This was the Velvets' response to suggestions that they pursue a more commercial sound... leading me to conclude that the Velvets don't take suggestion well. The album features songs about drugs, transexuals and orgies, and "here she comes now" which always sounds suspiciously like Lou is trying to slip some covert c-bombs into the cultural consciousness.
Musically this features some loud, jangly, distorted rock. It explores the noisier areas of music without completely dissolving into nothingness; but definitely not embracing a commercial sound, particular the sprawling, exploratory epics "the gift" and "sister ray".
