Country Life

It was ok

Prob my favorite Roxy album. I think I said this when the last one came through, but I think they do 'strange' so well. I'm sure it's an act, like caring a lot about looking like you don't care. But at the end of the day, Roxy are expert tight rope walkers. Quirky yet authentic. As a yank, I their international-ness plays a big part. 4.5

Many years ago, I bought this album on CD knowing extremely little about Roxy Music. I had been on a Brian Eno kick and knew that he got his start with this band. I'd also heard that this was their best album. So it was a little disappointing to realize that Eno had already departed by this time (evidently so bored that he was daydreaming about doing laundry while on stage). In retrospect, it seems to have been for the best for everyone. Even after seeking out the earlier stuff, I have to agree that this is the band's best. It's not necessarily revolutionary, just a solid album without a single bad track. It's not quick art rock, not quite glam but it feels very early 70s. It's vaguely spacey and Krautrock inspired (apparently one of the models on the riskee cover was the sister of a member of Can). There are better rock albums out there, and better experimental albums too. But that's fine. There's still a lot to love here.

Yeah whatever, provocative cover art I guess.

Why did this album get much better halfway through? Anyway, I never thought Synth and Harmonica could go together so well. Favorite Track: Bitter Sweet

Wonky strutting

An album so incredibly mediocre that it's almost noteworthy again. There's a range of styles so some songs should manage to stand out...and yet. Cool guitar solos on Out Of The Blue and Prairie Rose, though.

Potentially worth another listen. Generally an enjoyable album. The album art was annoying at work, so I'm going to hold off on a relisten/deeper dive.

It wasn’t until I put this on immediately after Bowie that I realized how much like Bowie this sounds. Or are all these albums just starting to blur together? Whatever, it’s highly enjoyable!

#523. Fine, but not particularly exciting. 3/5: acceptable.

3.8

fine. not inspiring. Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic autoplayed after this and that's enough to downgrade a point.

Another good one from these guys, but either I was a bit too generous the first time, or there’s a bit of a diminishing return the more I hear. This is a big time rounding down, mostly to offset the first 5⭐️ I did, which probably should have been a 4, but also because I thought that circusy sounding song sucked big time.

Pretty good. Just barely four stars. They caught me in a generous mood. YOU OWE ME, ROXY MUSIC.

I need to be better about checking out Roxy Music, so many musicians I love were in that band. This is the non-Eno lineup I believe, but they still had Phil Manzanera. Definitely revisiting.

I had never really given Roxy Music a shot. Maybe I should listen to more, because this was really great. This sent me down a rabbit hole about Bryan Ferry and he doesn’t seem like the best guy. I loved the music, though. It’s hard to keep track of all this.

ahhoz képest, amire a borító alapján számítottam, mindenképpen egy masterpiece. :D de tényleg, a three and nine meg a triptych el is lett mentve rögtön, nagyon érdekes album ez!

I think I like it but it's also sort of over the top and ridiculous.

All over the place in terms of genre and theme, small flashes of brilliance here and there but mostly just fine songs performed adequately

I would be amazed to learn that Nick caves singing style was not heavily influenced by Brian Ferry. The album, I find is meandering, never really landing anywhere interesting for me 2.5*

Love the album cover. The music was just okay.

3.3 2-3x catch up listened to this several days but rated on 4/30. unique album

2nd half of album got weird, wish the whole thing was like that.

1/6

Great cover.

Good

Great tits, great music.

Wat een album! Eigenlijk ben ik altijd een Roxy Music fan geweest zonder dat ik het wist. Dit is gewoon Talking Heads, maar iets anders. 4.2

At least we have the titties.

Ummmm....no.

I thought it was gonna be better

Not what I was expecting and I actually quite enjoyed this. Very easy to listen to with a nice variety, with almost everything being chucked at some of the tracks. I love the vocal style. It's somewhere between 3 and 4 stars I felt, but I'm marking it up, as I did go back and listen to half of it again.

You never know quite what you’re gonna get with a Roxy Music album. This one is a bit up and down, but still worth it. Would listen again.

Art rock before art rock, new romantic before the new romantics, Roxy Music clearly wanted to push new ground and, with a wide range of pretention and musical chops, they're clearly throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks! It's not the most cohesive album, considering how the genre subtly changes every track, but somehow the overblown feel of it all works out - a lot of fun, honestly, and not an album I would have picked up otherwise.

Not bad but not something I could listen to for long

Bryan Ferry sounds good on the first track!?! sort of like a knockoff bowie sound on this record. Bitter Sweet is where this album hits a brick wall. Why oh lord is there a sousaphone here? The whole thing is pretty tolerable otherwise.

I try but apart from very early Roxy I just don’t like, not sure why I don’t!

3.9

Prairie Rose and titties

I mean i would listen to it again i guess

Pretty solid, surprised I rated the last one so low

Damn, somehow I made it into my early forties before listening to this album. It's right up my alley - energetic, experimenting with stylistic differences between tracks while remaining recognizably coherent as the same band. The production is excellent. Some albums I can't finish before I react to them. This album got added to my Tidal library after four tracks. Album and listener were perfectly matched today.

Surprisingly enjoyed this! 2.7

Rock, nothing too notable

Don’t love this record, but I get it. 3/5

Lukewarm pop rock. Noisy, uncontrolled, uninventive.

Enjoyed this

Hmmmm

I couldn’t finish the album I think that speaks for itself

There's some good ones on here, but also some very meh ones. 3/5

Good glam rock album. Reminds me of David Bowie which makes sense as he was also making similar music at this time.

7/10. There is something about Roxy Music that just doesn't hit me the same way that other 1970's rock bands do, and I don't know what it is, nor do I know why. I feel the same way about Brian Eno's solo work. I love similar artists to both of them, but I just don't get Roxy Music and Brian Eno.

Bryan Ferry must have been one persuasive mother fucker not only getting those ladies to do the photo shoot but also to "help" him with the words to the song "Bitter-Sweet". I can imagine the number of people that bought this because of the album cover alone, only to be disappointed if they listened to it 1001 also managing to sneak yet more Brian fucking Eno onto this list Brian vs Bryan - I vs Y, in fact I don't care, I'm going to look at the album cover again

Very Bowie-esque, very listenable

nothing entirely remarkable about this album, some moments were nice, but this just felt like background filler/grocery store mall music. Not gonna return probably

Meh. Triptych was the most enjoyable

+1 Stern für Album Cover +1 Stern für coolen Sound +1 Stern für coolen Gesang +1 für generelles Gefühl beim Album. Hat sich gut angefühlt 4 Sterne

Naja, war ok.

