Since this album allegedly influenced every sort of music I like, I've listened to it several times. The problem is, I don't like it as an album. I like some of the songs a lot but don't care for most of them, and I don't think it flows well. Even the songs I do like just make me want to listen to different Lou Reed songs. I'm sure there's something here that I just don't get, but I don't get it even though I've tried.
