Straight up, I don't like this album. I don't enjoy Lou Reed's singing. I enjoy Nico's singing even less. A lot of the instrumentation is just abrasive. I ranked Heroin #1 if just because it was kinda interesting with the whole heartbeat thing, but I can't say there's a single song here I truly enjoyed and there's no chance I ever listen to this album ever again.

With that said, I'm glad to have listened to it if it's considered a "classic" but absolutely did not "get it" at all. If this got popular after the fact because of Lou Reed's solo career, well, I have to wonder if it was just because of people trying to like it, willing themself to like it, deluding themself to like it so they could be part of some weird "in" crowd.

Or maybe I'm just "basic" and have no fucking taste. I fully recognize that's a very distinct possibility.
