This is the Velvet Underground's 3rd full-length and was recorded after the departure of John Cale so the album is a lot less wacked out and experimental then the first two albums (except for "The Murder Mystery" which is the most insane thing ever). What is left is a soft and intimate masterpiece of rock n' roll and folk music. This album also contains a couple of my favorite VU tunes; "Pale Blue Eyes" and "After Hours".
