Marquee Moon

This was alright, never heard of them before but decent!

Had fun with this one too, wish I liked it a lil more but it could grow on me! Very influential, I can tell!

good band... Tom Verlaine is a cool guy.. album is good too.

Not groundbreaking but still rocks

Muy buen disco, me llevó a la productividad, la voz del cantante es muy similar a la de Mick Jagger y la banda suena increíble

This v good. Like a Strokes I like better

Not my style but I understand why people like it

Loved it.

I had listened to Marquee Moon before, but not the whole album. Its a grower, and can definitely see the influence it had on post-punk /new wave bands of the early 80s.

Fom 1977, but already "post-punk". Good ideas in the guitar/bass work and tempo. Not my favourite kind of voice, almost too shrill, but it works here. Favourite tracks: "Friction"; "See No Evil". 3.75 / 5

I absolutely loved this. Never heard Television before, only heard their name mentioned. The thing that struck me listening to this was how honest it sounded. I don’t know if that even makes sense, but it just reeks of a band invested in themselves and their sound. Will definitely revisit. One of the best things I’ve found on this list so far.

This album was mostly "meh" but the guitar work on Torn Curtain was awesome.

I hear influences of earlier (actually current to when it was made, but I digress) groups and sounds of this echoed in later groups. Weird to think there was groups making music that would have sounded mire normal 10-15 years later. I can honestly say that this group was ahead of their time; which is probably why I've never heard of them.

I think its fine, it isn't spectacular and it isn't jumping out to me Best Song: Marquee Moon Rating: 6.0/10 Stars: 3

Dithered for a long time about this. A cut above most of the rest of the post punk albums and I liked a couple of the songs but I can’t see myself reaching for it. 3.5

Another pretty awful album. I did manage to soldier on and listen to the whole thing without any skips so plus 1 for that, but I would never ever willingly load this album up for a listen.

I don’t know, this was kind of tough to get through

I liked this album a lot. There are some pretty sick riffs driving the side 1. There's plenty of punk groups and albums that made it into this list, but this Marquee Moon has a nice blend of elements that differentiate them from the others for me; a mix of jam band, garage rock, and punk rock.

Discovering this album during Covid was a God-send. I'd heard Marquee Moon but never fully dived in. I'm a better person for it!

See No Evil, Friction, Marquee Moon - three of the greatest riffs in any song...all on one album. The quivering voice. Yep that's "you've made an enemy for life giving warm and cool a 6.4. I se you at a gen z slow core show I'm going to pick you up by the shift and slam you against the wall. Better hope security has a metal detector. Direct threat not to be taken as irony. It will be an open and closed case when the prosecution reads this tweet at my trial."

Favorite songs: See No Evil, Friction, Marquee Moon, Elevation, Guiding Light, Prove It, Torn Curtain

Nada mal. Me gustó una canción y la guardé en playlist de oldies.

Nice one, thats all

Decent. Sounded a bit like the Rolling Stones at times

A primeira banda que se apresentou no CBGB. Denota bem a cena da época, misturando sua mobilidade "indie" arcaicamente definida naqueles tempos, com guitarras leves e melodias tranquilas mas instigantes, ao mesmo tempo que caóticas. HIGHLIGHTS: MARQUEE MOON, SEE NO EVIL, Friction, Elevation, Torn Curtain 9.5/10

Tom Verlaine has a goofy voice and Television sound nothing like the rest of the CGBG crowd. Other than that, this is a crazy good record.

Un gran disco para escuchar en la ruta tomando unos mates. Canciones largas que invitan a la reflexión.

It's not too bad. some songs reminds me of television songs. great album but not really my cup of tea.

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Never quite reaches the heights of some of the other CBGB bands of its day. A bit more raw and less poppy than Talking Heads but totally enjoyable for an afternoon listen.

Listening to this genuinely made me upset. These guys should be banned from making music - not that what I just listened to was music, but you know, just in case...

