I don't love it. Very ditzy. Not the Lou Reed of "Sister Ray", that's for sure.

I like VU's versions of Andy's Chest and Satellite of Love more than the ones here.Also Loaded is better than this.

Not as good as Blue Mask, New York, and Metal Machine Music, but it's up there in his solo career. Better than The Who.

It's probably a bit flattered to be as high as 105 on the overall chart though there are a few albums on the overall list that are a lot worse albums than this. It's a decent album with tracks 1,3, 5 and 7 being the highlights.

It's very hit and miss. When I listened to it the last time, I remember thinking that the first three songs were fantastic, then listening to the fourth was like falling from the top of Mount Everest in about five seconds.
