 So beutiful, so uncompromizing October 5, 1999
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Just listen to it! It is so great. One might believe that it was all about making as much noise as possible, or making the music sound as "weird" as possible, or just about trying to create something that no-one had done before. This is not true. The real goal was to make every song as good as possible, as perfect as possible, to create a wall of sound that just sweapt you away. Don't let the distortion and feedback hold up your mind (if you like to do that, listen to White light/White heat), just appritiate how perfect every melody and every guitarlick is. Run run run is perhaps the best of all. It brings the orignal rock sound, deeply rooted, with the modern monoutony, the intelligence and humour. Sheer joy, folks.
Beautiful.. September 12, 1999

Abrasive, dark..beautiful..I love this album..all of it..every song is classic..particularly Venus in Furs and Heroin..pI guess I must be one of the only people who actually LOVES Nico's vocals..her monotone voice suits the songs perfectly..especially in Femme Fatale when her voice goes to a whisper..pFantastic..
Dark and lovely August 28, 1999

The Velvets never released a bad record, or even a mediocre one. Is this their best? Just about every song is a classic, and although it reeks of a sort of arty pretension (no doubt due to the Andy Warhol partnership), it positively feels real. Every band member (even Nico) contributes something essential to the true beauty and power of this recording. A significant achievment, especially for 1967. Highly recommended.
Probably The Best Album From '67 July 10, 1999

...and we know how many classic albums came out from that world altering year.The Velvets gave out everything which comtemporary popular music at that time never had the guts or imagination to offer, after paying the price of obscurity during their lifetime have reaped their full rewards would continue more so in years to come.This is a band that has proven to be more influential than the Beatles.Lou Reed is a master of the art of talk singing, one of the best songwriters in popular music,almost reaching the same level as the Lennon-McCartney,Jagger-Richards,Dylan pantheon of immortals in rock.John Cale's compositonal talents fondness for the Avant-Garde contributed tremendously to the innovativeness,uniqueness timelessnes,not to say the influence of this album.Moe Tucker is the best simplistic drummer ive ever heard.Sterling Morrison is one of rock's underrated guitarists.The brilliance of this album is boundless,which grows in time.Witness the pop beauty of the song's sung by Nico,some of the best in pop history;Reed's inimitable street narratives;the beauteous mayhem of their free-form extravaganzas into the unheralded,unthinkable, then,music showing then the music of now.A life changed every time it's heard.
A staggering blend of styles--all brilliant, all still fresh June 22, 1999

Timeless and powerful music from arguably the most influential band ever. I have some albums I might listen to a little more than this one but none that I admire more. No wonder the hippies hated 'em!