It started off so strong but gets so drawn out by the title track onward. I suspect they wanted to do less but needed to pad out runtime due to a vinyl release. I'll definitely be listening to 3-4 tracks from this album again, but I don't suspect I'll be playing it back to front again.

fine. nothing stands out either way.

Ive tried Marquee Moon a few times in the past so i'm trying to hear it with fresh ears. It's gotta be the voice, right? That's the hang up, right? It must be. Because objectively this is a strong clutch of songs. See No Evil is a great song altogether. The guitar work in Friction is compelling and addicting. The title track? Musically perfect. But vocals can be such a big piece when songs are being sung, and it's not always obvious when a voice will or won't be grating (I like Smashing Pumpkins, after all). So on my nth listen, i'm trying to read this like many people hear Dylan, as a template for the songs and not necessarily the definitive recording. Doing that opened the album up more. Though on the other hand, this album cover is one of the most haunted pictures ever taken. Maybe it requires the unsettled vocals brought to the tracks? Music is weird and wonderful. 3*, but stronger than ever before. Maybe some day itll make 4. Maybe it has a ceiling for me. Marquee Moon is the sort of special song that doesn't feel like it's 10 minutes, so that's my pick.

166/1001 First listen. Music is good. Vocals are bad. 4/10

Friends of mine performed this album the day analog broadcast TV went off the air (2009?). Death to television, long live Television.

Belter

*1977. American punk/alt. *Sounds a lot like the Rolling Stones to me. *I like it well enough, but I'd rather just listen to the Stones. RATING - 6.5/10

Excellent alt-rock album that feels a full decade ahead of its time for 1977. The compositions really stand out. Lots of great guitar tones and interesting bass lines. This is deceptively complex music. The lead singer’s off-kilter wail and the band’s loose performances could suggest a kind of tossed-off style, but Television were clearly working at a very high level. The title track in particular is stunning. I love how at the end they come back to the opening riff after a long jam in the middle.

Some real nice guitar playing on this record, for me thats the standout thing. It's really nice and loose and times, and really tight at the same time.. which leads me to believe that when it's loose it's all intentional. The "feel" is great throughout. "Marquee Moon" is a nice example of great lead AND rhythm guitar playing. Listen to those rhythmic stops in the chorus of "Elevation" that come on the and-of-three (I think?). How cool! There's a ton of depth to this band. 3.5/5 for me, not quite enough for a round up but I definitely enjoyed it and want to hear more.

This was not bad i like Venus but nothing particularly stuck out to me. It’s some fun dramatic rock

Interesujące

The title track alone makes this a 10/10 for me and all the other songs are just an extra treat along the way

Enjoyed this album, but I think my enjoyment maybe suffered from hearing the super popular songs a lot and in bad contexts. I was pleasantly surprised by Friction and Torn Curtain, which I could really see how they influenced music in their time.

Would rather chew my arm off than keep listening to this

Got into it after a few song's. Actually enjoyed it

I was gonna say they sound like the Strokes, but I think it's the other way around This was very enjoyable and all the songs work so well together I love discovering new music!! Fav: Elevation

The guitar work is beautiful. I get the influential move this album had on a lot of rock bands even if it's sales stayed in Britan. I can't side with anyone who says it's a bad album, but I can tell you I respect it for it's craft, but I'm not enthralled in it as a stand alone album.

Really enjoyed this. The title track is properly thick and full of talent. What a great discovery for me.

I See No Evil: 7.5/10. Venus: 9.5/10. Love the guitarwork, emotion in vocals, and expressive lyrics. Feels personal and holy..esp with the call and response and talking-singing. “and I felt..” “did you feel alone?” Friction: 9.7/10. A pulsating, nocturnal esque track.. reminiscent of a neon rain soaked night in late 1970s Lower Manhattan. Love the hook..gives me butterflies. Marquee Moon: 9.9/10 Elevation

Liked this way more than I expected to. Different vocals and it's probably a 4.

pretty good

great album. great guitar playing. great interplay. a classic.

