This was pretty far out there for the time that it was released and a record that must've been hard for a label to get behind and promote. Tho not the easiest of listens, this is the underbelly of Velvet Underground. The stuff that isn't mainstream cool featuring model singers and promoted by famous pop artists. This is heavy psychedelia, disjointed and incongruous, like an acid trip that's not always a good. Still looking back on this (but more a trip to Wikipedia) shows that this 'noise rock / art rock / proto-punk' album was ahead of its time before heavy metal.
