The most dangerous record of 1967 has been absorbed into the establishment rock canon.
Few rock albums are as important as The Velvet Underground & Nico, and fewer still have lost so little of their power to surprise and intrigue more 50 years after first hitting the racks.
All four of the band's original studio albums are musts, but The Velvet Underground and Nico is the mustest.
This sh*t came out in the 60's? What the f***? By far the most ahead of it's time album I have ever heard.
(original score 88)
Edit: I keep coming back to this album. It is just such a flawless and beautiful project. I can't believe how many ideas it explores and perfects. It is a gorgeous blend of rock, folk, noise, and just all out weirdness.
Fav Tracks: Venus In Furs, Sunday Morning, Heroine, All Tommorow's Parties, I'm Waiting For My Man, Run Run Run

Ok so I know I give a lot of high ratings but this album definitely deserves it. It’s a genuine showcase of immense talent and thinking. The lyrics are great, and the instruments are all interesting, only bad part is the production, but then again this album is old af. Def check this out. Fav track is heroin.
The fact that this was written and recorded in the 60s is INSANE. The creativity and quality for its time is almost hard to comprehend.
