I don't think the experimental edge pushed aside the music, White Light/White Heat is a great tune and that riff in Sister Ray...

I'm not sure; I think that a stripped down sound would involve little more than a vocal and acoustic guitar...after all, Sister Ray has the organ and the distortion.
My problem with WL/WH is that there's some filler (Lady Godiva, Here She Comes Now) and it seems too self-consciously experimental. On the debut, everything sounded relatively natural. On WL/WH, it sounds like they were just trying to confuse people and piss them off.
