(More customer reviews)Now, allow me first to note that I am the sort of Lou Reed fan that dismisses "Transformer" as mildly fun but little more than ear candy and considers "Berlin" to be his greatest work ever. Having said that, I also would like to note that Reed's latest release, "Ecstasy," which was released today (4/4/00) is without a doubt his best since the highly underrated "New York," and very possibly since "Berlin." Some critics are likening it to "Magic and Loss," which I can understand, but this is a much more mature and well structured record than "Magic and Loss" - it stays with you longer, it speaks more clearly and much louder in it's message(s), it's the sort of record that revives an existing Lou Reed fan's love for the man or begins a brand new love affair between Reed and the listener who has yet to know the glory that is Lou Reed. I'm listening to the title track for the seventeenth time today as I type this, and for good reason - this record is fabulous.