I have always been a pretty hardcore fan of Roxy Music. Didn't happen to have this album so was looking forward to it. Not sure I missed much to be honest. Maybe I am just in a funk or IDK? But for some reason I just was like "normal" with it, as a fan, sure it is listenable. But as a way to introduce the band to the unknown masses? Probably not. It is good for a fan, OK for an unfamiliar listener, and won't work for someone unsure of the genre or style in the first place. I will stop short of saying I was disappointed, but won't put in on my favorites list either.

Opening track was super strong, but didn't quite keep up the momentum.

Dieses Album ist damals (trotz des Covers) an mir vorbeigegangen. Leider kann ich jetzt nur sagen. Aber lieber spät als nie. Großartig.

2.5

Overall: 7/10 Boobies! Pretty decent music too. It took a while for me to get used to the vocals but I enjoyed the second half of the album a lot. Not sure how often I'll listen to these guys but this way enjoyable. Fav Song: Bitter Sweet Least Fav Song: Triptych

Similar to another Roxy Music album I’ve had here, I enjoyed the style of music but felt it was easy to tune out. Great background music, nice production. 3.25/5

One of the weaker Roxy Music albums

No way, I randomly went thru Roxy’s stuff last week and think this was my favorite when I listened through. After relistening, this is easily my favorite. My favorite songs of theirs are on other albums but none of those other albums are as consistent to me. I'm pretty ambivalent about most of the tracks however. I would say they are definitely passed the border of enjoyment, but none really creep into love territory to me. Rating: 4.6

Some weird songs, but not as many as on For Your Pleasure.

Bleh

Love!! Not usually the Roxy album I go for so it was great to revisit!

Not bad but not as good as some of their other albums.

A little goofy but genuinely fun. I would have no objections to listening to this album again.

I liked the sax and the bass at the end of Out of the Blue. In fact, the sax player saves the rating. Because I didn't like the songs on this album. I mean, there's nothing to grab me, they are just songs. They just exist.

Very rude cover but the songs were generally good.

3 5 for the Cover.

Eeesh, what a run of tripe the last three days have been. I just about got to a two with this, on the 'not actively horrible' system. But honestly, it's the most self-satisfied, smug affair you could wish to find. The last song offers some redemption.

Great

I'd like Roxy Music more if Ferry had a voice transplant. I've learned through this project that I'm really fussy about voices, and this is one that really grates on me. Roxy have a song here and there that works, when they go all eerie because Ferry's voice suits eerie, but doesn't suit much else. I found this hard work to get though.

I was a little disappointed in this album. I really like Roxy Music, but this early album did not have that feel of the latter albums.

Just ok.

Country Life by Roxy Music is a bit different to their more recent albums but still a great blend of glam rock and art rock, showing the band's sophisticated sound and Bryan Ferry's charismatic, crooning vocals. The album is bold, atmospheric, and richly textured, with best tracks like "The Thrill of It All" and "Out of the Blue." A must-listen for fans Mr Ferry and the gangs recent stuff, and where it all started.

A lot going on but still enjoyable.

Cool! Nog een keer goed luisteren

This album was made in 1974? Jesus this album feel incredibly ahead of its time. It wouldn't sound out of place in the 80's I wouldn't think on some songs. Always meant to listen to it, just never got around to it. Really good stuff, especially the lead song The Thrill of It All. Edit: Went back to it and relistened, and it's just not hitting me like I remembered? Dunno what it is. Feels weird to go back and downgrade an album that I said I liked previously, but yeah. Also relistened to Roxy Music, but that's at the correct rating already at 2.

This was a different and enjoyable listen. I was not familiar with this band. Not quite enough to round up here but better that your run of the mill 3. 3.5/5

With Avalon and Siren being my favorite RM albums, this one is not far off. A very cool listen with a lot of stylistic stuff going which at the time was pushing the envelope in the glam/rock world for sure. And how can you not love the iconic album cover.

So are those chics in the band or….? Anyways, this was ok, prob just not really for me. Honestly the fist song felt like it went on forever, and by then I was kinda switched off.

The first song sounded like everyone was playing something different and didn’t really care what everyone else in the band was doing. This really didn’t do much for me. The album cover was nice. Although the girl on the right looks a lil mannish. 2.5 but I’m rounding down because that’s how I’m feeling today.

The perfect album cover doesn’t exi… OH. Enjoyed this quite a bit. Need to give another listen but solid on my first time through. Was nervous cuz Brian Eno ain’t my bag. Then realized he already left RM by this point. Yay! 3.75/5

So this is my second Roxy Music album I’ve gotten. The first one was their debut, conveniently titled Roxy Music. I remember really enjoying that album, as it felt unique and ahead of its time. I felt the same way about this album. But for some reason, I wasn’t into this one as much as the debut. It’s still pretty good, don’t get me wrong. Prairie Rose and The Thrill Of It All are bangers. And the variety displayed here is impressive. No two tracks really sound alike. But these tracks didn’t really stick with me as I thought they would. They mostly get a “that’s neat” from me. Though that might be for the best considering the album cover. I don’t think I want to listen to something and have that image on my phone for anyone in a 3-foot radius of me to see. Favorite track: Prairie Rose Other hits: The Thrill Of It All, All I Want Is You, Out of the Blue, Casanova

Album cover was the best part of the album

They're like Gammon... I would never choose it, but when I do it's nice...

I like their disco era better

This exceeded my subterranean expectations but still not worth returning to. 2.5/5

One of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands.

Viel besser als ich erwartet habe. Nicht zu langatmig, oder eintönig, coole 80er Rocksongs, aber ein Stern abzug fürs grässliche Cover.

i feel like half the time i repeat myself so much when it comes to these classic rock albums but really what more needs to be said? i love classic rock, i love british classic rock. i love glam rock. there's just something about these tracks, so rebellious and so refined... there's just a certain finesse and groove to a large majority of these songs i get entranced with. very good stuff.

An attractive album, a bit glam, a bit experimentative. I really enjoyed it, both the style, instrumentals, however the big problem of it is it's totally unmemorable. It's a good experience, but I worry that it's missing that something. With time I grew to really love the vocals, the delivery. Not the strongest 5/5, far from it, not a masterpiece, but I just really like blasting this album in the background.

