As a concept, the piece still suffers from its own flawed ambition. Whatever else it is, Berlin is not a rock opera, or any sort of opera, for that matter. Yes, there's a narrative - two drug-addled lovers take a lethal walk on the German capital's wild side - but the structure supporting it is so loose and the songs so arbitrarily connected that calling it an opera is nothing more than a fanciful affectation.

Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "'Men of Good Fortune' gains severity: Guitarist Steve Hunter embodies privilege with flashy heroics, and Reed represents unskilled labor via blunt six-string bursts.", "His vocal now sanded to a rough edged spoken growl, it is Reed's guitar that is the dominant sound here, an unashamed, animalistic electric rock howl that he turns on (and up) at every opportunity.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Reed's delivery carries a sort of weathered tenderness and the closing 'Sad Song' seems more genuinely redemptive now."
Additional InformationAn exceptional 2006 performance which saw Reed accompanied by a seven-piece orchestra, a sterling rhythm section, and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.
