Criminally boring and overrated tripe.
A 4+ minute song about nothing more than hanging around waiting for your drug dealer. Not just boring, but straight up pathetic as well.
Another song that is mind numbingly repetitious in droning on the same two chords over and over and over.
The rest of the album sucks only marginally less.

I was just about to comment that this is secretly Fischman's favorite album of all time, but then I saw that you already revealed that it still holds a special place in your heart

The majesty of this album comes a lot from Nico's singing

My picks are almost exactly the same! Although I would also add Femme Fatale.

I agree completely. The vulnerability and imperfection of it is what really shines in combination with the music of the Velvets.

Well actually I find Nico's singing tone deaf.
But it doesn't stop me enjoying the album
Sunday Morning is my favourite track but they're all good
