Upon first release, the Velvet Underground's self-titled third album must have surprised their fans nearly 

as much as their first two albums shocked the few mainstream music fans who heard them. 

After testing the limits of how musically and thematically challenging rock could be on Velvet Underground & Nico 

and White Light/White Heat, this 1969 release sounded spare, quiet, and contemplative, as if the previous albums 

documented some manic, speed-fueled party and this was the subdued morning after.

 (The album's relative calm has often been attributed to the departure of the band's most committed avant-gardist, 

John Cale, in the fall of 1968; the arrival of new bassist Doug Yule; and the theft of the band's amplifiers shortly 

before they began recording.) But Lou Reed's lyrical exploration of the demimonde is as keen here as on any album 

he ever made, while displaying a warmth and compassion he sometimes denied his characters. 

"Candy Says," "Pale Blue Eyes," and "I'm Set Free" may be more muted in approach than what the band 

had done in the past, but "What Goes On" and "Beginning to See the Light" made it clear the VU 

still loved rock & roll, and "The Murder Mystery" (which mixes and matches four separate poetic narratives) 

is as brave and uncompromising as anything on White Light/White Heat....(All Music)
