BIBA75

 If critics elevate this album as fundamental to rock music, it means they stopped listening for pleasure long ago.

This review offers a skeptical perspective on the widely acclaimed album "The Velvet Underground & Nico." While acknowledging a couple of standout tracks, the reviewer finds much of the album boring or annoying, challenging its status as a timeless classic. The reviewer urges listeners to trust their own ears and hearts rather than critics and questions the artistic value of the punk and noise genres that the album supposedly inspired. Listen to The Velvet Underground & Nico yourself—challenge the critics and discover what speaks to you.
