About
If you want to be simple about it, <i>White Light/White Heat</i> is The Velvet Underground’s noise album: The performances are aggressive, the sound is broken and overdriven, and the mood is perpetually tense. Even its quieter songs—“Lady Godiva’s Operation” and “Here She Comes Now”—sound like they’re covered in grime that can’t quite be scrubbed away. It can be ugly and confrontational, and it might make you wonder, ‘Is this any fun?’ Lou Reed says the album’s engineer was so put off by the 18-minute “Sister Ray” that he left to get coffee, complaining that no amount of money was worth listening to that crap. .