This is a brilliant album, a genuine 5/5, and one I absolutely wasn’t expecting to give. It’s the first time I’ve properly listened to a full Roxy Music album, and I was hooked. As soon as it finished, I went straight into Avalon and then followed it up with For Your Pleasure. That says everything. There’s something incredibly confident about Country Life. It balances art rock experimentation with sharp, melodic songwriting. You can hear how influential it’s been, from the dramatic poise of Morrissey to the darker romanticism of Nick Cave. The glamour, the moodiness, the slightly detached cool, it’s all here. I loved Prairie Rose, A Really Good Time, All I Want Is You, and Out of the Blue. There are so many strong tracks that the album never dips. It feels cohesive but never dull, stylish without being shallow. Favourite track: Out of the Blue, brilliant from start to finish. The driving bassline carries it, and the instrumental break in the middle is superb Least favourite track: Bitter-Sweet, this one didn’t quite click and felt more like atmosphere than a song Album artwork: Lovely, bold, provocative, and instantly iconic, perfectly matching the album’s confident and slightly decadent feel

1/8/25. First time hearing Roxy Music, some catchy tunes in here. Also a plus for the album cover! Very 70s glam rock like.

This was a fun listen. Can’t believe I’d never taken The time to check this band out.

Roxy is one of those groups with a rabid fan base and I just don’t get it.

Not their best, but pretty good.

It's alright.

Οχι ιδιαιτερα ευπεπτη μουσικη αλλα απιστευτες πραγματικα παραγωγες. Συνεχεια εναλλαγες και γενικα γινονταν πολλα πραγματα ταυτοχρονα σε ενα κομματι χωρις να ακουγεται σαν ενα mess. Επειδη πιστευω θα βελτιωθει με each listen βαζω ηδη 4 , ενω κανονικα θα βαζα 3.

I dug this more than I expected and think a lot of it is due to the instrumental work being pretty full in the background. I think I'll come back to this one for more listens. It may have just caught me on a good day but I dig what I'm hearing more than their last album I heard.

Why? Again? I feel like I've listened to 200 albums that sound like this during this journey. This is a fine album. Track wise it doesn't really feel too repetitive. I don't care for the vocals for the most part. Decent harmonica playing. The saxophone is annoying. I'm feeling grumpy. This might be better but I'm not in the mood to keep trying to process it.

It started really good, then it went slightly worse but it's still a decent album.

Nothing wrong with the music but it's a huge letdown after the cover.

Uno de los trabajos más influyentes de los '70s, la elegancia y picardía de Roxy Music destaca en el cuarto trabajo de los británicos, quienes venían renovando la forma de producir (gracias a las brillantes maquinaciones de Eno), desde hace ya algunos años. Country Life no tiene nada que envidiarle a otros grandes de la alternativa, como Low de David Bowie o cualquier disco de Can. Por favor, escúchelo. PD: Buen trabajo, pero no tan bueno como el debut de la banda.

The music is pretty fun but it's very 70s hipsters with Bela Lugosi singing

I was into it at first but then they lost me towards the end of the album. Then I was just ready for it to be over.

## In-Depth Review of *Country Life* by Roxy Music Roxy Music's *Country Life*, released in 1974, marks a significant point in the band's evolution, showcasing their unique blend of art rock, glam, and pop sensibilities. This album stands out not only for its musical innovation but also for its lyrical depth, production quality, thematic exploration, and cultural influence. Below is a comprehensive analysis of these aspects, along with a discussion of the album's pros and cons. ### Lyrics ****Exploration of Themes**** The lyrics of *Country Life* are characterized by Bryan Ferry's sophisticated wordplay and thematic diversity. The album often explores themes of love, desire, and the complexities of human relationships. Songs like “The Thrill of It All” and “All I Want Is You” delve into romantic longing and emotional intensity, while “Casanova” presents a more cynical view on love and attraction. Ferry's lyrics frequently juxtapose romantic imagery with darker undertones, as seen in lines from “Casanova,” where he provocatively mentions drug use alongside flirtation. This duality reflects the glam rock ethos of the time, blending allure with an underlying sense of danger. The song “Triptych” further showcases Ferry's lyrical prowess with its madrigal-like structure, evoking a sense of nostalgia and reflection. ****Narrative Style**** Ferry employs a narrative style that invites listeners to interpret the songs on multiple levels. For instance, in “Out of the Blue,” the lyrics oscillate between a sense of euphoria and existential contemplation. The phrase “If you ever change your mind / I’ve a certain cure” suggests both romantic hope and an acknowledgment of fleeting moments. ### Music ****Musical Composition**** Musically, *Country Life* is a rich tapestry that incorporates various genres including rock, funk, blues, and even elements reminiscent of country music. The album opens with “The Thrill of It All,” which features a powerful bassline and dynamic instrumentation that sets an energetic tone. Phil Manzanera’s guitar work throughout the album is particularly noteworthy; his solos are both expressive and technically proficient. Tracks like “Out of the Blue” highlight Roxy Music's ability to blend melodic hooks with avant-garde soundscapes. The song transitions from a gentle introduction to an explosive climax, showcasing the band's knack for dramatic contrasts within their compositions. ****Production Quality**** Produced by John Punter at George Martin’s AIR Studios, the production quality on *Country Life* is exceptional. Punter’s approach adds clarity and depth to the sound, allowing each instrument to shine while maintaining cohesion across tracks. The use of flanging and echo effects enhances the psychedelic elements present in songs like “Bitter Sweet,” creating an immersive listening experience. ### Themes Thematically, *Country Life* encapsulates a range of ideas reflective of the early 1970s cultural landscape. The album’s title itself references the British magazine known for its portrayal of rural life, contrasting with the urban sophistication embodied by Roxy Music. This duality is mirrored in the music and lyrics—there’s an exploration of both high society and more grounded experiences. ****Cultural Commentary**** Ferry’s lyrics often serve as social commentary on fame and desire. In tracks like “Casanova,” he critiques superficial relationships while simultaneously embracing their allure. This tension between aspiration and reality resonates throughout the album, making it relevant not just as music but as a reflection of societal attitudes during that era. ### Influence *Country Life* had a significant impact on both contemporary music and subsequent generations of artists. Its blend of styles influenced genres such as new wave and post-punk, with bands like Duran Duran citing Roxy Music as a key inspiration. The album's artistic approach paved the way for future explorations in glam rock and art pop. Moreover, *Country Life* has been recognized for its bold aesthetic choices—both musically and visually. The controversial cover art featuring scantily clad models sparked discussions about sexuality in music marketing, further solidifying Roxy Music's position as provocateurs in the industry. ### Pros and Cons #### Pros - **Diverse Musical Styles**: The album showcases a wide range of musical influences—from glam rock to funk—demonstrating Roxy Music's versatility. - **Lyrical Depth**: Bryan Ferry's lyrics are sophisticated and thought-provoking, offering listeners multiple layers to explore. - **Production Quality**: John Punter’s production enhances the overall sound quality, making it one of Roxy Music’s most polished albums. - **Cultural Impact**: The album has left a lasting legacy on various music genres and continues to influence artists today. #### Cons - **Uneven Track Quality**: Some critics note that certain tracks do not reach the same heights as others; for example, songs like “If It Takes All Night” have been described as less engaging. - **Accessibility**: While innovative, some listeners may find the experimental nature of certain tracks challenging or off-putting. - **Initial Controversy**: The provocative cover art may overshadow the music for some audiences, leading to misinterpretations about the album’s content. ### Conclusion Roxy Music's *Country Life* stands as a landmark achievement within their discography and within 1970s rock music at large. Its intricate blend of lyrical sophistication, musical innovation, high production values, thematic richness, and cultural significance makes it an enduring classic. While it may have its uneven moments, the highs far outweigh any shortcomings, solidifying its place in music history as both an artistic triumph and a reflection of its time.

