	The Raven: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		In his liner notes to the album The Raven, Reed touches on the parallels between their work when he writes, "I have reread and rewritten Poe to ask the same questions again.
		The pitch of the acting is sometimes a bit sharp (especially Dafoe, who seems to be projecting to the last row of the balcony), but the con brio performances certainly suit the tenor of the material and Poe's writing style.
		Musically, The Raven is all over the map, leaping from low-key acoustic pieces to full-bore, window-rattling rock and roll, with a number of stops along the way.

	Review \| The Raven by Lou Reed
		Like those stellar figures, Reed has not been the best or the most popular, and he certainly isn't the most consistent, but his contributions to his medium are so singular and influential that the story of rock music simply cannot be told without him.
		A truly stunning chunk of the sound, style, and concerns of the avant-garde have been forged from the four albums he concocted with the Velvet Underground.
		It would be reasonable to expect an album full of spook and shadows since it's coming from and about two men who made their careers out of such things, but instead, the tone is largely bright and slick.

	The Raven - Lou Reed - Song Listings
		Edgar Allan Poe was a man who usually looked on the dark side of life, had more than a few less-than-healthy romantic and sexual obsessions, was known to dabble in dangerous drugs, and was fascinated with the possibilities of the English language, so it's no wonder why Lou Reed regards Poe as a kindred spirit.
		The pitch of the acting is sometimes a bit sharp (especially Dafoe, who seems to be projecting to the last row of the balcony), but the con brio performances certainly suit the tenor of the material and Poe's writing style.
		Musically, The Raven is all over the map, leaping from low-key acoustic pieces to full-bore, window-rattling rock & roll, with a number of stops along the way.

	CD Baby: YOUNG RAVEN: Shine
		This album is definitely for the choosey listener interested in a sound and craft that alludes most of the stuff you can buy off the shelf these days.
		Raven laces most of the tracks with his own rhymes, even though he is a self-proclaimed "producer before emcee." On "Keep On," Raven describes his style like "a musical Anne Rice: sensual, moody, dark, exotic/take my time with the beats, till they playin' nice.
		While this album isn't the ideal choice for the fan looking for extraordinary lyrical agility, if you want to listen to some musically-inspiring, head-bangin' tracks that move beyond flippin' ki's, pimpin' hos and rockin' ice -- this one's for you.

	Rebecca Pidgeon - The Raven, The New York Girls Club and Four Marys Albums Review at Musical Discoveries
		The album's thirteen tracks span lighter singing styles that illustrate both Rebecca's vocal range and textures she uses to evoke different emotions.
		The album is the most accessible of her three releases to date and is likely to please a broad range of audiences.
		The album's more upbeat and rocky numbers are carried by Rebecca's vocals with acoustic guitar and keyboards underscoring the melodies.

	Raven by Lou Reed CD
		Lou Reed's THE RAVEN is based on and inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name.
		I own nearly every lou reed album ever made, and I love laurie anderson, but this particular album is a bit more like Nico's solo career - very interesting yet a bit difficult to listen to.
		Raven doesn't seem to have the heart of "magic and loss" or the grit of "ecstasy" or the NYC man attitude of "new york" or "set the twilight reeling" - however, it adds an entirely new dimension to his work.

	Quoth the Raven
		I didn't mind, though, and I suspect our advisor was very pleased at the efficiency of graduating two of her students on the same day, and--as it turns out--even in the same room, when my larger room got pre-empted by a workshop.
		So the ongoing question of whether Raven or Jill would graduate first finally came down to "Raven", but as it was only 4 hours, I consider that the same for all practical purposes.
		Raven I won't bring home any more cats or dogs until we move to a bigger place, I'll be keeping that end of my bargain as well.

	Yale Daily News - Poe-inspired Reed album a nightmare
		The Raven, which originated from a theatrical project commissioned by the Thalia Theatre in Germany, features songs both based on and inspired by Poe's classic writings.
		Towards the end of the album's 21 tracks, the strength of Reed's compositions begins to overcome the album's deficiencies.
		But The Raven's occasional strengths cannot hide the fact that the album is deeply flawed both musically and conceptually.

		The Raven is seemingly an afterthought of Reed's 2000 POEtry project - it takes a while to get used to, but if you know Lou Reed that will come as no shock.
		The great thing about The Raven is that it broods in the way that Marilyn Manson has been threatening to do for so long now and we're all bored of waiting for.
		The Raven shines most brightly though where Lou is left to his own devices.

	Amazon.com: The Raven: Music: Lou Reed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Raven was born following a spoken-word performance of Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" during which Reed "came to understand it in a way I never had before." Accordingly, The Raven may strike Reed's longtime fans in a way the artist never has before.
		Nonetheless, THE RAVEN is very much an experimental album, and with the possible exception of 1990's SONGS FOR DRELLA, his most varied album.
		what brings this album down is lou reed's pretentious persona, for i am sure that had this been a spoken album with the added good songs, it would have been beautiful.

