'Sister Ray' is actually a nice track for the first few minutes. I would listen more if it were shorter.

Even though it's probably not my cup of tea, I can't deny what people see in this album. Even though, this is a really messy album, it's an inspired mess. I have heard albums that are much worse and I don't think that this is half bad, not even average, it's just not as strong as VU&N or their self-titled.

I wrote two rants, negative, on this album a while ago, but I've changed my mind quite a bit. Today, I think it's a very interesting album. Even if it IS experimental for the sake of being experimental, it's still more enjoyable than the average album. Maybe not my #173 favourite album of all time, but it's still much worth hearing.

Amazing. Used to be my favorite of theirs, but their debut has recently catapulted into my #3 spot, so there's really no fair comparison. "Sister Ray" is probably my favorite song of theirs, though.

Shame, I enjoyed these rants and agree with them to a large extent

This is sooooo not even why this album is experimental.

Magnificent, 2nd favorite VU album (3 in my top 50 though), I feel 'The Gift' is one of the greatest songs by anybody ever. The debut track is pretty great and then of course there's the beast of a track that is 'Sister Ray', 17+ minutes of awesomeness. I usually don't grow overly fond of experimental/noise/art rock or whatever the genre is, but I'm a massive fan of this.
