Lou's second and most acclaimed album......
I own a few but think he has a lot of filler on those albums....
the exception being "New York", classic album IMO....
this one is full of his typically Lou Reed sound, contains the classic "walk on the wild side"
which is a classic, and would be from any era of pop music...
good melodies and tunes on this one...
a very good album and I guess all I need is "berlin" now....
I asked MH how he thought this one would pan out for me but only after I already played it and scored it...
he saw me scoring this one at 2.2, he was as close to the mark as you could get....
anyway,
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: New York telephone conversation
best track: walk on the wild side
