In my opinion, LOADED is one of the greatest Pop albums ever recorded, and probably THE greatest Rock'n'Roll record released in the year 1970. It's incredible that it's not better known than it is. Just to be clear: this is not Heavy music (well, maybe TRAIN ROUND THE BEND), and it's a million miles from Metal. LOADED is pure Sixties-early Seventies Rock'n'Roll (but you can truly hear and feel the 50's styles which started the style) Lou Reed was firing on all cylinders, songwriting wise, and Doug Yule did his best writing ever on LOADED. They take turns on lead vocals, with Lou getting the lion's share. Great backing vocals all over the place, and Doug is a fantastic Bass player. Very melodic. You want solid ? Nine of the LP's ten original songs are classics! For example, HEAD HELD HIGH is a killer high energy rocker, and Oh! Sweet Nuthin' is so melancholy and beautiful that it may make you cry. Vocals, musicianship, musical conception and ideas, general artistic direction, production, and yes, even the artwork, are superb. I want to say they're PERFECT, but maybe that's going too far- even for the Velvet Underground at their peak. Believe me, this recording was no accident. These guys (& gal) were masters of their craft. They knew exactly what they were doing. The Velvets did three albums before LOADED, all of them great. But this... this is a masterpiece!Read full review
the last VU album and maybe the most polished sounding. kind of a Lou Reed sounding album but still really good. One of the best bands ever.
