4th studio album by Lou Reed isn't really the place to start if you wanna check out the man's repertoire. This is a laid-back, almost indifferent musician, who release 'just' another one. It doesn't contain classics nor horrible nonsense, but it stays there in the middle of nowhere with no ambitions to do much other than... entertain ? It's a bit of a low point, really, although his 5th studio album, the successor really hits the bottom, Metal Machine Music from 1975 is... just a Lou Reed (experimental) release, and that's the best thing you can say about that. This one is mediocre, and Lou has produced several.
