Album Rating: 93.10
(931/10)
Yes, this 1969 album is intentionally a more commercial sound than the brilliant, Nico assisted, 1967 effort. Yes, as a body of art it is inferior. Yes, it’s not technically as good. But, as much I love Velvet Underground & Nico, I prefer the highs of this 1969 album and there are no lows.
1. "Candy Says" Yule - 93
2. "What Goes On" Reed - 95
3. "Some Kinda Love" Reed - 81
4. "Pale Blue Eyes" Reed - 99
5. "Jesus" Reed with Yule - 90
6. "Beginning to See the Light" Reed - 100
7. "I'm Set Free" Reed - 99
8. "That's the Story of My Life" Reed - 87
9. "The Murder Mystery" Reed, Morrison, Yule, and Tucker - 92
10. "After Hours" Tucker - 95 [First added to this chart: 03/24/2021]

I like a good Isaac Hayes monologue. But 8:40 of, admittedly smooth Hayes musings on the final track (‘By The Time I Get To Phoenix’) is too much even for me. It’s 20% of the album. Without it this could have been my favourite album of all time and it is still right up there.
1.Walk On By. 100
2.Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic 98
3.One Woman. 83
4.By The Time I Get To Phoenix. 75 [First added to this chart: 05/13/2022]
