Our Take

Lou Reed's Original Album Series is a rollercoaster through the mind of one of rock 'n' roll's most enigmatic figures. Bursting with creativity and a touch of madness, this collection of albums showcases Reed's ability to push boundaries and defy genres. First up, we have the classic "Transformer", a glam rock masterpiece that solidified Reed's status as a solo artist. From the iconic "Walk on the Wild Side" to the haunting "Perfect Day", this album is a must-have for any music lover. Next, we dive into the dark and brooding "Berlin", a concept album that delves into the underbelly of human emotion. Reed's storytelling abilities shine through on tracks like "The Kids" and "Lady Day", painting a vivid picture of a city in turmoil. "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" sees Reed embracing his inner wild child, with blistering guitar solos and raw energy that will leave you begging for more. This live album captures the essence of Reed's electrifying stage presence, making it a standout in his discography. Moving on to the experimental "Metal Machine Music", Reed pushes the boundaries of what is considered music with this avant-garde masterpiece. Love it or hate it, there's no denying the sheer audacity of Reed's vision on this album. Finally, we come to "Coney Island Baby", a return to Reed's softer side with heartfelt ballads and poetic lyrics. Tracks like "Kicks" and the title track showcase Reed's songwriting prowess and his ability to tug at the heartstrings. Overall, Lou Reed's Original Album Series is a must-listen for any music connoisseur looking to expand their horizons and dive into the mind of a true musical genius. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