Not bad

This album would’ve been forgotten without the titties

Pretty solid! Reminded me of bowie.

Awesome

This is decent! Couple of odd tracks - but generally fun. Also boobs.

meh

Ca ne me touche pas plus que ça. C’est globalement sympathique, mais rien ne se démarque pour moi. Franz Ferdinand a définitivement écouté ça (sur “Casanova” c’est assez frappant). Donc je mets un petit 3. Je ne vois pas le côté glam et sexy de l’affaire (à part peut être la couverture), ça a été largement dépassé par ses successeurs selon moi, c’est un peu trop daté et ça passe sans trop laisser de souvenirs.

4/5

не запомнился, НО в их стиле узнала некоторые песни с прошлого альбома! теперь могу узнавать Рокси Мьюзик! очень хорни обложки

This has some decent prog rock moments but also a ridiculous song about Texas. It's a fine album I guess, but it's not a great sign when the most memorable thing about an album isn't the music.

si si

Hate it, great album cover, very stereotypical nothing catches my ear about it

Unevenly brilliant; sound feels too full in parts. 4

I was quite happy when this one came to an end. Just couldn't get into it. Mostly came across as discordant, jarring noise with barely discernable lyrics. One extra star for the totty on the cover, bringing it to two stars.

I liked this a lot. Writing this a day later though I can't remember any standout moments so I'd have to listen to it again.

I sure do love Roxy. This one is far from my favourite though, cans aside. Interestingly the models are Michael Karoli of Can's girlfriend and sister. Off to listen to Can instead.

4 out of 5. This beats For Your Pleasure by a long mile, with only a slight dip somewhere in the middle.

Musikken er lidt en stenet at komme igennem.. Tror faktisk kun albummet er med på listen fordi coveret er minimalt labert?

Det var ikke helt hvad jeg havde forventet. Det var faktisk lidt bedre. Dog ikke noget jeg kommer til at genbesøge.

Something here that reminds me of one of my favorite bands, so it's not hard to hear some of the inspiration they had. Also a lot of fun.

Bra men ikke så mye mer å si

I dont know how this album is on this list, might be that the sometimes coked up always horrible singer turned me off but the album was just not worth trying to listen to, didnt grab me in any way, only memorable moment was the harmonica solo in if it takes all night if thats even the right song idk. Harmonica was pretty turnt, made me bob my head and say ohhhh yuuurmp, and the gitar and music in general was pretty good all throughout, but why would i ever listen to this album when i could listen to Dirt instead

Veldig overfladisk, mange ideer som er gjort av bedre artister før og siden. Prøver ikke noe særlig, litt for lett pop.

Country Life is the fourth Roxy Music album, which was the work that brought them fame in the US. The album is regarded as more consistent and refined than their earlier albums; the album's polished feel seems appropriate for the band's focus on art rock. The cover art features two models in translucent lingerie; the controversy around the artwork may have added to the notoriety of the album. The album includes "All I Want is You," which was one of the band's most successful singles. Singer Bryan Ferry's seductive tenor is the most notable feature of Roxy Music; his crooning is part of the stylish, effortlessly cool persona that is at the center of Roxy Music's presentation of art rock.

I definitely hear how this influenced other artists. New wave and New Romantics especially, along with Glam artists as well.

Previously rated: Roxy Music (4/5) For Your Pleasure (2/5) ************************** Looks like this one's falling somewhere in between the first two. Nice album cover, some good music (bass especially), and a pretty good variety. Still don't love the singer's voice or style much.

The Thrill Of It All // Three And Nine // Out Of The Blue // A Really Good Time //

Meh

It was an interesting album. I know Avalon as a child of the 80s but have never really listened to 70s Roxy Music and found it interesting enough to want to explore the first 5 albums. Will definitely listen to more Roxy Music. Its an upper 3 so I will give it a 4

It’s not bad! But without Eno’s deft touch it’s missing something.

Not my kind of music, still sounds ok

Fav song: A Really Good Time Kinda weird, kinda cheesy in that super early Bowie way - just no where near as good. Still, it wasn't BAD, just not very good!

Wow, I have never heard of Roxy Music, but they surprised me. Solid, super solid. Certainly ahead of their time.

Pretty good. Would listen again. Songs seem to have held up over the years

if one piece is peak, the other is mid. Good album, even great at times, but it falls short of the god tier glam rock album I took this for in passing.

Pretty forgettable, doubt I'll ever listen to this album again

If you 2 scantily clad women on my album cover then your music better be hot, sexy, and horny af.... and this wasnt but it's okay

sehr sehr interessant, sollt ich mir mehr anhören

3.9 - I enjoyed as much as the other albums, but thats 3 now

Totally unwarranted. Don't you dare give me another Roxy Music album. 2.3/5

I am absolutely floored by this album. Been a long Eno, Bowie, and Talking Heads fan but never got into Roxy. Now I am into it for sure

All sounded exactly the same but lowkey loved it

Brilliant!!

Prima, net de docu over Eno gezien maar zit die hier niet bij.

