LOU REED "rock and roll heart" cd,1976.
im not really a Lou Reed fan...like a few songs here and there,but got this one a fair while ago in a five cd studio album boxset...i figured i'd like enough over the five discs to make it worthwhile, plus i get the opportunity to see what his 1970s albums are like...
i dont like it and neither to allmusic(they give it a converted 1.2)...
i dunno?,
just find him overrated as an artist and cannot believe just how many artists he hs influenced over the decades...
best part of the album is all the sax work...gotta love the sax man! its an awesome instrument IMO,but does nothing to enhance the songs much...
this one just sounds too commercial for an underground/alternative artist..maybe he was trying to please his new label bosses by trying to make something that would sell, which it didnt as it stalled around #64-ish on the US charts...
look, im not putting up links for this one, am totally sick of picking up and listening to bad albums over the last two weeks...pretty sure all the bad ones in my collection have cropped up at the same time...here's hoping for some 'good ones' to emerge soon or im going to go crazy!!!!
