Reviewby Mark Deming
Transformer and "Walk on the Wild Side" were both major 
hits in 1972, to the surprise of both Lou Reed and the 
music industry, and with Reed suddenly a hot commodity, 
he used his newly won clout to make the most ambitious 
album of his career, Berlin. Berlin was the musical 
equivalent of a drug-addled kid set loose in a candy 
store; the album's songs, which form a loose story line 
about a doomed romance between two chemically fueled 
bohemians, were fleshed out with a huge, boomy 
production (Bob Ezrin at his most grandiose) and 
arrangements overloaded with guitars, keyboards, horns, 
strings, and any other kitchen sink that was handy (the 
session band included Jack Bruce, Steve Winwood, Aynsley 
Dunbar, and Tony Levin). And while Reed had often been 
accused of focusing on the dark side of life, he and 
Ezrin approached Berlin as their opportunity to make The 
Most Depressing Album of All Time, and they hardly 
missed a trick. This all seemed a bit much for an artist 
who made such superb use of the two-guitars/bass/drums 
lineup with the Velvet Underground, especially since 
Reed doesn't even play electric guitar on the album; the 
sheer size of Berlin ultimately overpowers both Reed and 
his material. But if Berlin is largely a failure of 
ambition, that sets it apart from the vast majority of 
Reed's lesser works; Lou's vocals are both precise and 
impassioned, and though a few of the songs are little 
more than sketches, the best — "How Do You Think It 
Feels," "Oh, Jim," "The Kids," and "Sad Song" — are 
powerful, bitter stuff. It's hard not to be impressed by 
Berlin, given the sheer scope of the project, but while 
it earns an A for effort, the actual execution merits 
more of a B-.
