This album started very slow. I wasn't super interested for the first half, but it picked up in the second. I liked "Macbeth" and "Paris 1919", and really all of the songs after Macbeth. It had a lot of very beatles-y moments. I added a few songs to my playlists. I'd never heard John Cale's solo work before, and I've only listened to The Velvet Underground a little. It's good! 7/10
