Title: Gritty, Grim - and Glorious!
Product review: If it can be said of Lou Reed that he has put out some pretty awful stuff, it is equally true that he has been responsible for several of rock and roll's high points. With New York, Lou hits heights not seen since the Velvet Underground. Romeo Had Juliette is a simply stunning opener, hard-driving poetry set to a beautifully distorted guitar beat; Dirty Boulevard is justly famous for its "Statue of Bigotry" verse; and Strawman manages to be fiercely compassionate and just plain mean at the same time. There are other highlights, but let it just be said that this, my friends, is rock and roll.
