The ninety-first album: #91 The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
This album starts with Sunday Morning, a quiet ballad that I wouldn't immediatley have expected from the band - I'm Waiting for the Man is the first song that feels like it's theirs, but the album stays calmer than I thought it would be, more haunting than I would sometimes expect.
This also allows the album to make use of moments where it speeds up - Heroin especially makes good use of it, both the tempo and harshness of the sounds enforces the journey the song takes.It's experimental in places, very interesting there, but never off putting, which is useful here.
