The 4th album by Lou Reed and his most selling one, reaching top 10 in the USA. It was his first album not to include songs by Reed's former band The Velvet Underground and the first to be recorded in the USA. Reed was not much involved in the production and he was very dissapointed of the sound of the songs and since it was a hit-record the recordcompany wanted to release another one as fast as possible. Reed then handed over a tape of reverbs and noises that defenitely was not going to be a hit!

Guitarrist Danny Weis is a founder member of Iron Butterfly. Harmonica-player Steve Katz is a former member of Blood Sweat And Tears. Drummer Pentti Glan had played on Steppenwolf John Kay's two first albums prior to this album.

1)Ride Sally ride (6,0) Sounds very Eric Claptonish slow rock.

2)Animal language (7,0) Bluesy rock'n'roll.

3)Baby face (7,0) Slow and bluesy with nice feeling.

4)N.Y. stars (7,0) Slow sleazy rock.

5)Kill your sons (6,0)

6)Ennui (5,0) Slow ballad and quite boring.

7)Sally can't dance (6,5) Very much alike the other rockers on the album. Sounds a bit like Bob Dylan.

8)Billy (5,0) Acoustic and saxophone-based singer-songwriter music.

Score: 6,19
