Those songs you mentioned are from their first studio LP. This, 2nd LP is without Nico, but still with John Cale. The 3rd and 4th studio albums ("The Velvet Underground", "Loaded") are without him, replaced with Doug Yule, and in somewhat different feeling, less "avantgarde".
"The Last Great American Whale" from "NY" album is one of Lou Reed`s political songs...and I don`t like most of them too much. Sometimes he is brilliant, but sometimes pretentious and boring, IMO. He is a much better in 3 chords wonders like "Dirty Blvd" - and I remember this album for that fantastic G-D-A-D riff. 
Hey, John Cale has a few very good albums lately, "Hobosapiens" - for example.
