Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the immense critical acclaim of his earlier concept albums, Lou Reed delivered a highly polished glam rock effort that surprisingly became his highest-charting US release. 'Sally Can't Dance' is a fiercely misanthropic, wonderfully deadpan exploration of urban decay, utilizing heavily orchestrated pop-soul to mask deeply depressive, remarkably pessimistic tales of sexual hedonism.
