4.5 superbdidnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | April 20th 24

Back when Lpu Reed was still actively channeling the softer side of tVU into his solo projects, he pumped out a beast of an infectious pop-rock album with just enough curious experimental production choices sprinkled around to hint at all the madness he would go on to create later in his career.

4.5 superblz41 | December 18th 14

What is most confronting about 'Berlin' isn't its themes or plot, it's the fact that there is no character here that we would want to relate to. Even the music mocks our vulnerabilties and unease: until the album's conclusion, it dances along decadently without regard to its characters' suffering.
