VELVET UNDERGROUND - s/t LP australian The raw production and smash-your-head-against-the-wall

The raw production and smash-your-head-against-the-wall amphetamine rush of the songs is completely addictive

they appear to be representing the landscape of their new home

And it all coheres awesomely

that’s for sure—but these two spend the entire album swinging wildly between subdued songwriting and all-beef guitars

Fast and furious "live fast die young" punk rock manifesto

VELVET UNDERGROUND - s/t LP australian The raw production and smash-your-head-against-the-wall45th anniversary edition. Highly recommended. Originally released in 1969, The Velvet Undergrounds self titled third album famously departed from the bands first two LPs. John Cale was replaced with Doug Yule, and the record was a stylistic shift, demonstrating a warmer, more optimistic side to VU.