Wonderful surprise, the adjective that comes to mind is "refined", specially for "Out of the Blue".

put some clothes on - pretty alright music but nothing bonkers

Only got about 2/3 of the way through. I can see how this album was influential on the New Wave movement, but overall was just fine for me. No standouts

Never heard this but excellent. Loved the opening track.

I was always so focused on the first three albums I never got to this one properly but it turns out it is great.

专辑上来的那段旋律好喜欢

Good songs, nice vibe.

The cover promised a party. The music served warm water.

Interesting album and singing style, probably won't re-listen

Unfamiliar with Roxy Music but enjoyed this a fair amount. Lots of variety and interesting instrumentation. Never know what to expect with each song. Favorite tracks: Bitter Sweet, Triptych, A Really Good Time

Amazing. Energetic, chaotic, creative. How have I not heard this before.

Favorites: All I Want Is You, Bitter Sweet, Casanova This was released in 1974?! Feels pretty dang innovative. I've heard a lot about Roxy Music but hadn't listened until now. I see the influence, I see the creativity. I think this is a good album, but not as many songs stood out as I had hoped. Going to stick with 3 stars here. Kudos to the album art, though, for making me act all dodgy while listening at work. 🙃

Good start but it dragged by the 4th track and never got back on track. 3.5/5

As many know, this band has tiers. The Eno years, although I'm not a particular fan of his, we're this bands best. Avalon, their last album was a renaissance of sorts, but the records in between are just basic great art rock.

This aged so well. Rare album where I like the second half more than the first.

Maybe just tired of hearing good albums but this has stood out amongst a string of greeeat albums as one that didn’t do anything for me. Weird arrangements without a super clear hook?

Vähän tasapaksuksi jäi 3/5

Ei suuremmin säväyttänyt. 3/5

Look I'm not trying to be a creep, but this is a pretty great cover. And not just because... ya know. I mean, it's not NOT because that. Like I'm all for that. But it's more than that. For instance, I really like how the text is actually kind of bad and near unreadable. Man, okay, I don't know. It's a godo cover. Anyway, I've listened to this a few times now and it's growing on me.

I always enjoy a glimpse of the twilit demimonde that seems to exist in the fevered imaginations of Ferry and co. There was a period where these guys were untouchable. This album is part of that run.

I feel Roxy Music never got their due here in the U.S. as much as they did in the U.K. This is a good listen, although prefer their first album.

This album was excellent and a perfect Friday morning listen. No surprises there at all.

I was surprised at the quality of this. I never heard Roxy Music before and generally found thelis album to have a diverse array of styles and (usually) more of a modern sound. Some songs came off as a bit dated and underwhelming but all around good. 3.2/5 -> 3/5

“Art Rock” is the polite way of saying “rock that’s too shit to be entertaining, but pretentious enough to pretend that’s deliberate”. I try to keep my personal opinions of artists out of these reviews, but it is gratifying to learn that Brian Ferry is as bad a musician as he is a father and husband, with vocals and lyrics as stilted as his politics.

Really enjoyed this. Shall be checking out some more Roxy Music in the future. Simpsons: No

At best this album was boring and just about listenable. A few songs were awful, and really not a fan of the vocals.

This album is on par with their debut, but I can’t help but feel let down by all three of their albums featured on this list.

Interesting enough. Slightly more interesting than conventional rock but also less fun.

I’m on the fence with the album. The album cover throws me for a loop because the music is very theatrical. It’s just unusual but well executed.

Everything is so busy but ultimately kind of boring. High energy low reward. Some cool guitar parts and synth tones though. The best song is Prairie Rose, it sounds just like Talking Heads.

my first foray into roxy music. mostly bored me. huge dissonance between the cover and the contents. was not expecting my highest praise of this record to be "this sounds sorta like the slightly lamer talking heads albums". 2.5/5

Another W. Never listened to before. Familiar with Avalon, but not this one. Teen me was familiar with the album cover haha

I enjoyed this album. I've heard of the group but couldn't name any of their songs.

Classic cover, unimpressive music

Soyons honnêtes, avant même de poser le diamant sur le vinyle (ou le laser sur le CD, ne soyons pas sectaires), la première chose qui vous saute à la gueule avec "Country Life", c’est cette jaquette. On ne va pas se mentir, c'est probablement l'une des pochettes les plus emblématiques et, disons-le, les plus ouvertement provocatrices des années 70. Deux donzelles, tout juste sorties de la douche semble-t-il, en petite tenue transparente, fixant l'objectif avec un air qui oscille entre l'ennui blasé et l'invitation à la débauche la plus totale. Le tout devant un bosquet bien touffu. La métaphore est aussi subtile qu'un coup de pied dans les valseuses. Cet album, le quatrième du groupe, est souvent considéré comme le dernier acte de leur période la plus créative, la plus folle, juste avant que Bryan Ferry ne prenne totalement le contrôle pour transformer le groupe en une machine à tubes pour yuppies dépressifs dans les années 80. C'est un disque d'une densité folle. Là où son prédécesseur, "Stranded", était grandiose et luxuriant, "Country Life" est plus nerveux, plus direct, plus rock 'n' roll dans son essence. On sent que Brian Eno n'est plus là depuis un album déjà, et que la démence expérimentale a laissé place à une sorte de frénésie glam-rock ultra-maîtrisée. C'est un bordel, mais un bordel savamment orchestré. Dès le premier morceau, "The Thrill of It All", on est happé. C'est rapide, c'est urgent, avec la guitare de Phil Manzanera qui part dans tous les sens, le saxophone d'Andy Mackay qui pleure comme un ange déchu dans une ruelle sombre de Berlin et la voix de Ferry, plus dandy que jamais, qui plane au-dessus de tout ça. Ce type pourrait chanter le manuel d'utilisation d'un grille-pain et il arriverait à le rendre sexy et tragique. C'est insupportable et génial à la fois. Le truc avec Roxy Music à cette époque, c'est qu'ils arrivaient à marier des trucs totalement improbables. Ils pouvaient passer d'un rock quasi-sauvage à une pop song maniérée en un claquement de doigts. "All I Want Is You" est un tube pop parfait, accrocheur, presque joyeux. Et juste après, on se prend des morceaux comme "Triptych" ou "Bitter-Sweet" dans la gueule, des trucs beaucoup plus sombres, presque gothiques avant l'heure, avec des ambiances de cabaret sous acide. On sent une tension permanente dans ce disque. La tension entre l'art-rock le plus pointu et le glam rock le plus primaire. Entre la sophistication des arrangements et l'énergie brute, quasi-punk par moments. C'est un disque de mecs en smoking qui rêvent de foutre le feu au palace dans lequel ils jouent. Et c'est cette ambiguïté qui fait toute la force de l'album. Alors, pourquoi seulement 3/5, me direz-vous, si c'est si génial ? Parce que, justement, c'est peut-être un poil trop maîtrisé. Il manque ce grain de folie, cette démence pure que Brian Eno injectait dans les deux premiers albums. On sent que la machine est parfaitement huilée, presque trop. Bryan Ferry est en train de devenir le personnage qu'il ne cessera plus jamais d'être, et même si c'est fascinant, ça perd un peu de la folie et du danger des débuts. C'est le son d'un groupe au sommet de son art, mais aussi au bord du précipice qui le fera basculer vers autre chose. Quelque chose de plus lisse, de plus adulte, de moins… vital. Et puis, soyons francs, aussi brillant soit-il, il ne m'a jamais procuré le même frisson qu'un "For Your Pleasure" ou le premier album éponyme. Ces disques-là avaient un côté imprévisible, chaotique, qui me parle davantage. "Country Life" est un disque fabuleux, un classique absolu du glam rock, mais il ne me retourne pas les tripes. Il est trop élégant pour ça, même dans sa crasse. C'est le son de la décadence, certes, mais d'une décadence en smoking, pas en jean déchiré. N'empêche, quel disque, c'est un instantané parfait d'une époque où le rock osait être intelligent, sexy et dangereusement ambigu. Un disque qui, rien que pour sa pochette, a sa place dans n'importe quelle discothèque qui se respecte. Et puis merde, un album qui contient "The Thrill of It All" ne peut pas être mauvais. C'est scientifiquement impossible. C'est un album essentiel à écouter pour comprendre les années 70, mais il ne fera pas partie de mes disques de chevet. C'est un excellent album, mais pas un chef-d'oeuvre qui change une vie. Du moins, pas la mienne.

