Claude says:Transformer landed in '72 as glam rock's art-school manifesto, Reed's voice deadpan over those gleaming, angular arrangements that somehow made decadence sound both seductive and exhausted — you've dipped back into it sparingly over the years, hitting the holy trinity of Perfect Day, Satellite of Love, and Walk on the Wild Side each once, but those three tracks alone carry the whole album's swagger and strange tenderness.
