The Raven
by Lou Reed
Constructed as a sprawling, theatrical adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's literary works, the ambitious project bridges harsh rock dynamics with theatrical performance art. The dense arrangements interweave Reed's trademark distortion with dramatic spoken-word readings from several high-profile guest actors.