Wel leuk

Aangenaam, vibey, rustig! Ik zou er nog naar luisteren

My kind of 70s white, male, guitar-led, grandad rock. Supreme talent without indulgence. Immaculate.

Such an amazing album. This has been a recent discovery and I'm so glad I did. A wonderful piece of art. Stand out track is Marquee Moon. This band sounded so Noughties in the late 1970s!

It was a nice listen but won't be my new favorite. The first half of the album was better plus that 10 minute song later. At the very end, I was getting the impression of 70s&80 rock that's not for me ( like Scorpions and such)

really enjoyed this one, similar vibes to geese and the strokes, wish i knew about this sooner, very cool guitar, as a first listen i love that it’s 8 songs long because it can feel long listening to a new album you haven’t heard of yet, feels incredibly wrong that i’ve not heard this before, as an a&r scout i’d love to find a new band that sounds like these guys, by guiding light i got a bit bored but i will probs listen to this album again

I i’ve never heard of this band, but I really liked them. I think a lot of the songs sounded the same, but the voice of the singer and the could be right now in 2026.

Doesn't sound anyway dated even now; a sophisticated record beyond punk of the time, sounds like a forerunner for Radiohead.

Number: 76 Date: 03/19/2026 Artist: Television Album: Marquee Moon Year: 1977 Genre: New Wave Punk Rock Rating: 2 Notes: Before: I never was a huge fan of Television. They're OK but there's nothing really unique or special about their sound, imo. I do have one song from this album on my favorites of 1977 list, Marquee Moon, ranked 66 out of 100 for 1977. During: So 2 songs in now and I find them a little annoying, maybe it's Tom Verlaine's voice and delivery style that rubs me the wrong way. The music itself is decent. Now at number 4, Marquee Moon. The main reason it's on my best of '77 list is it's because it's by Television and I felt like I had to include at least one song of theirs. It starts off pretty good but is quite long. I think it's going to get a demotion. 2 See No Evil 2 Venus 2 Friction 3 Marquee Moon 2 Elevation 2 Guiding Light 2 Prove It 2 Torn Curtain ----------------------------------------------------- 2.125 AVERAGE 2.22 WEIGHTED AVERAGE (accounts for song lengths) After: I don't really like it at all. I liked their music a little more back in the early 80's but it hasn't aged well, imo. Still I get that they were very influential and should be included in this list. 2 my personal rating 5 suitability for this list 4 relevance ----------------------------------------------- 3.7 composite rating

3/5 - It's definitely a "Like it", but not a "Love it". While I didn't want to skip any of the songs, nothing jumped out at me as a standout song or overly memorable. Favorite song: Prove It

Classic

Gillade detta! Lite glad vibe, svårt att förklara. Glad rock typ? Väldigt nice. Musik som låter som en vårdag typ

torn curtain, tremendo final

Aika tommone bland albumi. Vähän tuntu itseään toistavalta ja kun ne koitti korjata sitä tyhjyyttä esim kitaran soitolla, se kuulosti pakotetulta ja pelkältä ääneltä. Mut ei se ny ihan kauhee albumi ollu Paras biisi: elevation Arvosana: 1,75

I had never heard of this band, but can hear their influence on others (the strokes in particular). At first the vocals reminded me of Mick Jagger. This would possibly grow for me but a high 3/low 4.

Compelling listen.

What a sound , and all hangs of the title track. Can very why see the likes of the Stokes were influenced by this. Well worth multiple listens. Low 5

The multi-staged Marquee Moon is the perfect centrepiece of this record. It's head and shoulders above the rest, but only in virtue of being one of the best songs ever written. Outside of the title track there are a series of smart compositions which slowly unfold and evolve and show the band to be ahead of their time in how they play the guitar, with various tones and inflections being lifted and shifted by those who’ve come since. I could hear a bit of David Byrne in the vocals, so I was surprised to see that this LP was released six months before Talking Heads’ ‘77. A remarkable album.

