I'm not a big fan of this album.

But that said, I'd like to get rid of I'll Be Your Mirror.

That song bugs me.

I'm deeply saddened to see Run, Run, Run gone. I know it's not the most sophisticated or profound song, but I've always loved it - I think it's one of Lou's best drones, and it's got a great freak-out guitar solo.

I'll stick with Sunday Morning, I guess...

european son

I echo damosuzuki's sentiments. "Run, Run, Run" has such a classic chug.

My reluctant vote goes to "European Son". As before, I think it succeeds very well but its goal was bettered on White Light/White Heat.

I hope "Sunday Morning" doesn't go next! I know it was a last minute addition for commercial purposes, but rarely has Lou sounded so tender and this song sets such a perfect tone for the album. Its dreamy music lures the listener into a false sense of warmth and comfort, when the song is really paranoid and disturbing.

definitely echo your comments re: Sunday Morning.

anyway, can we just give 1st place to venus in furs please? i'm impatient.

TheFrog said:

It doesn't work that way! I may be pulling for "Venus in Furs" to win, too.

Moonbeam said:

i was kinda pulling for all tomorrow's parties

Moonbeam said:

that's two votes at least!

okay, well playing along with the game, i vote tactically for all tomorrow's parties, because damosuzuki wants it to win.

is that allowed?

TheFrog said:

I've gotta say: that hurts, though I guess I completely walked into it.

I suppose I'll have to form my own coalition to bring this injustice to a halt.

Which part?

I'm probably weird in this, but its my least fave VU album. I'm just not a big fan of Nico. And I'll Be Your Mirro bugs me. lol.

CarrieMpls said:

Neither am I - I love this album, but it would have been immeasurably improved if John Cale had sung I'll Be Your Mirror and Femme Fatale. I think her vocals actually work really well on All Tomorrow's Parties, mind you...

I know a lot of people around here love Nico, but her vocals really grate on me. No offence intended...

damosuzuki said:

Agreed, agreed, agreed. I do really think it works for All Tomorrows Parites. Great song. But the rest is just kinda, eh.

CarrieMpls said:

Best song on the album

Femme Fatale

Dewrede said:

That's easily my favorite song Nico has been involved with, and I'm kind of a fan!

Didn't say i don't like it , i had to pick one didn't i ?

Dewrede said:

Yeah, but not that one.

The klons aren't havin' it.