Neat album.

noniin ja brittialbumia joka ei todellakaan ole listalla vain sen takia koska influentiaalisia engelsmanni henkilöitä ollut jossain vaiheissa mukana hehehehe 1001 parasta albumia tehnyt noin 60 eri ukkoa ehheheh ollaan katsottu syvälle musiikin syövereihin heheheh...brian eno kummittelee vittu painajaisissani... noh kuraisen aloituksen jälkeen albumi on ihan kuunneltavaa tavaraa. välillä pojat unohtaa että pitää sitä musiikkiakin soittaa ja semmosta sontaa ujutetaan korviin että tekee mieli jättää koko peli kesken.. sitten tuleekin jotain eksperimenttiä jonka kaltaista ei ole koskaan kuullut ja runkkausrinki saa uutta virtaa... ontää ihan kiva kuitenki out of the blue

This record is famous for its cover. Nothing to see here...

DNF

This album was good. Fine. ok! Lots of fun! Big songs and big sounds! I don't think I'm going to rush to listen to it again though.

Artier side of glam rock. Comes out firing with the first song with some fire and a powerful but nimble bass like. Ferry is a unique singer that can be captivating at times. The musical interplay, which is an interesting combo of guitars, bass, violin/strinfs, synths, brass or oboe or something? - was more interesting than the songs necessarily. there are some pretty strong instrumental moments. Overall a decent listen but not too impactful to me.

Judging this album based off the art, I thought this was going to be garbage. But this might be one of the most unexpected pleasant surprises I've come across in this project. I absolutely love the sound quality and production, and each song is so unique and different making this a very eclectic and accessible album. An excellent listen. Top tracks: The Thrill Of It All, Out Of The Blue, Casanova

A new favourite type of rock (band). I loved the emotions, arrangements, sounds and how they were all tied together

This is a fun one. I dug it.

Nahhhhhhh

Album I've heard about, and of course seen a lot of the cover somehow (wonder why) but never actually dug into roxy music other than on occasional underwhelming youtube top of the pops exploration. I also though big brian eno was more involved with these boys but i guess he was just keyboard and left before this album. Anyway its kinda pointless. A John Cale song (fear is man's best friend I think) came on after, and before I realized the album had ended I was thinking they'd suddenly gotten good in the weird way I hoped they'd be. Alas, despite awesome things like having an oboist they never make songs worth it.

Nothing remarkable...I just don't get Roxy Music all that much. 2/5

Almost every song here is so close to being something great, and so most of them just end up in the good territory. This still leads to a solid album that's lacking in Eno weirdness, but is solid glam rock nonetheless. It just always feels weirdly lacking, whether it be the vocals or the instrumentation, if one piece is peak, the other is mid. Good album, even great at times, but it falls short of the god tier glam rock album I took this for in passing.

It’s sounds like an album I’d like but I couldn’t get anything to stick - maybe it needs more time. Yet by the metrics I’m judging other records it’s forgettable and same-y and no matter how cool Brian Ferry might be - it’s not a good LP.

Some fun one on here but not super memorable for me

I don't know how else to describe it other than "theatrical". I don't know if that even makes sense but it seems like they are playing roles more so than just playing instruments. Very interesting album with a wide variety of styles and pace. Extra bonus points for boobs

Snobby art rock with a leaning more towards the rock. Yes, Bryan Ferry's vocal affectation can seem a tad O.T.T. it fits the music perfectly – I could do without the ironic polka though. Imagine yourself on a bigger yacht with cooler people than you would be if hanging out with other 70's rock stars - this album would be playing. Best Tracks: The Thrill Of It All; All I Want Is You; Casanova

Both Adam Ant and John Taylor named tracks on Country Life as being amongst their favourite songs, which was enough to send me scurrying to the shops for this in the early 80s. Having grown up in the 70s thinking Bryan looked a bit creepy on Top of the Pops, I'd been won over by Avalon in 1982, and a friend and I then lost no time in filling in our knowledge of what had come before by buying half of Roxy's albums each and swapping now and again. (Some home taping may have gone on, ahem.) So, this one was mine, which meant I had to stick a piece of paper over the cover when transporting it to school. Anyway, ever since, Roxy Music have been one of my favourite bands. I never get bored by them, and although there are a few tracks (across their whole catalogue) that I can't get on with, I usually love the melodies, chord structure, instrumentation and of course their style. Phil Manzanera is definitely one of my favourite guitarists. On this album, I particularly like All I Want Is You, Out of the Blue, and A Really Good Time. Their songs are nearly always about people and relationships, but there's always an interesting edge. All of their albums are fantastic.

