2.8 goodErwann S. STAFF | October 21st 20

Loulou goes roots rock to narrate his tales. The thing is, the music is more an accompaniment to the lyrics than the opposite. So, if you like listening Lou Reed telling coolass Beat poetry over minimal rock instrumentations, jump on this asap. Otherwise, meh.

4.5 superblz41 | January 30th 20

Urban "Nebraska". Reed steadily draws back from the mean and hopeless city streets as the album progresses to condemn the international puppeteers who engineer so much misery. An ugly and pessimistic album but perhaps his best solo work.

Bump

0.0 altertide0 | August 20th 15

An elegant Bob Dylan tribute with a couple of Lou Reed touches and the best set of lyrics the man has ever committed to tape (which is saying a lot). Highlights include the venomous "Good Morning Mr. Waldheim" and the spiritual "Dime Store Mystery".
