iTunes Review

Joy wasn't the first emotion most people thought of when it came to the Velvet Underground, but Loaded put it front and center. One of the things it's loaded with, in fact, is bubblegum "ba-ba-ba-ba's (first cut, "Who Loves the Sun"). Working within a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, Lou Reed sings many of his numbers as if hopping up and down on a mattress. Among them are definitive versions of the new "Sweet Jane" and "Rock & Roll." In addition to those songs' celebrations, he turns hippiedom's rustic mysticism on its ear with "Train Round the Bend" ("I miss the city streets and the neon lights") and stomps as hard as Godzilla through the statement of pride that is "Head Held High." Though less excitable, Doug Yule makes the most of the quieter "New Age" and "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" - the latter one of the most ecstatic guitar workouts in Velvet annals. What a swansong.

A Funny Thing And A Great Album
     
by zeppelin4evr

First off, I find it very funny how humblepie1 told us to "embarass ourselves somewhere else with our underdeveloped thoughts". Especially when humble spelled embarrass wrong (humble spelled with only one "r') and forgot to use a period. My teacher once told me that people who throw stones should not live in glass houses. Basically meaning, do not be a hypocrite. But no ones perfect. Anyways, this is one of my favorite Velvet Underground albums; my personal favorites being Rock and Roll, New Age, Who Loves the Sun, Sweet Jane, and Cool It Down, although all of the songs are amazing works of art. Buy the album now. Also, iTunes needs some real Beatles songs... But that is a different story.

I'd say the Velvet's are definitly a grand oldies band

Theres not much to say about this band other than I am a FAN!!! This was Lou Reeds last album with the Velvet Underground. It just takes a while to feel the rythm of the Velvet Undergrounds music and you gotta listen to them alot but their music is pretty easy to get addicted too, Me especially. If your a oldies fan or a Velvet Fan this album is for you. If your not then I'd say download a couple of their good songs or requested songs off this album and try them out!! You won't be disapointed.

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '90s

Few rock groups can claim to have broken so much new territory, and maintain such consistent brilliance on record, as the Velvet Underground during their brief lifespan. It was the group's lot to be ahead of, or at least out of step with, their time. The mid- to late '60s was an era of explosive growth...
