Fans coined the term "Velveteen Underground"...... on account of lacking traditional VU staples and style. Not to mention the change in member line up.
Agreed with those who mention The Beatles likeness, 'Hey Bulldog' comes to mind in parts. To me it sounds like said Fab Four had collaborated with the Grateful Dead.
Also, the intro - along with being reminiscent, good spot, of Lennon's 'Rememember - sounds as if it is going to break out into the theme tune to The Sweeney (fantastically gritty '70s British cop programme) at any moment.
This makes Loaded sound dark and heavy, apiece with all those highly remembered Emitt Rhodes LPs. I must go listen to Sister Ray now, and wash this off of me.
this is actually pretty good... i know its not really VU but doug yule was a good musician in his own right nice to finally hear this makes me wonder where he is now
Not bad at all, but this is not Velvet Underground; so It's crap

This song is so epic. Doug Yule is a genius.

Doug wrote this song about some fag genius guitarist songwriter that left his band just as they were about to make it big.

I have come to a conclusion: I like the melody but I hate the lyrics! After 2:30 it really begins working with the piano and synth interplay.
This album needs to be re-released* as "Squeeze: Doug Yule."

* My understanding is that the record was never released in the US in 1973 and only limited amounts of import copies were sold. Any truth to that?

Now this is a lot better than everything Doug does with Red Dog now. A pity, actually...

Not bad, Doug should'nt have used the VU name, but what I've heard from this Album so far has a nice early 70's vibe.

reminiscent of early Beatles, yes or no?

A touch of McCartney's Monkberry moon delight from Ram in there too. Great.

This is actually much better than I anticipated it being. It's nowhere near as good as real VU, but it's not terrible.
