, one of the most beautiful and lovely Pop albums of the 20th century. If you at all loved the lovely’s tunes on their first album, you are presented with an albums worth of wonderfully written and delightful melodies and tear jerking lyrics, a complete whiplash that displays the versatility and range of Lou Reed and company. I love gay people and Jesus!

Hard to believe how early this music was. So ahead of its time.

Masterpiece! Wondering if song - the murder mystery was taken as an inspiration for chop suey. Tried googling it, didn't find any info saying it was, but I'll live my life further believing that it's true. Overall I really think this album is a piece of precious art and should forever be cherished!!! Listened to the 45th anniversary deluxe edition, really appriciated the live versions of their songs from other albums, very nice. What can I say, I really like the velvet underground.

I want to start this review with the one complaint that I have about it. I did not enjoy listening to "The Murder Mystery." I have... respect for the song, but it just give me too much of a sensory overload that I feel like if I ever listened to this album again, I would probably skip this song. But would I ever listen to this album again? Yeah, probably. Aside from the one skippable song, this is basically a perfect album. Going back to when I listened to Lou Reed's "Transformer" a while back, my one complaint with that album was that I didn't like Reed's singing. Fortunately, his singing in this album is a million times better. The singing from the other members is great too. The songs have interesting writing that makes you really think about these songs. The instrumentation and tone are expertly crafted as well. Overall, this is a (mostly) phenomenal album, and I'm willing to excuse the one song that freaks my brain out and give this album a 5/5.

The machine has started the week kindly. I won't try to write something new about a record that's been dissected, scrutinised, extolled and rolled between many a sticky hand. My experience of listening to this today was marred by some randomizer I couldn't switch off in the car that kept jumbling the record, usually to play 'After Hours', one of the two songs on this record that I find a little irritating - the other is 'Murder Mystery' - though I'm glad they exist. The randomizer also threw 'Foggy Notion' at me, which is not on the record, but should have been, and is one of my favourite rockers in their repertoire, so irritated me in a different way. So I'm knocking one star off their six as punishment.

Love all of this ("The Murder Mystery" included), probably the VU album I listen to most (sorry, John and/or Mark). I could play "What Goes On" on repeat ad infinitum, love that proto-Motorik drone groove (see also "Foggy Notion" elsewhere). Just so good

Mellow and reflective with the aggression dialled down from their other efforts. A sobering soundtrack for that inevitable moment when all tomorrow’s parties turn to morning-after, makeup-smeared, self-loathing introspection.

more cozy music! much calmer then their debut, so i glom on to it faster. 92/100

Candy says is such a beautiful song

Feels like a bridge between the more experimental early VU and the later Loaded era. After hours feels like it was written yesterday.

This album is very cozy and enjoyable. Liked songs: Candy Says, What Goes On, I'm Set Free, The Murder Mystery Favourite songs: Pale Blue Eyes & After Hours

Solid jams! 4/5 just reminds me of oldies

Overall, I did like this album. No songs really stood out to me, but it was a good vibe all the way through. Some of the lyrics were really nice and I liked the sound.

Overall, I enjoyed it but some songs were still a bit trippy for me.

More mellow than I was expecting which was a good thing. Interesting, I'll have to revisit sometime.

Really good. One's always thought VU to have got overrated after years of being underrated. Their massive influence is legit of course, as is quite hearable here, easily their best record because the least pretentious and most earnest. Understatement worked well for them, particularly LR. "Pale Blue Eyes," "Some Kinda Love" and "After Hours" are all great, and other cuts are interesting, and the whole thing feels like a nicely integrated whole, and a product of them not trying too hard. Aside: It's weird to do an eponymous title on a third record, especially given the "w/ Nico"the debut.

