70s Reed on RCA

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 13, 2006

This collection draws on albums like Transformer, Sally Can't Dance, Berlin and Coney Island Baby and includes some of Reed's most memorable songs from the 1970s. Perfect Day is such an evocative, poetic classic, whilst Satellite Of Love is a masterpiece of yearning with a beautiful melody. Caroline Says and Sad Song are beautiful pieces of heartbreak from the bleak Berlin album, whilst Sweet Jane has lost none of its driving force. Kill Your Sons is a brooding, ominous number from Sally Can't Dance. Instead of the title track, Billy would have been a better choice in my opinion. Anther unfortunate omission is The Kids from Berlin. The music shows Reed at his most aggressive in the driving rock of Sweet Jane and at his most gentle in ballads like Perfect Day and Coney Island Baby. This collection is a great introduction to the genius of Lou Reed, following on from his beginnings in the Velvet Underground. A complete look at his work in the 1970s would of course have to take account of the Arista albums too. But Different Times is certainly a great collection and a good starting point for those wishing to investigate this poetic genius of rock. Reed is a true original.

A GREAT TKO SET OF LOU'S '70s RCA YEARS!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 19, 2001

Here is a new Lou Reed collection that definitely belongs in all fans collection of the man. Different Times: Lou Reed In The '70s is a great 17 song retrospective spanning all material from 6 of his 8 '70s RCA releases (nothing from Lou Reed Live & Metal Machine Music...That's a different story altogether). Only 5 tunes "Walk On The Wild Side", "Sweet Jane", "Coney Island Baby", "Sally Can't Dance" & "Satellite Of Love" are hold-overs from his previous Walk On The Wild Side: The Best Of Lou Reed/RCA. Great liner notes on Lou's '70s RCA days are included detailing the tunes included, some cool pix and a great black/red/white pix disc is really hot! All the material is digitally remastered and will Rock you out full blast in true '70s Lou style! If RCA would only now issue a counterpart second collection of Lou's '80s work say...Defintely Different Times: Lou Reed In The '80s...We'll all be cool.

Essential!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 24, 2000

While it would be tempting to give a Five Star rating to Arista's recent Definitive Collection, RCA's Different Times anthology earns it hands-down thanks to a great set that collects Lou's finest songs from his best period: the seventies. Don't get me wrong: albums like The Bells, Growing Up In Public and Street Hassle (from his Arista years)all contained great moments. As did his eighties RCA albums like The Blue Mask and New Sensations. But this collection has the songs that made him a critical darling: "Vicious", "Walk On The Wild Side", "I Can't Stand It", etc. And, thank heavens, it doesn't include ANYTHING from Metal Machine Music! A key seventies anthology which shows off Reed's genius with panache and reverence.

You can never have enough Lou.

This is a GREAT collection of Lou Reed songs. If you are new to Lou buy it if you have been a fan since the VU era this is a great collection to grab while driving in your car. What I love is the flow of the collection sometimes when you buy a collection it’s jagged it’s rough, not this one. I have everything Lou but you can never have enough Lou
