Title: Not worth it
Review: Lou Reed's career has as many low points as high ones. This is one of the lowest. Bland, anonymous studio musician rock with lyrics that are so over-the-top that they become unintentionally funny. Eventually, though, even the humor factor wears off and it quickly becomes unlistenable.The scam, at the time this came out, was that this was REALLY Lou Reed - no, REALLY, the REAL Lou Reed, talking about his REAL life. Really! Honest! Of course anyone who believed that would also want to invest in Lou's shares in the Brooklyn Bridge or his offering of great real estate in South Florida.The best thing about this album is the cover. Nothing else on here is worth bothering with. Most of Lou's output on Arista records showed him at his least interesting, and this one unfortunately is one of the worst (only surpassed by the truly abysmal "The Bells," which no one should be forced to listen to).God bless Lou Reed, but give this one a pass.
