The Bells

by Lou Reed

The Bells cover art

Recorded during an intensely turbulent personal period, Lou Reed's 'The Bells' is a remarkably dense, highly experimental art-rock oddity. The album utilizes a muddy, almost impenetrable Wall of Sound production style to frame incredibly dark, deeply introspective, and heavily nihilistic reflections on urban despair and emotional collapse.