Sublime. OK, Triptych is unintentionally hilarious, but groundbreaking at the time. And Ferry’s voice remains a thing of wonder.

I wasn’t sure about this album when it popped up, because I’m sick to death of 70s music. I have to say, at first, I was very pleasantly surprised! I don’t think that it sounded like stereotypical 70s music, it was very interesting and unique. For the first half of the album, I was leaning towards a four star rating, but I think the back half really declined in quality, in my opinion. I’d probably give this a 3.5 if I could, because I do you think that it is a good, interesting example of 70s rock music that isn’t the stereotypical organ rock.

Nice 70s sound. I wanted to like it but probably won’t listen again.

I loved the unhinged jazzy art-rock of their debut, which got a five from me. Roxy continues their sonic experiments here, but it just sounds overproduced. An overloaded heap of sounds without any strong songs. Out of the blue sounds terrible with its effects. Just found it pretty annoying in general.

This wasnt offensive, but 2 goes through and im left with 2 thoughts: i dont like Brian Ferrys voice and the only sexy thing about this is the cover.

Exceptionally great album, with an unique and interesting sound that is still listenable and accessible. The band showed how much ahead they were in time and they made really great music even after Eno's departure from the band. I love music with many twists and turns where I don't know where the next notes will lead but it still comes together so well as an album. The production is fantastic, too.

I remember seeing this album in record stores growing up. I went through every album looking for new music, of course I eyeballed this. But this is my first time listening. Just awesome. Doing morning things and this is mostly background, Casanova was the track that caught my attention. Now I'm relistening. This album is pro. All the instrumentation is outstanding, the guitar playing in particular. Thanks album generator. Super Badass.

Started off strong but got boring

Spent the first half of this album really trying to understand the appeal of these. But the second half made up for it when things got slightly stranger, especially Bitter Sweet and Triptych. Ive definitely heard better from these, but its ok. Will be back for a few tracks but not all

Had two albums now and I'm still not sure where I stand on Roxy Music. They have parts which sound brilliant combined with others that are awful. While I'd say on the whole they are interesting enough for a listen I think this sort of art rock needs to be much more consistent to really interest me. Given that the Brian Eno album we had is brilliant I'll choose to believe the good bits are his and the rest are Ferry's.

I listened to the whole thing and can't remember any of it.

Our second Roxy music album. I don't get it! Individually all the bits of it are at least fine, I just don't really like what it all comes together to be. Feel that this album was less synthy than for your pleasure, but neither have done much for me. I thought prairie rose was the best track Nice tits though obviously 2

Out of the Blue is a clear inspiration for both The Cure and The Smiths. Love hearing that kind of thing. Prairie Rose, too, is very Johnny Marr. Don’t love this record, but I get it. 3/5

Favorite Tracks: Casanova The Thrill Of It All Three And Nine

Fantastic album cover and the album as a whole is really enjoyable

album. The B side grabbed me quite a bit more than the A side, especially the startling, strange German oom-pah song “Bitter Sweet.” I’d honestly never heard Roxy Music before. I recognized the album cover of half-nude models against a background of pine needles—it’s kind of hard to forget. My impressions without reading anything about the band yet: they have a clear knack for theatricality. There was something extremely flamboyant about this album. The lead singer has this half-sung, half-spoken thing going on, but his voice isn’t super unique. The arrangements are dense and polished, which isn’t always my favorite, but the album certainly had some texture to it. It did sound ahead-of-its-time for 1974, and clearly inspired later new wave and electro-pop sounds that became popular later in the decade.

Bra art rock med teatriska vibes i mellan.

Incredible album. This could be something produced today. It feels timeless. I had to double check the year as I couldn't believe this was released in '73! This is one of the rare gems on this list that I have never heard before.

I probably found the cover the most exciting part about this album. It was okaaaay, I don’t even mind Bryan Ferry’s voice but this was fairly mid for me

Really interesting, diverse selection of good songs. Elements of everything from early glam to English folk.

I don't know what it is but I am always underwhelmed by Roxy Music. "Avalon" and "More Than This" are OK background music or for studying or sleeping or something. Otherwise I find them pretty meh. Highlight here is "Out of the Blue" which has a Bowie-ness to it.

Definitely needs more listens to really sink in, there's a lot going on here, in a good way. Every song felt unique, great playing. Poppy rock music can still be super interesting when done by great musicians like this one is.

did not expect to see brian eno in this album

De hoes maakt een stuk meer indruk dan de muziek. De muziek schommelt tussen weinig zeggend en irritant. Theatrale zangert, hoog CKV gehalte, gecalculeerd chaotisch. Dit is het niet voor mij.

⭐️

Прикольный рок, хорошо слушается

Not my favourite Roxy sound. Though some of it clearly influenced another favourite of mine, Japan. A bit too honky art rock for me and a bit short on stand out songs.

Uhhhhhh I LOVE the album cover obviously! Sexy AF lol. Never heard of these guys. By the name of the album I thought it was going to be country. And by the album cover I thought it was going to be chicks singing. But nope was wrong on both counts. It's rock and sounds decent. didn't get through the album.

I mean come on

Didn't love it. Do we also rate the album cover?

Eclectic and interesting but not my favorite.

Pretty indifferent

I’m not quite sure what to make of this. It’s a pretty nice listen overall. A little strange. Much like their other album I had I guess. It’s not going to be a re-visit, but I’m glad I spent the time with it, and got to get a better feel for the band.

Please believe me when I say I'm not sexist, but the one on the right is hotter. Favourite Songs: The Thrill Of It All, All I Want Is You, Out Of The Blue, Bitter Sweet. Least Favourite Songs: If It Takes All Night, Triptych.

Phenomenal stuff here!

pretty fresh and pleasant to listen to, yet nothing too fancy or engaging

chebs 52/100

As many have already pointed out, the cover art is far more exciting than the album and I'm inclined to say they're not wrong. It's an alright album but nothing to write home about. I wish I could give it an even 2.5/5, but since that's not an option, I'll bump it up to a 3 for making me feel like I'm doing something inappropriate with the cover art on my work computer.