I had never listened to this one from the Velvet Underground. This is a really good record, somewhere between the sneer and agression of their first one and the sunny disenchantment in Loaded. Though John Cale has left at this point and been replaced by Doug Yule, the tension and dissonance he was bringing to the whole is still haunting some of the songs, like with the organ in What goes on. Lou Reed is maturing as a writer really in his own league, but this feels like a transition: where the tension between Cale and Reed was driving the early Velvets' music, the center is visibly moving on this one. Love the doo-wop accents on Candy Says, a nice wink from Lou Reed to the music he grew up listening to in the 50s. And the nod to early R'n'roll on Beginning to see the light. And I love the closing song, with Moe Tucker singing, bringing to the foreground the child-like innocence and simplicity that drives most of their music, even at its most furious. Though it does not reach me as viscerally as their first record, this album is a great listen, with some amazing moments: Candy Says and Pale Blue Eyes are easily among the best songs Lou Reed has written. There is a kind of purity that he reaches at these peak moments. These songs feel like quiet creeks that invite reflection (the mirror is a theme in the Velvets music that reappears here and there here): moments of peace in the chaos. I don't know many bands who can capture this sense that beauty and chaos are merged at the hip, that there cannot be one without the other. The beautiful, the quiet, the still carries the memories of the grit and the filth it emerges from. And the oceans of noise carry the seeds of grace. It is playful and dark, graceful and filthy, honest and sarcastic, full of paradoxes. Just like life, and just like humans.

Listening to The Murder Mystery while at Atlanta International Airport has to be one of the most surreal experiences with music I've ever had! Overall, the vocalist balances traits of both anxiety and tranquility efficiently.

Surprisingly gentle and charming. This had a lot of sweetness to it backed by strong songwriting. And while we lost John Cale and subsequently a lot of the bite that I loved in the debut, we also got rid of Nico. So, you know, trade offs.

Aside from the iffy experiment "Murder Mystery", this album is tight from top to bottom and shows a lot of craft. Reed's vocals and lyrics are their characteristic mix of enthusiasm and apathy and ruminate on love and morality.

I really enjoyed this one. The songwriting is intriguingly subtle (especially for The Velvet Underground), the performances have an enchanting energy, and the production is appropriately raw. "What Goes On," "Pale Blue Eyes," and "Beginning to See the Light" are absolutely fantastic examples of alternative songwriting. It's a power album for The Velvets where they flex and show their depth. My guess is that most detractors get stuck at "Murder Mystery" which is admittedly extremely avant garde. But it's not enough to tank the whole album and, if you take the time to dig into what's being said, it's actually a really great piece of poetry about existential identity confusion brought on by an onslaught of popular culture. It's often considered to be a great example of the power of modern poetry.

Why have I never listened to this album in full. Simply outstanding from music to lyrics to overall vibe. Going in the keeper pile.

'Down for you is up' is maybe my favourite lyrics of all time not because it is difficult or clever but it's performed with such beautiful simplicity that I want to die a little bit every time I hear it. Does anyone else think I look a little like Lou Reed on this album cover? Just similar energy. He's got good posture though.

This list has definitely made me a Velvet Underground fan. I love this stuff. Nothing really sounds like them, even in the decades since, everything they do is interesting because it's unique. If nothing else good comes from the 1001 albums, opening my eyes to these guys will be worth the time spent. I feel so at home with this music.

I think this album is really gorgeous. It's deceptively simple, but the chord structure is nearly always flawless. Reminds me of a bit grittier version of the Beatles. Banana album will always be my favorite, but this rocked.

Never been a huge VU fan because my only point of entry was Lou Reed's solo stuff, and my one coworker who only played their live stuff. I like this quite a bit. "The Murder Mystery" is an absolute mess, but I really enjoyed the rest of it. Lackadaisical, subdued, easy listening. Favorite tracks: "Candy Says", "What Goes On", "Beginning to See the Light"

I don't care for Lou Reed's voice and I think The Velvet Underground are largely overrated. But this album wasn't too bad. It was cruising for a high 3 star rating but then it ended on a shitty note with the bizarre (and not in a good way) "The Murder Mystery." Left a yucky taste, so I grant this album a begrudging 3 stars rather than a curious and optimistic 3 stars.

i love them but a lot of the songs sounded like they didn't have energy in them

I don't care for this album at all, but I just want to shout out the final song - After Hours - which is amazing and was doing the modern indie bedroom pop thing 4 decades before that became common. I'm glad I had the opportunity to listen to this album for that song alone.

