I this record. I remember at first I didn't like it, but then oh my oh my
Stand ou tracks are obviously (I think it's obvious) Sweet Jane and Rock & Roll.

Velvet Underground & Nico = White Light/White Heat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Loaded >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Velvet Underground

[Norman Bates]

Very good. Which means it is not as good as the first three.

[Mr.Music]

A really cool album and suprisingly radio friendly. Rock and Roll is a forgotten classic.

[AlexZangari]

Probably my second favourite VU album. Knew I'd love it from the very first track.

An incredibly great album. Some people rank this as the fourth, third, or even second best studio VU album but honestly each of their albums were so different and all deserve praise. At times I rank this as their best. White Light/White Heat had the most influence on me personally, but today I find Loaded the most listenable as a whole. My favorite songs come of of Velvet Underground and The Velvet Underground and Nico, but my favorite album as a whole is Loaded right now, and has been for some time. Ultimately, they're not a group to be underestimated. My favorite songs would be something like "Oh! Sweet Nuthin," "I Found A Reason," "Who Loves the Sun."

Didn't care for it the last time I heard it. Not bad, but it really, really pales in comparison to the three that preceded it. I'll have to give it another listen soon.

Only Velvet's album that I just can't get into.

[EyeKanFly]

For some reason everything after VU&N just blends together for me. I'll have to give this another listen.

An absolute masterpiece, I actually bought this instead of their debut by accident a few years ago when I first started listening to them and it worked out rather well (I love bought though). Probably my third favourite VU album, very slightly behind their debut and White Light/White Heat, all are in my top 40 though. It's always struck me as VU's must accessible album for some reason, but it's great nonetheless. I'm trying to pick a favourite track right now, but I genuinely can't. One of the best albums of all time.
