Track highlights: 8. "Coney Island Baby" (5 / 5)
6th solo studio album by Lou Reed, originally released on RCA Records, reissued on BMG Japan 2006 with 6 bonus tracks. After having hit rock bottom with his previous album Metal Machine Music (Jul. '75), Reed, the songwriter is back on some sort of track. That is to say: Lou still seems somewhat affected by whatever drugs he did at this time of his career, and it didn't do his music much of a favor after his heydays with Transformer (1972). The song "Coney Island Baby" IS, however, a true classic.
