Lou Reed's post-Velvets work is a tangle of genre-hopping, role-playing, decadence and inspiration, full of glorious peaks and curious valleys. A comprehensive trail through Reed's work is blazed by this worthwhile three-disc set. Reed took the urban poet-junkie ethic he perfected with the Velvet Underground and put it through as many artistic filters as he could think of throughout the '70s: glam rock, art-rock (Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman played on his first album!), avant-garde noise and of course, Velvets-style proto-punk. All these phases of his career are covered on BETWEEN THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION, in chronological fashion. Smartypants types who already own all the albums will be pulled in by the treasure trove of previously unreleased material.
