Our Take

Ah, Lou Reed, the ultimate rocker with a twist of avant-garde flair. "Rock N Roll Animal" sees Reed at his most electrifying, delivering a set of twisted, raw, and gritty tracks that will make you want to strut down the street like you own it.

From the opening notes of "Sweet Jane," Reed grabs your attention and doesn't let go, leading you down a rabbit hole of distorted guitars and hypnotic grooves. The live setting only adds to the energy, with Reed's raspy vocals cutting through the mix like a knife.

But it's not just Reed's performance that shines on this album – his band is on fire, with guitarist Steve Hunter stealing the show with his blistering solos that will leave you breathless.

Tracks like "Heroin" and "White Light/White Heat" are a masterclass in controlled chaos, with Reed's lyrics painting a vivid picture of a seedy underworld that is both alluring and dangerous.

Overall, "Rock N Roll Animal" is a wild ride that showcases Lou Reed at the height of his powers. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let yourself get lost in the mesmerizing world of Lou Reed. Trust us, you won't regret it.
