14 minutes of a single 3-chord progression, which would make for a hypnotic groove, except they've got the gain cranked up to 11 on every single instrument. Every once in a while, Lou Reed checks in to tell some incomprehensible story about some amphetamine-fueled orgy. All in all, it's pretty awesome, but also goddamn abrasive and draining.
