4.0 out of 5 stars But Lou can sing!, 4 Oct 2002
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
More often than not I disagree with the critics' assessment of Lou Reed albums. There are some great melodic songs here, like the poignant Billy that tells the story of a childhood friend, the fierce Kill Your Sons (an autobiographical narrative of psychiatric shock treatment), the title track with its nervous but gripping rhythm, and New York Stars which is reminiscent of tracks like New York Conversation and Vicious from Transformer. Just like on the latter album, an atmosphere of decadence pervades the work. Sure, the attitude is cheap, nasty and cynical (except on Billy) but it works in the context and Lou uses his best singing voice here for a change. The arrangements are fine and the music is very accessible overall. Those who like albums like Transformer and Berlin should find enough to appreciate on Sally Can't Dance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much Maligned, 25 Oct 2006
By R. Wilkins "gnusound" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read elsewhere on amazon that this album is execrable. Aaaah the joys of human perception. I believe even Lou hates this one But! not the story from where I sit. This is a joy. The band are so good on this, ss anyone who saw the band on tour will testify. Reed picked up the leftovers of New York band Rinoceros and what a sound. Danny Weiss scratchy guitar playing - fantastic. Like the trick the Beatles use all the time - just wee bits of promise on the fade outs or phrases used once and never again.
Title track smoothed over for the NYC man compilation. Live versions of Kill Your Sons released instead of the real one. Even Animal Language - free from the shackles of being literate Reed shows his rythmic lyrical genius.
Sometimes being Lou must be a heavy burden - on this one he went out incognito for a while. If you don't like it you're a snob.

4.0 out of 5 stars  but Lou can sing!, 31 May 2005
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Sally Can't Dance (Audio CD)
More often than not I disagree with the critics' assessment of Lou Reed albums. There are some great melodic songs here, like the poignant Billy that tells the story of a childhood friend who died in Vietnam, the fierce Kill Your Sons (an autobiographical narrative of psychiatric shock treatment), the title track with its nervous but gripping rhythm, and New York Stars which is reminiscent of tracks like New York Conversation and Vicious from his classic Transformer album. Just like on the latter, an atmosphere of decadence pervades the work. Sure, the attitude is cheap, nasty and cynical (except on Billy which is a tender song of regret) but it works in the context and Lou uses his best singing voice here for a change. The arrangements are fine and the music is very accessible overall. Those who like albums like Transformer and Berlin should find much to appreciate on Sally Can't Dance.
