LOU REED "new york" 1989
album chart stats: #40 US, #14 UK, #20 AU.
singles chart stats:
"busload of faith"......no chart action.
"romeo and juliet"....no chart action.
"dirty blvd"..............#42 AU.
fifteenth solo studio set from Lou, and my favourite of his...
song themes are very dark and mundane ...typical of Reed's style...themes include gay rights,religion,american excesses,marraige,US foreign poicy,drug addiction, domestic violence etc etc...
probably his best album since Transformer IMO, superb,lyrics,vocals,guitar work and melodies...
fourteen tracks on here,six i love, and eight i like, which gives a very good score of 2.4 using the MHRS or a converted 8/10.