The title track is incredible, the rest is great and has catchy melodies and hooks, interesting twists and turns and the whole thing sounds fresh, it must have sounded wild in 77

Very good album. I really liked the "Marque Moon" song (among others). I'll listen to this again to check the lyrics. It's 4 stars now...but I can see this reaching 5 stars after a few more listens.

ai q capa é essa FAVS (top 3): see no evil, friction, elevation mençoes honrosas: prove it what the hell, sure nota final: 3/5

Is it a coincidence that Houmous & Chutney had an album titled Marquee (Keith) Moon? I’ll leave that with you….. 4.5 4/8 Marquee Moon

This album rocked! I could tell it was from the seventies because of the awesome guitar work. I would be fine listening to it in whole again someday. Album 18, March 16, 2026

undisputed classic. blueprint for so so so so so so many bands.

It was alright. Standout Track: See No Evil

This album's in regular rotation for me yet every time I hear it I feel like I'm embarking on a new adventure. Yes I know Adventure's the name of their second album😀. Everything clicks and while some tracks are stronger than others, they all give me the vibe that I am looking for. I never walk away upset as having spent this last half hour with them in my ears.

This doesn't sound like something from the 70s. I felt more indie dark wave goth vibes than what I typically associate with the 70s (Disco, funk, folk, or jam bangs). I'm going to have to check out more of their stuff.

Solid album that I never heard before. Demands another listen.

Very enjoyable post-punk Album. Surf rock riffs and grooves. All around sound listen.

Не мой жанр, романтизация прогулки по Питеру под этот альбом прошла успешно) Снимаю две звезды лишь за то, что не мой жанр, и я уверен что есть что-то подобное, но гораздо круче.

pretty good

please STOP serving me albums with great instrumental and then a lead singer that sings like a wanker!!! they keep dragging down the score!!!!!!

I have heard of Television, but I don’t know any of their songs. This was fine. The songs were really long though.

Det var en låt som höjde från 1 till 2 men det var knappt. Det lät som en ai version av talking heads

I'd forgotten how juicy the bass was on this one

what am i missing here? honest question. i found this to be a remarkably average guitar-forward rock album, yet when reading the wikipedia page for it after listening, it's hailed as one of the most heavily influential albums ever for all of american rock music. genuinely baffling to me. i just don't get it. the timbre of electric guitars in a Dad Rock album like this do so little for me, so the apparently-novel approach of "what if we center the guitar" isn't something i find that appealing. it doesn't help that i find tom verlaine's vocals to be shrill and grating. he's really unpleasant and just.... No thank you.

Person who's only heard of David bowie: "hey this sounds a bit like David Bowie" I listened to this album twice and enjoyed it a lot more on the second run through. The instrumentation is excellent throughout and I love the art-punk style on display here. Songs like Friction and Elevation are uniformly great. The main sticking point for me is that I just don't think the singing works as well on some tracks or others. On songs like "prove it" I really love the singing, but then on "Marquee Moon" I think its just too much. I think with time I would find it less distracting, I found that I already enjoyed the singing aspect more on the second listen, but the nature of these reviews don't really afford it. That said I simply cannot get over how good the instrumentals are here, and their highlights are high enough to just push it into a 4 for me.

This is fine. Middle of the road. Can't see me bothering to listen again.

250/1001 Television - Marquee Moon Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ✅ Another of those albums where I've heardthe inescapable track Marquee Moon and loved it, but not ventured enough to fully listen to the album. Suffice to say, that I'll be back for more. The combination of post-punk and psych just really work for me.

Very 2012 coded, sound like a sound track to a movie. Love the guitar

The closer Torn Curtain is superb, especially the backing vocals while the solo is playing This is an album that ive listened to previously but nothing really stuck with me over the years. But it is good, I never had negative thoughts about it Great, very high 4 but its got 5 written all over it

This is really really really really good. The last song is a bit mid but literally everything else is great. The title track is amazing.

