The Velvet Underground - Loaded
While having intended to do so for ages, I'd never got around to listening to this record properly, but my interest was recently piqued anew when Swee Leng declared it her favourite Velvet Underground album. Anyhow, I like it, but it doesn't speak to me in the way that The Velvet Underground & Nico does, and it doesn't compel in the way that White Light/White Heat does (not that I'm particularly a booster of that latter); it's probably about on a par with The Velvet Underground, for mine, or maybe slightly below...turns out that I don't have much to say about Loaded, which sort of says it all, really.
