Lou Reed
Set the Twilight Reeling
First Appeared in The Music Box,
June 1996, Volume 3, #4
Written by John Metzger
Set the Twilight Reeling is Lou Reed's strongest effort since New York,
and although it sonically mines a similar vein, it's not quite as conceptual in
nature. Among the highlights is NYC Man, which, replete with
literary references, relays the tale of a battered and bruised relationship as only
Reed can
tell it. Trade In is another pretty tune, and it features one of
Reed's best vocal performances to date. Elsewhere, Hang on to Your Emotions encompasses what
a collaboration between Reed and Jefferson Airplane's Jorma Kaukonen might sound
like, while the title track provides the perfect
ending to this album, filling the shoes that Two Suns in the Sunset held on Pink Floyd's
The Final Cut. 
Set the Twilight Reeling is available from Amazon.com.
