IrishMusichead 05/24/2013 22:21Ehhhh... creative?
I'm not sure why I like this
swedenmanPhenomenal. I'd probably say it's my favorite of theirs. No weak tracks to be found on here.
ModNice small album, with a long ending. Sister Ray is fantastic despite its length.
ProfessorSquid 04/09/2013 18:07Even if you think this is only noise, which is debatable, who's to say that there's something wrong with that?
SingingPeasant96 02/20/2013 04:56just like sister ray said "Great"
sethmadsen 02/10/2013 01:44Not bad, not great. I liked the title track and Here She Comes Now the most.
Bought this. Kind of disapointed. Like Lou Reeds solo work better, especially Berlin.
thejoj96This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.
Mother Nature's Son 10/18/2012 20:25It does have little songwriting (as I said it has nearly, but only nearly, zero songwriting), but the songwriting itself is nothing to get excited about at all!
The thoughts behind the album itself are very limited, I don't think anybody will disagree with that statement, and the result of this album is something that reflects a most likely chaotic lifestyle and a band completely out of control. Out of madness comes genius or what? Is that really the case with this album? Or has its praise something to do with the fact that this might be the first album where drugs had completely drawn a band away from the music? This album is different, yes, but only because of its noisier sound and masturbating drive. Something that arguably have inspired many bands, okay, but WHY IS IT GREAT? After all it is in our top 200 OF ALL TIME! Not very far from our top 100 when you think about it!
Sorry if I seem mad, I know this comment will get a lot of negative votes. But I really have a suspicion that people are bandwagoning with this album, a case where the image is bigger than the music. It just frustrates me that so many bands and artists have put really much thought and energy into an album to perfect it and make it really great, and then there is this band who just hurries into a studio (I've read on Wikipedia that the album was recorded in two days) and make this soulless piece of nonsense!
