Negative Positive
Title: ...
Review: This is one of the worst albums I have ever heard in my life; the singing is horrible and the lyrics are insipid..,no amount of drug referecesare going to save tuneless concoctions such as "waiting for the man" and "Run Run Run." Nico is a true horror, her...voice makes unlistenable material "Femme Fatale etc." even worse. Lou Reed was (and still is) a writer of unmelodic and uninteresting song rendered listenable only by the occasional collaboration with a brilliant producer. The only thing that makes this album tolerable is John Cale, whose viola renders certain song (Heroin, Venus in Furs) and listenable and sometimes even beautiful. The ominous shrieks actually provide a line of melody where previously there would have been none.
Is the review positive or negative?
