- Lou Reed- “Transformer” (2002/1972, RCA)
- This will certainly be on the year's end list methinks. 'Transformer' is a bonefide
classic album. I'm sure it'll be on the Rolling Stones, Q, NME (or
whoever's) list of greatest albums. That said, I'd never heard it. I
never felt the urge too hear it, or even buy the thing. 50p in a
charity shop? Well, okay then.
Now I knew I realised that something good was purring on the strereo when 'Take a Walk on the Wild Side' started to play. And I never realized that this was the album that 'Perfect Day' was unleashed. Seriously, guys, these are just of the few things that make all of it awesome.
Great, iconic cover. Phenomenal songs. Great themes about sexuality and living a different way to the rest. If you don't have it, you really ought to. Believe the hype, the critics were onto something here...