Vet ju om att detta albumet brukar höjas till skyarna. Kan ju förstå att det var stilbildande och varit till inspiration för efterkommande artister. Jag tycker väl att det är bra men inte mer. Titelspåret är grymt men sen tycker jag inte det är så imponerande. Kommer förmodligen lyssna på det igen för att förstå what the fuzz is about men just nu för det en 3a. Bäst är Marqee moon, Elevation och Prove it.

I didn't mind that. Slow start but got pretty good.

listened to this a while ago and fun fact this album was gifted to me TWICE! once on CD once on vinyl by 2 different people :) i can just say this has some insane guitar playing and sounds absolutely wonderful especially for the year this came out

Very nice album with marquee moon being the very best by far. I am surprised how much I can hear the inspiration later rock bands have taken from this album.

3/5 Yeahhh I liked this album. Marquee Moon is definitely a song I love a lot, and the album was nice to listen to as well, but I found myself getting a little annoyed at the singer's voice. Other than that it was pretty good.

Agree with review that the songs are more complex than the other music coming out in the mid-1970s. Can hear elements of alternative music in the songs which is a step in that direction, but on the early edge of things. Not a huge fan, but I recognize it was likely very different when it came out.

This album is cemented in my Hall of Fame of albums that made me love this book. In all likelihood, I would have never listened to it without this exercise. But now, it is one of my all-time favorites, and it is informative of so much of what I like in my music taste. This album started my vinyl collection, and there is no better album for me with which to start it.

The guitar slays the house down boots but the lead singer is so off putting to me I can’t get fully on board

Fun album, more my speed than other recent albums.

I liked this one! Still haven’t figured out who it reminds me of though…

Me encantó!!

9/10 Favorite: See No Evil

this was kind of boring but i liked the last song a lot

Some of the coolest guitar work in the business. Unimpeachable first four songs, including "Marquee Moon" which is epic. Side two is good but unmemorable.

The guitar interplay is surgically precise and the mix is incredibly transparent, leaving no room for mistakes. You can clearly hear how this record laid the foundation for the 2000s garage rock revival and bands like The Strokes. It is a masterpiece of technical control even if it lacks that final emotional spark to reach a perfect score.

Seminal punk (or is it post punk?) album that is full of great, angular but melodic songs. Wasn't familiar with this one when it came out but its influence is huge. I especially love Richard Lloyd's guitar work and I know him best from his playing on the "Girlfriend" album by Matthew Sweet. I hear echoes of this album in so much of modern alt and indie rock. Favorites are "Friction" and the epic title track. It also reminds me a lot of Magazine, another band of that era. Unlike many punk-era bands, these guys could play and did it majestically.

Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd's guitar playing on this is some of my favorite on any record ever. Technically difficult riffs applied with insane precision, and some soaring, super memorable lines throughout - like on my favorite track here, Venus. First side of this is immaculate, but there's a couple on the second half that hold me back from a five personally, that just kind of plod a bit, like Elevation and Torn Curtain. Still, a singular album that definitely deserves a spot on the list.

Yeah. Television.

Interesante, no lo mejor pero entiendo porque es una influencia. 3.8 quizá mas, o menos, en un futuro

i didn‘t dislike this as much as i‘d have expected

d-_-b

These guys were closely associated with the punk rock movement but they flew in the face of every thing that was punk rock. Most of their songs were over 4 minutes. They had long guitar solos and they could play their instruments masterfully. Tom Verlaine really was one of the better guitarists to come up in the seventies.

Do not enjoy this style of music at all.

Eh? Correct?

Instrumentals provide a pretty classic rock vibe. Vocals left a lot to be desired.

I don't quite get the fuss about this album. I suspect hearing it in real time in the 70's would be a different kettle of fish. It seems to inhabit the same eco system as Blondie, The Ramones, and Talking Heads. It's ok, the singers voice is wearing

If you're into 70s punk rock, then this is for you.

Not bad, not great. Idk, nothing really of note from this one. Average.

