Transformer

Rolling Stone 4/5 For Transformer Reed wrote a bunch of clever new songs and tried to cash in on producer David Bowie’s trendily androgynous glam rock, which worked well enough to break “Walk on the Wild Side.”

All Music 4.5/5 The sound and style of Transformer would in many ways define Reed's career in the 1970s, and while it led him into a style that proved to be a dead end, you can't deny that Bowie and Ronson gave their hero a new lease on life -- and a solid album in the bargain.
