Not my cup of tea at all. Sure, harrowing lyrics and interesting tempo change, but the production and instruments are torture to my ears, and it's one of Lou Reed's least interesting deliveries melody-wise. Ugly.

Among VU's best songs. Stunning piece of music and the lyrics are terrifying.

The lyrics are stunning, same with the tempo changes. The only thing I hate about the song is the annoying loud buzz of violins in the background. I think it would've been better if they made them quieter. They do add to the atmosphere of chaos, but they're just a bit too loud.

Crazy good song, tough call between this and 'Sweet Jane' for my fav Velvet. Between this and 'Trainspotting' I almost tried 'Heroin' just because it sounds like so much fun.