# Playlist track - After Hours # Notes - Not particularly interesting. - Found "Murder Mystery" to be way too gimmicky and the rest of the album to meander between "oh, that's really nice" and "can't this track just end already?"

Abysmal, barely a single coherent thought in the whole shebang. Absolutely rubbish, but still better than the Nico album! 0.00000001 🌟

Super boring. One long section of chord vamping made it sound like the mixer forgot to layer in the guitar solo. Least interesting 60's album thus far.

The velvets go soft.

Thought of this record as my mountaintop. Thought of it as my peak. Thought of it as everything I had and fortunately I could keep. 20/10

posiblemente mi menos favorito de los cuatro discos de los velvet, pero la vara está altísima. pensé en darle 4 pa diferenciar pero un disco que abre con candy says y cierra con after hours no puede ser menos que un 5. the murder mystery rifa y me encanta que esté aquí aunque evite que lo ponga en entornos sociales xd

Jeez, if I were trying to appeal to myself with a masterpiece record I’d definitely make the cover B&W at this point.

Velvety as hell. Always loved this one as a teen getting into the VU in high school. Candy Says as an opener is such a good lullaby into this new world of soft rock. The first alternative rock record? Pale Blue Eyes and Beginning to See the Light are my faves because I think they’re contenders for the best music ever put on wax.

I've listened to this album many times before. Not much to say, simply great.

absolutely one of the best albums ever recorded.

gives me really nice nostalgia

Wauw had het nooit geluisterd, maar echt onwijs vet.

I really enjoyed Pale Blue Eyes- very catching and I found myself singing along with it even during the first listen. The Murder Mystery Song was excellent. I miss the days of artist being free to bring politics and societal issues into their music.

9/10 I find it hard to believe this came out in 1969 - it's sound feels so much more modern than a lot of the other music from that time. One of the big influences on all things indie, so I got to love it

Hammer Album

Amazing. I’ve listed before, but was happy to listen again. Took me way to long to give this a shot.

Hard and quiet

Muy adelantado a su época

'Chill' is seldom haunting, and it's almost never visceral, but The VU typify both of those qualities on their third release, the 'chillest' of their five, the one that can be said to approximate easy listening, but which nonetheless cultivates a sense of the desperate and the tragic. Lou Reed's lyricism is as clear it's ever been, cutting to the bone, not only making something out very little but having the heart to respect the immensity of our living years: 'Candy says I hate the big decisions / That cause endless revisions / In my mind'; 'I wore my teeth in my hands / So I could mess the hair of the night'; 'I'm set free / I'm set free to find a new illusion.' And as always, tho unlike everything before or since, The VU don't just imply - they live - rock 'n' roll.

Lou Reed is so fucking cool. The Beatles are the most important band in history but I think Velvet Underground are the coolest band in history. I have no idea how they invented this sound, kinda glad it was such a pressure cooker/flash in the pan that just went on to live out forever in numerous influences, most nakedly and I think maybe my favorite in Jonathan Richman/the Modern Lovers, though I think it's fair to say literally thousands of bands built on this sound and aesthetic. But also thankful that we got all of Lou Reeds wild and wacky solo career. Pale Blue Eyes is a top 40 all time song for me and for some reason I was immediately compelled to put it on my funeral playlist. Not a band song on the album I don't think but beginning to see the light is also great. Huge pavement influence heard very clearly on The Murder Mystery.

masterpiece

Some days this is my favourite Velvets album, What Goes On the best song. What a band

already listened to this before the challenge

Such a beautiful album. Thank you Lou Reed for writing Candy Says. 🏳️‍⚧️

Had not heard this before today, loved it. Don’t know why I shied away from VU, but I suppose my taste has become more eclectic as I have got older.

