The Velvet Underground - Under Review

Review by Susant Sahani

Under Review, the album by Velvet Underground, is a masterpiece that showcases the band's unique sound and style. The album features ten tracks that blend rock, folk, and experimental music in a way that only Velvet Underground can. The album opens with "I'm Waiting for the Man," a gritty song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The lyrics are dark and introspective, reflecting the band's fascination with the darker side of life.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Heroin," a haunting song that captures the intense emotions and experiences associated with drug addiction. The song's slow tempo and repetitive guitar riffs create a sense of tension and unease that perfectly complements the lyrics.

Another highlight of the album is "Venus in Furs," a song that draws inspiration from the novel of the same name by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. The song's lyrics describe a sadomasochistic relationship, and the music is equally intense and unsettling.

Summary by Susant Sahani

Under Review is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates experimental rock music. The album is a testament to the Velvet Underground's enduring influence and legacy, and it remains a classic of the genre to this day.
