New Sensations is the thirteenth solo album by Lou Reed.
When this album was released, critics and listeners alike took note of a change in the songs as being more upbeat and fun than much of Reed's prior work. Lou seemed to have abandoned the often self-destructive lifestyle of a New York rock star and retreated to the New Jersey suburbs.

If your father is free-basing and your mother turning tricks |

Nevertheless despite this "retreat" from the city, Lou still decried the lifestyle of suburban materialism.

Famous quotes containing the word sensations:
“Did men but consider that the sun, moon, and stars, and every other object of the senses, are only so many sensations in their minds, which have no other existence but barely being perceived, doubtless they would never fall down and worship their own ideas; but rather address their homage to that eternal invisible Mind which produces and sustains all things.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
