Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This sophomore release by the Velvet Underground cofounder has long been hailed as one of the key touchstones of the punk and alternative eras that followed it. Reinforcing the literary adage to "write what you know," Reed paints an alternately detached/debauched portrait of the drag-and-drugs-infused underground of Warhol's New York, a place, time, and mindset so compelling it has largely overshadowed the rest of the singer-songwriter's mercurial career. That the album would also give Reed an unlikely Top 20 pop hit via the teasing, twisted sexuality of "Walk on the Wild Side" is but one of its deep, rewarding ironies. Indeed, as produced by David Bowie and guitarist and cohort Mick Ronson at the height of their own Ziggy Stardust fame, Reed's songs are cast in a seductive cabaret setting that's more Jacques Brel than Lower East Side. This 30th-anniversary edition features two unreleased acoustic demos ("Hangin' 'Round," "Perfect Day"), a vintage radio spot by announcer and word-jazz cult fave Ken Nordine, and a new illustrated booklet and perceptive essay by Michael Hill. --Jerry McCulley

- Overrated certainly, but...Okay..."Walk on the Wild Side" is a great song, even if it's a crime that it's so much better known than any other Lou Reed song. "Satellite of Love" is also great, and the deceptively happy "Perfect Day" is of his all-time greats, featuring the legendary line "you made me forget myself/I thought I was someone else/someone good." "I'm So Free" and "Vicious" are also great. Most of the other songs, though, while deserving credit historically for being so openly "gay" really aren't so great. For that ... Read More

- Happy dead anniversary, dearCameron Crowe meets Lester Bangs and, natch, they discuss, what else, Lou Reed.
"Goodnight Ladies" (only 2nd, maybe, to Yoko's "We're All Water" as a 'song of the decade' {70's}) invented Tom Waits in a NY minute, so there. Transdressers, alcoholics, cokewhores, jus' good folks. Sandy my bestest friend, ever. But, also, it's May 12th, so I remember my 1st marriage, 29 years ago, too bad my husband died in a highway fireball 5 years ago. What else? Well. Lou Reed was my Carpenters' B-side ... Read More

- TransformerLou Reed-Transformer *****
Next to The Velvet Underground & Nico, Transformer is the most popular album that Lou Reed ever lent his tme and name to. While many will tel you that Transformer is the very best album Reed ever made as a solo artist that is just not true. This is a great album and easily one of his best, but not the best. This is a glam rock triumph. Produced by David Bowie and the unsung guitar God Mick Ronson Transformer is on the same plain as The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy ... Read More

- Better than even the VelvetsLou Reed really topped his former abilities from the velvet period here. And I know that this is a feat few people have ever accomplished, creating something more worthwile that the Velvet Underground. This album is sarcastic and most important, it's good rock and roll.

- Up there with the VU recordsOkay, I'm a VU nutcase - that must be said. I bought all four of their original studio albums in a three-week span, if you wanted any proof. I also like Reed's solo stuff, and this is a great record. The wonderfully twisted Walk on the Wild Side was Lou's only top 40 hit, and indeed it's quite a song. But don't, as some have, overlook rockers such as Vicious or Hangin' 'Round, Satellite of Love (featuring David Bowie, who produced the record, singing a great backup vocal); the slightly overblown but still ...