Television выпустили «Marquee Moon» в феврале 1977 года, и этот альбом до сих пор сложно куда-то определить. Формально панк-эра, формально Нью-Йорк, но по звуку это совсем другая история: длинные, переплетающиеся гитарные партии Тома Верлена и Ричарда Ллойда, холодная и точная ритм-секция, тексты которые скорее поэзия чем рок-лирика. Заглавный трек идёт десять минут и не чувствуется как десять минут. Альбом не стал коммерческим хитом при выходе, зато повлиял на всех, кто потом делал пост-панк, инди и арт-рок. Это одна из тех записей, про которые говорят «опередил время» и не преувеличивают.

new york why can't you be cool again

Sounds like NYC 1977, alright. Reminds me a lot of Patti Smith without the lyrical urgency. Good guitar and drum work, really enjoyable.

So generic. 2

not my vibes really like i liked the instrumentals and everything but the vocals werent my type the songs i liked were marquee moon itself. NEVER MIND THE SONG IS FUCKING 10 MINUTES LONG HOLY SHIT I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE I JUST THOUGHT I WENT TO THE NEW SONG MY DAYS. yeahh sorry this albums a chop for me not vibing with it but guiding light is good.

Surprised me a lot. Really strong start; it lost me a bit towards the end, but the first half was absolutely excellent. I'd never heard of this band nor album before. Will listen to some of these again in the future.

It’s fine like the guitar riffs

Not a bad song on this album. Love 70s art-punk stuff so this was an easy five for me. Somehow combines both poppy melodies with a sharp edge and cryptic lyrics, and that combination doesn't feel disingenuous in the slightest. Amazing drums on this by the way, what a standout.

Favourites: -Marquee Moon -Torn Curtain Pas très fan de la voix

I couldn’t help but feel like I was listening to an alternative version of the Rolling Stones here, especially on Side B. Goat’s Head Soup era to be exact. The loose guitar, the soft floaty vocals, etc. I’ve visited this album before, but it’s ironic I revisit this during my post punk/new wave/ art rock bender I’ve been on. There’s a few skips here for me, but I love Side B. It’s like a cluster fuck combination of so many bands I love. “Guiding Light” feels like an early 70s rock song that gives me heavy Stones vibes, whereas songs like “Prove It” feel like everything I grew up on (90s/00s alt) “Prove It” sounds so fucking familiar I can’t put my finger on it. Strokes for sure. “Alright” by Supergrass even. It feels nostalgic to everything I grew up on, but also something that easily could’ve came out today.

THE STROKES INFLUENCES ARE OUT THERE. I hear talking heads too. I love this. Venus is a great great track that was so ahead of its time. I really really love this Dude title track just deconstructed itself over and over this is an easy 9 and I love seeing all the records that influenced my favorite bands Bro prove it is literally a Geese song its insane

Had not heard these guys before but absolutely loved it. Definitely adding this album to my list.

I know Drew has previously discussed his disdain for early punk rock bands, but I disagree. A lot of these proto-punk bands like Television, Talking Heads, and Iggy Pop really hit home for me. I love the sound, especially if I have it playing while I'm working on a project or something. I remember listening to a lot of this style of music in a big storage dock at the hospital while I set up the new Omnicell med cabinets. I had the whole place to myself. Some of the best shifts I've ever worked.

Hard pass here. It wasn't so bad I had to turn it off but I spent the whole time feeling it was long and wishing it was over.

Vocals too whiny. Songs were fine but forgettable

I would have rated this album higher if they had a better singer. I really didn’t like his voice. The songs were pretty good.

Decent 2. This wasn’t my fave. The lead singer’s voice REALLY bothered me. It made it unlistenable. The instrumentation was great , but there are a lot of other punk bands I like more.

I’ll deal with the most significant issue first. Tom Verlaine can’t sing. That alone is downgrading this album from 4 to 3 stars for me. It’s a shame because other than the singing, I think this is an excellent album. It really compares well with the debut albums of other NYC–based bands from the era : Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads. I particularly like the guitar work on the album. Verlaine should have stuck to playing the guitar and gotten someone else to sing. I wonder how big this band could’ve been with a good singer.

