Ranked #109 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "A record that highlights the R&B/doo-wop roots and Sun Records crackle deep inside the Velvets' noir-guitar maelstrom...", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...a laudable album. 'Sweet Jane' and 'Rock & Roll' are the pivotal tracks but the lovely harmonies of 'I Found A Reason' and the extended workout of 'Oh! Sweet Nuthin'' stand proud as peak Velvets...", "...LOADED is merely a refinement of the Velvet Underground's music as it has grown through the course of their past three albums....it's a celebration of the spirit of rock 'n' roll..."

Lou Reed's swan song with VU--an album that brims with his most straightforward hooks and ebullient sentimentality.
