^ That`s a pretty good appraisal, Frownland. I remember at the time how VU seemed to be going in the opposite musical direction to almost every other rock band. So many bands in the 70s were getting lured into overblown songwriting and ever more complicated studio wizardry. It was against that background that VU looked their best, imo.