		He is greatly aided on "The Raven" by an all-star cast that includes such musical luminaries as David Bowie, modern jazz pioneer Ornette Coleman, gospel-music greats the Blind Boys of Alabama, and Reed's paramour, Laurie Anderson.
		It's a labor of love for Reed, whose now-legendary exploits with pioneering New York rock band the Velvet Underground in the 1960s laid the foundation for the prolific solo career he launched in 1972 – and a generation or two of punk and post-punk bands.
		The songs and spoken-word pieces on "The Raven" are in the same sequential order as in the stage version, but have been revamped.

	Lou Reed, State Theatre - smh.com.au
		The performance ran the gamut of this output, and fell on both sides of the genius/schmuck divide.
		This band combined the considerable talents of Saunders, guitarist Mike Rathke (often playing synthesised piano), cellist Jane Scarpantoni (who was angelic on Vanishing Act, then produced a scarifying solo on Venus in Furs) and the mono-monikered Anthony, who contributed strikingly ethereal vocals.
		For three pieces (including All Tomorrow's Parties and The Raven) they were joined by Reed's Tai Chi master, Ren Guang-Yi, whose moves became a ballet against the swirling music.

	SPACE.com -- Lou Reed's 'The Raven' CD
		Released on Sire/Reprise 48372-2, the album is a remarkable synthesis of orchestrally tinged rock and roll, punk, spoken word, and electronica.
		As Reed writes in the CD notes, he grew up enamored by the macabre short thrillers authored by Poe, and lunged at the opportunity when it came to bring Poe and his stories to life through words and music, text and dance.
		Reeds dark fusion of ambience, rock, and introspective spoken songs fit the fl-and-white tonality of Poes sobering prose, and the album is filled with dark patterns, shadowed textures, and somber images.

	Rolling Stone : Reed Taps Bowie for "Raven"
		Lou Reed will release his new album, The Raven, on January 28th, on Sire/Reprise.
		The ambitious collection features Reed's musical interpretations of the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe (including actor Willem Dafoe's reading of the classic poem which serves as the title track) in addition to his own original Poe-inspired lyrics.
		The Raven -- which will be released in a full two-CD format, as well as a shorter, more music-centric version -- is the singer-songwriter's latest investigation into the work of the nineteenth century poet.

	On Point : Lou Reed on Poe - 6/6/2003
		Once you think of it, it takes about half a second to feel the link between the legendary Lou Reed and the dark American master poet Edgar Allan Poe.
		And you've got the terrain of Lou Reed and Poe in Reed's new album "The Raven."
		Lou Reed made a giant mark for himself in the rock world first as the leader of groundbreaking group "The Velvet Underground," and later as a solo performer without bounds, rolling grandly, darkly, gaily into themes of drug use, kinky sex, transvestites, and suicidal depression.

		I don't put the album on a lot, it's not that kind of album; but when I do put it on I fall under its soft spell and I'm glad I bought it.
		This is not an album by one more Hollywood actress fulfilling a fantasy to be a singer--this is a collection of very nicely written and performed songs by someone who could easily have built a solo career in the music business.
		The folky stuff, like this album, is where Pidgeon is the most at home, I think.

	Winnebago Deal - Flight Of The Raven : album review
		Flight Of The Raven is their second full-length album, released on renowned indie label Fierce Panda.
		Opener With Friends Like These sets the tone for an album of stoner-influenced, punk-paced drinking tunes that will never make it to radio but, thanks to the boys' commitment to relentless touring, should still be coming to a town near you.
		Future single Spider Bite starts with a muted, rolling riff that is unleashed into a thrashing tub-thumping rock number, complete with Hellacopters piano lick in the mid-section and the gruffest vocals you will hear on a song about spiders, ever.

		But then comes "The Raven," opening with an intense musical interlude that builds on the taiji, and vice versa.
		If you're a Lou Reed fan and a martial artist, you're especially lucky to catch this tour, which is both affirming towards life and rock 'n roll.
		His new album THE RAVEN is a powerful homage to Edgar Allen Poe that fast-forwards him to the streets of the dawning twenty-first century, weaving a rock 'n roll gothic with gritty Lou Reed verity of passion, irony, anger and sweetness.

		Only a Lou-lou could love this concept album with a hole in the middle, by which I mean the theater piece that supposedly held all the new songs, old songs, new instrumentals, poetry readings, and cameo turns together.
		But though it's less than the sum of its parts, the parts are pretty arresting--Antony's castrato version of "Perfect Day," for instance, is a terrible idea in theory that ends up beating the original.
