A really, really fucking cool album that feels way ahead of its time. Venus de Milo was a standout track, as was the title "Marquee Moon" which was an epic jam. Really great stuff
This one was just ok
solid and interesting sound but nothing very memorable
I got distracted by new Cave halfway through this, and never made it back to finish. It's boring, didn't like it, it did nothing for me. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, it's just not my thing.
decent classic rock record
liked it . decent songs . even a few happy ones. will listen again
Opening track was particularly good
This album is a world unto itself. I've listened to a lot of music, but there's nothing else quite like this. Such a unique and often bizarre blend of post-punk-infused pop with a hint of psychedelia.
Really hear the Velvet Underground influence here. Sounds like 70s early punk for sure. I enjoyed this throughout. The guitars were really cool and I actually really dug his vocals - very 70s.
Marquee Moon: By Television - See No Evil: not a bad song to vibe to, love the beginning. the guitar is e v e r y t h i n g. it gets kinda boring and repetitive... bridge is CRAZY. - Venus: dad vibes. definitely. i would vibe to this while cooking/ baking in the kitchen. - Friction: damn. aggressive ✋🏼😅. its funny hahaha. PLS GUITAR GUITAR WOAAAAAAAH. - Marquee Moon: 10 mins, couldn’t make it to the 3rd minute. no. - Elevation: weird... i feel like it could be part of gossip girls sound track, like when blair and chuck end up in a fight and blair is walking on the streets. same vibe. - Guiding Light: probably my grandparents first dance song. weird in a nice way? gets intense 😳 guitar is so smooooooooooth - Prove it: STARETED OFF REALLLLY WELL, the chorus was disappointing 😢 THE WHISTLE ANKDKSIDISHSJF ADORABLE! RIFF! YUP! YUP! - Torn Curtain: not my vibe. no...
listened somewhat passively
V. good. Punk sound, good vocals + drums
Punky, chill background music, 70%
That one song, sure. The rest was meh
Very average, a bit boring
Never thought I'd like a punk album
Own. Fave Song 'See No Evil' 3.75
Ok album. Worth a future re-listen but not an everyday spin.
Didn’t listen
I actually quite like this album overall. Television is an essential part of that initial, American post-punk exploratory period that birthed bands like Violent Femmes and The Replacements. It's nihilistic and nonsensical at times, sure. But that's just true to its post-punk underpinnings. It also hits with some strong, jazz-rooted drums and more than a few prog-rock-leaning instrumental sections. Is it an amazing album? No. But it's pretty damn good. The title track, Marquee Moon, in particular, is great from both a technical and musical perspective.
Britisk 70’er punk, anderledes, guitar-præget
Connor: - great riffs / basslines - distinctive vocal style. unusual, but not unpleasant - liked it a lot more on the second listen
it was pretty good, 4.5/5
Fun, jazzy, angular, theatrical. Your favorite band's favorite album. Paved the way for a lot of great music. Favorite tracks: "Friction", "Marquee Moon", "Elevation", "See No Evil"
One of the greats right here, the guitar is so influential.
fun, not something I'd listen to again (too punky, but they performed better than some of the post-punk, I like)
this is pretty cool, shoegazey garagey rock but weirdly upbeat? i don't think the term shoegaze was around in 1977 but hey. weird that i'd never heard of this band before.
New York, CBGB, 70's. If that trio isnt a 5, tell me what is.
