Lou Reed
Still not a fan of Lou Reed's "singing." Good groove on 2 - "Andy's Chest." 5 - "Walk On the Wild Side" still great; makes me want to listen to "Can I Kick It?"
9 - "New York Telephone Conversation." Definite skip.
3/5.

Much better than other VU/Lou Reed albums. 5/5 except for "The Murder Mystery" which was very 60s, very psychedelic, but not for me.

Reminiscent of lots of 90s electronica/DJs. Might not be for everyone, but it hits my sentimental button even if I never listened to it before.
