Our Take

Lou Reed's New York in L.A. is a whirlwind of punk rock bravado and poetic musings, a sonic journey through the gritty streets of NYC transplanted onto the sun-kissed boulevards of Los Angeles. With his signature deadpan delivery and knack for incisive lyricism, Reed takes us on a wild ride through love, loss, and the seedy underbelly of urban life. Tracks like "Dirty Boulevard" and "Last Great American Whale" showcase Reed at his most rebellious, railing against societal norms with an irreverent wit that is as sharp as ever. Meanwhile, songs like "Halloween Parade" and "Busload of Faith" display Reed's softer, more introspective side, revealing a vulnerability that is both surprising and endearing. The album's production is raw and unpolished, giving it a DIY charm that is a refreshing departure from the slick, overproduced sound of much modern music. Reed's bandmates, including guitarist Mike Rathke and drummer Fred Maher, provide a solid foundation for his musings, creating a solid sonic backdrop that allows Reed's words to take center stage. Overall, Lou Reed's New York in L.A. is a bold, uncompromising statement from a true music legend. With its mix of punk rock energy and poetic insight, this album is a must-listen for fans of intelligent, thought-provoking music that doesn't pull any punches. Long live Lou Reed!
