Product description

Legendary Hearts, the 1983 album from the inimitable Lou Reed, is a masterclass in eclectic soundscapes and unapologetic style. Released on 1 March 1983 via RCA Records Label, this 38-minute gem seamlessly blends the raw energy of proto-punk, the flamboyance of glam rock, and the experimental edge of art rock.

From the opening notes of the title track 'Legendary Hearts', it's clear that Reed is on a mission to push boundaries and defy expectations. With tracks like 'Don't Talk to Me About Work' and 'Make Up Mind', he showcases his ability to craft infectious, high-energy rock songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

The album's darker moments, such as 'Martial Law' and 'Betrayed', demonstrate Reed's willingness to confront the harsh realities of life, while 'Turn Out the Light' and 'Pow Wow' reveal a more introspective side to his songwriting. The haunting 'Bottoming Out' and the poignant 'Home of the Brave' further showcase his remarkable range, before the album closes with the enigmatic 'Rooftop Garden'.

Throughout Legendary Hearts, Lou Reed's distinctive voice and vision remain the constant, guiding force. The result is an album that is both a testament to his innovative spirit and a thrilling listen from start to finish.

This LP was released in 1983.

Lou Reed's Underappreciated Gem
5 out of 5 stars

I'm absolutely in love with this album, it's so underappreciated and stands as one of Lou Reed's best works, with the b-side being particularly outstanding. Plus, this Indianapolis pressing blows the Swedish one out of the water.

I'm absolutely in love with this album, it's criminally underappreciated and stands as one of Lou Reed's greatest works, particularly the flip side. Plus, this Indianapolis pressing blows the Swedish one out of the water.
