This album has definite highpoints displayed in"Can't Get Enough" and "Bad Company" but the rest of the album seems to blend. The peak of dad rock tracks can't save the snorers that are "The Way I Choose" and "Seagull". The remaining tracks on the album aren't offensive, but struggle to grab attention. At the very least, they had the sense to spread out the two standout tracks. If this album's greatest tracks were combined with the band's follow-up's best selection, they would have agenuinely had a 4 or 5 star album. Overall a dated uneven album.

The most accessible Lou Reed album. Still dark and strange enough to appeal to VU fans but with the production help from David Bowie to make him appeal to the average listener. There's a reason songs from this album are still used in media to this day.
