The Velvet Underground. It's an amazing band that is one of my favorites. They were very influential and so ahead of their time. Their debut album is amazing, White Light/White Heat is pretty raw, but ahead of its time, as the sound of the album would be implemented in later records. haven't listened to their 3rd album yet, but I'm gonna give it a listen later. But their 4th album, Loaded, was amazing!

Released on November 15, 1970 under Atlantic Records, who were a division of Kinney Record Group International back when Kinney National took over the Warner Bros. and it's operations, Loaded was an attempt for The Velvet Underground to get into Pop music that were radio hits, as Atlantic told them that they must make an album that was "loaded with hits", Which is where the album got its name from. And although they were very well known for their avant-garde music, Loaded was an exception, as it was mostly a Pop/Rock album. but even then, they really knew how to make an album of such a genre! The songs were great, like "Who Loves the Sun", "Sweet Jane", "Rock & Roll", "New Age", "I Found a Reason", and "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'".

Overall, I give the album a 10/10. it's one of my favorite albums of all time. The best way to listen to this album is the "full length versions" if you want the best version. Personally, I prefer the mono version, as it's the original way it's supposed to be listened to, as well as the fact that The Velvet Underground is better in Mono rather than Stereo as it feels more natural in my opinion.

and remember, I'm not a music critic like Fantano, so if you disagree, that's fine! I'm just telling you guys on the Internet what I love and what I listen!
