The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground
Starting off with an iconic tune heard in many films (Sunday Morning), then fading into I'm Waiting For My Man; this album early on set's the tone of the record - Classic 60's barbershop vocals with a Surf Rock Backing.
Moving onto Track 3 (Femme Fatale), was an unexpected one for me. This is the original version of a cover I spent many of my teen years listening to when discovering my sexuality. A VERY moving song and will always be a staple to me.
So far from listening to the first 5 tracks, I can already see how this band has had such an impact on rock, avant-garde and indie music throughout it's post years; from the distortion in the guitar and vocals, to the drumming patterns.
This distortion in the guitar mixed with the drumming pattern used across the album has been used over and over again throughout 90s rock presented by bands and artists such as Pixies, Nirvana, David Bowie, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Libertines. As well as 90's bands, this sound has transferred into more modern artists such as Razorlight, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, The Neighbourhood, and Lana Del Reys earlier releases.

Good album, good listen. More keen on some songs than others and can imagine considering this is title album that this isn't their best album. Looking forward to listening to more BS as never listened before

Bit samey, skipped through a few because I got a little bored. Fave was Dance or Die, think I'd probably like some of her other albums.

Very much not for me. I can appreciate the talent of the music, but cannot listen to the full album. Sends my ADHD into overdrive.

Brill album, personally prefer Springsteen's 'Live from Dublin' and would recommend this to anyone who underestimates the man. I grew up loving this album, and still love it to this day.

Travis
Exactly what you would expect from an album cover like this, by a band named Travis, released in '99. Sounds like they 'took influence' (completely ripped off) Radiohead, though butchered it in the making. Difficult to listen to and quite cringey.
