Haha - I thought "Sweet Jane" was "Mary Jane"(a euphanism for marijuana, as you rightly say) in disguise.

I enjoyed this album, not quite the originality of Lou Reed's Transformer, but still holds up very well given the fact it came out in 1970. I am voting 7.
Good choice Paul.
I enjoyed moist of the tracks on this album, a couple I just not get into even after a couple of listens. 7/10
Lou Reed - nuff said.
Sweet Jane followed by Rock & Roll, great songs.
Loaded gets 8/10 from me......now if it was White Light, White Heat it would be a 10. (Sister Ray)
Nice one Paul.

I like Lou Reed as a solo artist and there were a couple of songs on this album that were good but overall the album gets a 6 out of ten for me. There just weren't enough tracks that made an impact. I will listen to some more of their albums though and see if my opinion changes.

Truth is always new, totally unknown, and unknowable. The mind must come to it without any demand, without any knowledge,without any wish; it must be empty, completely naked. Then only truth may happen. But you cannot invite it.
