I found it interesting the Velvets-disser's arguments were: 1) Andy Warhol didn't really produce it, 2) the sound quality is not audiophile-grade, 3) there is dissonance and atonality in the music, 4) inspired legions of black trenchcoat wearers.

Seems like half of these arguments are about "style" or "culture" or something that has nothing to do with "the record" itself (ie music.)

As for sound quality & dissonance -- those are the reasons why most people seem to like it!

But then avant-garde sounds are always polarizing (same with Beefheart -- most hate it, a few dig it) -- but that's a whole 'nuther discussion I spose.
