Title: The "Plan 9 from Outer Space" of Albums
Review: I have to admit that when I first heard this album as a high-school student, I was captivated by how horrible it was. My friends and I would listen to it repeatedly, almost to the point of cult-worship. We then sought out other Velvet Underground albums, hoping for a similar "so bad it's good" experience - but alas, none of the band's other releases, bereft of musicianship or good lyrics though they were, could compare with "White Light White Heat." Everything just came together magnificently on this one - the writing, the playing, the singing, the engineering, even the famous "skull cover"... It all adds up to a classic!I don't want to spoil the music by analyzing it too much, but let me point out Sterling Morrison's lead guitar on "I Heard Her Call My Name" as a "highlight" of this special collection.
