Title: Simply wonderful songwriting.
Review: Here I go ahead where many have gone before to write about the Velvet Underground. All of their albums are essential for one way or another, the first two mainly for the fact that nothing else sounds like them (an achievement considering how many have copied them). The last is simply so catchy. However it's their third that is most wonderful. The songwriting is simple, and concern universal topics, such as love, fear of rejection, moments of happiness, loneliness etc... As such the songs seem to speak to you, recognise how you feel, live and simply 'are'. Linked to the fact that they are simple songs, based around a chord or two, your not being asked to any long solos or anything of the sort. Mo Tucker's vocals on "After Hours", are beautiful and fragile.
Is the review positive or negative?
