Holy shit! How have I never got around to listening to this album?! Still sounds as vital and relevant as it must surely have done back then.
Mixing punky Loud Reed snarl, and the laid back storytelling of the beat poets. Backed by music that is, in places, punky goodness, and in others majestic piano, building to frantic skittish rock.
An influence on many female musicians including Chrissie Hynde and Courtney Love, but also on plenty of male-fronted bands such as Talking Heads and (early) REM.