I do love this one!

This is an outstanding album. I can't say I disliked any song on here, and that includes The Murder Mystery, which I really liked.

Of course

Sometimes feels so happy sometimes feels so sad...." c

Reviewing a second time?

There is no such thing as a bad Velvet Underground album unless Lou Reed isn’t on it. A close friend of mine argues that Lou needed an “editor” in John Cale but I am on the fence on that assessment. Anyway, this album should have made the Velvets superstars in their own time with its more contemplative, semi-acoustic arrangements. But unfortunately, they were on a crap label (Verve/MGM) at the time that was just about to be taken over by the tineared Mike Curb. By the time the Velvets changed labels to Cotillion/Atlantic and were ready to release “Loaded”, Lou Reed had quit his own band, Doug Cale had taken it over (to the point where he credited all of Lou’s songs to the entire band on the album sleeve and label copy of Loaded) and MGM was about to piggyback the album with a “Golden Archive Series” best-of. But that doesn’t change the fact that, where the first two albums of the VU were proto-punk, this eponymous third album and Loaded were proto-indie rock. And the world has been better for it all.

This is my favorite Velvet Underground album. I bought this on vinyl so long ago and would listen to it over and over again. It is their most chill and relaxed album. We used to joke that this is Lou's first solo album. Wear good head phones as they play with sound a lot. It makes me miss my larger hi-fi speakers I used to have. I use to try and make out all the lyrics to Murder Mystery. I still never looked up the lyrics. Great album. Easily one of my favorites.

A friend introduced me to The Velvet Underground in college. I listened to this album a lot in 1993. I liked it then and I like it now. I do not know that I love-love it, but I'm definitely grading on a curve with these ratings.

still incredibly relevant. artistry, attitude. 'closet mix' is probably my favorite version of this. the stereo version of valentin is a little too stereo and doesnt hold up well in headphones. the closet also maintains the original vision of how these should sound according to lou. never knew the differences before looking into it now. each mix is probably good in its own way. I prefer the first two albums, but this has a bunch of great tunes and is experimental in its own right touching upon folk, blues, gospel, avant garde experiments, and a lullaby. there's too many lovely songs and flat out tunes and influence not to give it five stars.

sooo gooood

loved it, no notes. pale blue eyes and Jesus are some favs

I’m doing it, despite The Murder Mystery being weird. I haven’t been as captivated by a song as I am by Pale Blue Eyes in a loooong time.

10

Everything they did was original and beautiful.

This started slow, and I wasn't convinced at all. But then I hit "Pale Blue Eyes", and the stress of the day dwindled to a faint echo. From this point on, it's a cracker. "Jesus" is gorgeous as well. From that point on, it's just a wonderful album. This is a very different Velvet Underground from the one I thought I knew.

not my favourite vu album

One of my favs, start to finish

The VU mellow out musically and lyrically into a more melodic, straightforward, folkier, softer, poppier rock - but not in such a way it becomes bland or boring. Dropping their transgressive subversion in favor of some love songs, they show their prowess in writing a pretty standard song with pretty standard topics and not needing to rely on Avant-garde experimentalism(except the ever-peculiar The Murder Mystery). The songs and album are still high quality, melodies abound, proving that this is a band who can do both.

Loved it

A classic album: My favorites: What Goes On, Pale Blue Eyes, Jesus, Beginning To See the Light and After Hours.

Honestly one of my big errors has to be listening to the velvet underground and Nico years ago, loving it, and then never listening to another song by them. I loved this album. From the opening called “Candy Says” which is wonderful. To songs like “Pale Blue Eyes”, “Jesus”, and “I’m Set Free” it was fantastic. The only song I didn’t like was “The Murder Mystery” sorry this is not my sort of thing.

Hell yeah