One song sounds like the Stones, the next Bowie.. not really sure what they would sound like intrinsically. Not bad not great for me

Je ne connaissais de Roxy Music que les morceaux Avalon, More Than This et Jealous Guy. Cet album démarre très fort avec The Thrill of It All++ Très dynamique, avec une ligne de basse très originale pour du rock. Excellent bassiste par ailleurs, on en profite sur une grande partie des morceaux. Out of the Blue++ Pour le chorus final. Donc plutôt bonne découverte, mais l'album a aussi des morceaux plus faibles vers la fin, trop standard (If It Takes All Night), ou inattendus (Bitter-Sweet) mais pas forcément en bien. =>3/5

Potente, pero para mi gusto pasa desapercibido. mucho rock mhe yo soy argentina. Esa voz country suena muy extranjera a mis oídos peronistas

at their best at the time

I expected cheap thrills based on the album cover, but this was much better than I expected! It felt varied and experimental enough, while maintaining a unified feel and still producing an enjoyable sound. Pleasantly surprised

Big BOOBA

I've always been a fan of Roxy Music since I saw them on "The Kenny Everett Video Show" in the 80s. I have all their records on vinyl in my collection. Amazing glam rock and Brian Ferry is the poster boy for "suave". Smooth as well-aged whisky. I also love their album covers. 5 stars!

I didn’t really enjoy this

Ein recht schönes Album, das insgesamt solide bleibt, ohne spektakuläre Höhen oder Tiefen. Ein echter Geheimtipp ist der Song “Bitter Blue”, der mit versteckten deutschen Spracheinflüssen überrascht. Das furiose Finale “Prairie Rose” hinterlässt einen bleibenden Eindruck, und das interessante Cover rundet das Album ab. Insgesamt eine gute, aber nicht herausragende Platte.

This feels like an unfair one.....and yet I never want to hear this again.

Okay, bit still disppointing

Boring

This is the second Roxy album I’ve heard, with the first being their debut, and I can easily say that this is not as good. Songs like the intro, “All I Want is You”, and “Casanova” are fairly uninteresting in the grand scheme of what Roxy Music has accomplished, although I do think the latter two are pretty decent songs. Other than those, the rest of the album (for the most part) evokes a similar creative spirit that their debut does. “Three and Nine” brings a whimsical energy, “If It Takes a Night” shows off their bluesier side, and songs like “Bitter Sweet” and the penultimate “A Really Good Time” showcases the band doing what they do best: making weirdo, unpredictable songs kinda catchy.

5 star album cover

I didn't really like this one

Solid album. Good flow. Not nearly as good as their first album though. It's lacking the originality that it had then. 3.5/5

Mir gefällt die zweite Albumhälfte besser als die erste. Kommt über Durchschnitt aber nicht hinaus.

I like how they said, "fuck it, we're going medieval" two thirds into this album. Bryan Ferry you crazy fuck, I know you write music just so you have an artistic reason to look at tits. Didn't even realize this is post-Brian Eno, because it sounds so much like his early work. Understand why he left though. Can't have two guys named Brian in a band with slightly different name spellings, that's like some Luigi and Waluigi shit.

It's like a bad Bowie impression. Didn't enjoy it and promptly forgot it.

Didn't really need multiple albums from this group but here we are...

Meh

No, not my favorite genre. That Zappa/Bowie/Who vibe has never appealed to me. Too screechy and contrived.

Boring slow pop-rock.

Pretty good album, started off amazingly, with a masterpiece of The Thrill of it All. Great song, easily best on the record. Rock of the highest level, guitar solos, maybe not complicated, but fit perfectly into the tune and the feeling of the song. The rest of the album afterwards slowly turns into a generic pop album, only with few rare moments of the first, glorious song. Vocal sounds like in every English 70s and 90s pop bands, so pretty common, but quite pleasant. Overall, memory of the opening song cannot allow me to give it any lower rating than 4,regardless of the other songs.

Enjoyed this album, ended up adding out of the blue to my liked playlist.

Just more bland British Rock music. I'm beginning to think the majority of these thousand albums are gonna be this kinda milquetoast sleepy stuff.

Fantastic. Roxy Music at their best. With a personal favourite, The thrill of it all and then classics like Out of the Blue and Casanova

A strong album which belies it’s age

słabe

:)

it’s fine but not really inclined to listen to it again .

Ein af mínum allra uppáhalds. Þrusugott stöff.

Coming in with some bangers here. Not big enough to really bop to, but there was definitely some substance. Not too long, good bit of range, original, unique. I enjoyed the instrumentation, lyrics, vocals, and album as a whole honestly. 4/5

There have been other Roxy Music albums I’ve enjoyed, and certain songs that I love. But this was fairly tepid. Nothing really stands out. I don’t hate it. But I doubt I’ll revisit. 2.5/5

Pure sleazy, art rock party music.

Great Art Rock, all over the place stylistically. Good production, excellent musicians.

I don't like this. It doesn't sound like music.

Pretty good actually. Lol. New to me. Distracting cover art. Hahaha

Great album cover, better than the music.

Considered one of Roxy Music’s best and most consistent album apparently. Leaves me a bit cold and never draws me in. 3/5

Pretty good listen

Last third is much stronger than the rest of the album imo

Fun

B+ The Thrill Of It All 4 Three And Nine 5 All I Want Is You 3 Out Of The Blue 5 If It Takes All Night 3 Bitter-Sweet 5 Triptych 4 Casanova 3 A Really Good Time 3 Prairie Rose 3 Such an amazing album. I only listened to this as a kid because of the cover art but I was blown away by the music, and I still am.

This was fine. It feels like a clone of better psychedelic/art rock from the same time period, but I had a good time listening to it. Can't see myself seeking it out or listening to anything else by the band, though.

Surprised by how clean and together this was. The sound is as attention grabbing as the cover lol

This was a Roxy Music album I finaly enjoyed. Enough diverse interest to be worth the time

A truly superb listen as Roxy Music demonstrate there is life after Eno.

Some unexpectedly interesting tracks here, which muted the annoying vocals a somewhat, but not enough for me to particularly like it. Stand-out: Three and Nine

Cheesy but not in a really good way. Maybe I know ewhy this album was a successful record sale…

I have always struggled to get into early Roxy Music. Nothing on the album grabbed me, but it probably deserves a deeper listen.

I've been a fan of Bryan Ferry for awhile and had previously sampled Roxy Music, but never been puzzled and delighted over and over again by it in this way. I held off returning a score for awhile, and I've found I can't quit this record.

I support the censoring, these nipples are ugly Started good. Occasional sax was nice. Got a bit boring towards the end
