Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
I own the DVD-A version, but would I spot any upgrades or changes on the Blu-Ray? (I absolutely freakin' adore this album)
It reminds me of those 3D Stereogram images, where initially you just notice a jumble of colors and patterns. But if you can somehow focus beyond the picture, perhaps you'll catch a glimpse of the hidden image emerging from the mess. Not many people can do it. It's exactly like this album, but with sound instead.
This ain't no music, just a declaration. I ain't never seen no reviews talkin' 'bout their fav track, just 'bout the rightness or wrongness of it. Fact is, even if the music ain't all that, it adds more to Lou Reed's legacy than if he'd done one of his regular albums. So, whether by chance or plan, it's a win.
This album stands out from any other 70s release and is a noise album that has inspired countless artists since. Naturally, I'm awarding it five stars. It's the Sgt Pepper's of the noise music world.
I'm absolutely in love with it. My wife, on the other hand, can't stand it. So, it's just perfect for us. She's even demanding a shelf for albums she wants banned, so they're never played when she's around. The sound of it somehow makes her furious, while I'm utterly captivated. She even offered to buy the record off me so she could destroy it, but I wouldn't accept her money. When each side of the album ends, it feels like a relief from choking. Like waking up from a horrifyingly real nightmare, alive and breathing heavily.
