I find that the album is spacey in a way and if you can get into the atmosphere it creates its easy to enjoy. If not than it just sounds like a bunch of noise.

Love Robert's take on music.

I've heard that the album is comprised entirely of guitar feedback sped up and slowed down. Boris (a japanese avant-garde/noise band) had done the same thing except they had a droning bass guitar thrown in the mix. I believe the album was "Absolutego" and it consisted of 1 track which was roughly an hour long.

I would have to be as stoned as Lou Reed was in the making of it to listen to it in its entirety again.

I just watched 'Lou Reed live at Montreux' on TV and I was looking through MBs Search Forums and found that reading all of the posts in this thread kept my attention longer than Lou Reeds music did, but seriously.. through the first couple of songs I was really captivated by his style of music and at what a good band he had behind him, the bass player was playing a 6-string fretless and the drummer was outstanding also, It.. kinda' gave it a sour taste when Reed started singing but even then after a couple of songs I seen that his style as a vocalist was more of a 'storyteller', and his thrashing/strumming of the guitars did get a little annoying after a few bars, but I recognized the influence that his music has had on other bands like.. REM is one that stands out to me, and Reeds voice...Ive heard that tone & style before with another band, Dire Straits...is Lou Reed the lead singer for that band or am I missing something!
Lou Reed is not someone that I wouldnt personally want to listen to all the time but his style is worth giving a listen to, even if it is a brief one.

I made it to 7 minutes.
Fascinating initially but descends far too quickly into chaos.
