On Peel Slowly and See album, The Velvet Underground have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. On the China charts, superstar The Velvet Underground’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This is one of The Velvet Underground best albums
This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. I came to like Heroin [Demo Version]. I believe I’m Waiting for the Man [Demo Version] is one of the most excellent, heartfelt songs ever written. Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams is perfect. All Tomorrow’s Parties [Demo Version] is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Opening track All Tomorrow’s Parties [Single Version] shows the best of The Velvet Underground. Melody Laughter [Live] is perfect song though, very addictive. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Music of Chelsea Girls is gentle, never overbearing. There Is No Reason [Demo Version] defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Sheltered Life [Demo Version] is possibly the best song The Velvet Underground has come up. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. I’m Not Too Sorry (Now That You’re Gone) [Demo Version] one of the best in my collection. Nice and different song. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Guess I’m Falling in Love [Live]. Booker T. [Live] is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Temptation Inside Your Heart as a highlight of Peel Slowly and See contains a ton of marvelous melodies. You can find feelings on this piece of art. What Goes On [Live] has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. The Velvet Underground has astounded me with this amazing track. Some Kinda Love [Alternate Closet Mix] - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of The Velvet Underground. Pale Blue Eyes [Alternate Closet Mix] is a song to enjoy for years to come. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. I like to sing along with Beginning to See the Light [Alternate Closet Mix], though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Peel Slowly and See couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track I’m Set Free [Alternate Closet Mix]. That’s the Story of My Life [Alternate Closet Mix] is a bit different from The Velvet Underground stereotypical stuff. Murder Mystery [Alternate Closet Mix] is a strong cut, one of many. After Hours [Alternate Closet Mix] - A catchy, upbeat tune. This song may be the most meaningful. I Can’t Stand It (3:24) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! The Velvet Underground must have run out of lyrics on the next track I’m Sticking With You. One of These Days without a doubt is the standout song of Peel Slowly and See. In Lisa Says full palet of sound is used by The Velvet Underground to accentuate the presentation. It’s Just Too Much [Live] catches attention immediately, Countess from Hong Kong [Demo Version] - My least favorite song on this album. In Sweet Jane [Full Length Version] The Velvet Underground is at his best. New Age [Full Length Version] is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Peel Slowly and See. Satellite of Love is such a marvelous and optimistic song that things can get just better. Walk and Talk It good vocals. Oh Gin is the funkiest number on the album. Although Sad Song is very melodic it is far from sad. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of The Velvet Underground. I was truly moved when I heard Ride into the Sun. The Velvet Underground is one of artists that allow his songs like Some Kinda Love [Live] to stand on their own and be heard. I’ll Be Your Mirror [Live] has a fun tempo. This is one hell of a track.
