Reed discusses the reissue of his “Berlin” album.

In 1973, Lou Reed released his third solo album, Berlin. It was a commercial and critical dud — one critic called it “the most depressing album of all time.” But in 2006, after much prodding from friends, Reed revisited the moody concept record, recruiting artist-director Julian Schnabel for a multimedia performance in Brooklyn. Now, after taking the show around the world, Reed is putting the album to rest again. “If you didn’t see it then, you won’t see it,” he says. “But the DVD is really good.” It’s out now.