It's always interesting to see albums that are functionally post-punk which came out near the beginning of punk itself. Even though Marquee Moon came out in 1977, it is a daring expansion on punk in a way that is pretty incredible and very exciting. Television makes it to some of the same places as later era Joy Division and Wire. Television has maintained the simplicity of punk on a moment to moment basis. But the broader arcs of their songs are dense and explorative. The aesthetic on this album is kind of stilted and angular, and it combines with the slightly abstract songs to create a really compelling, enveloping, and oftentimes anxious atmosphere. Songs like the title track, Torn Curtain, Venus and Elevation are among the greatest from the post punk scene. They are snakey, tense, and creatively assembled songs. The other 4 are often good, but they don't quite capture the same magic. And it doesn't bring the album down a ton, but it adds up a little. I see a little of what gets this album to be considered nearly perfect by so many people, but I just don't think it fully makes it there. Although, what is here still stands incredibly strong, with some truly unique and astonishing moments.

This shit rules. It’s like talking heads but also the strokes but also garage rock? I don’t know man if this came out right now I’d love it, I guess I’m saying it’s timeless. Venus is a strokes song!!! Friction has a queens riff!!! Elevation time thing in the chorus what the hell so weird and cool. Banger. I don’t know that I’m informed enough on the getting killed record and I do think that album is good but I think this is what I wish geese sounded like. I don’t know that it’s a 5, it’s probably a 4, but I liked this so much more than anything in the last week or so, gotta give it.

Amazing, seminal album.

I remember a television album or two in my home growing up. Good stuff. I recognized alot of the songs, though I don't remember this album as one we owned (based on the cover).

Better than I remember. Tom Verlaine’s voice is still hard, but the rhythm section is super tight.

Now THIS is the typa shit I wanna get recommended!! I tried to listen to this album before, so to know now that I HAVE to, it’s nice. But enough talking about stuff that don’t matter. This album is pretty great. Tom Verlaine is a very interesting frontman, and that’s not all necessarily good interesting, but he really gets the job done, and he also plays some great passages as a musician. See No Evil is a wonderful little song, the title track is absolutely astonishing, and the b-side is just some great old art rock. I’m not necessarily interested in returning to this one, but I would be remiss if I didn’t say it was one of the better albums I’ve ever heard. 8.7/10

I bought this on CD as a college student in the early 90s. It was recommended to me by a music head as a seminal album; the guy at the record store even congratulated me on buying such a great album. I felt cool. I couldn't get into it. It gathered dust. But this time around, I guess I was growed up enough to get it. Really enjoyed this today - listened to the album several times. Such a great song, and can easily see the influence of this album. Really appreciated the Talking Heads adjacency here. Just another reason this project has been so fun.

Really strong 70s rock album. Just enough experimental stuff to make it interesting but not too far and drifting into pretentiousness

Was quite boring

Prior to this I only have 2 songs liked by Television - and one of them is the song "Marquee Moon" and I REALLY like that song - especially the long instrumental jam part. So I'm very curious to dive into this album more. As with many bands I am not that familiar with, it seems that most singer's voices really annoy me. I think this must be a ME problem. Although sometimes they grow on me and sometimes they don't. I think this guy is slowly growing on me after a while. But, in general, I do like the music much more than the vocals. For example, I've listened to the song Marquee Moon so many times and I don't think I could tell you what it's about lyrically, because I just focus on the music. It's such a great groove. Listening to this I hear some similarities with predecessors like David Bowie and Velvet Underground, contemporaries of theirs like Talking Heads and somewhat Elvis Costello and successors like the Strokes, U2, Spoon, Matthew Sweet and Modest Mouse. All of whom I love. I realize now that I actually saw Richard Lloyd (Television guitarist) when he toured as part of Matthew Sweet's band - cool connection! What's funny is I grew up in the New York area and on the radio you could hear a lot of the bands coming out of NYC - like Talking Heads, Ramones, Blondie - but I never heard these guys on the radio - even the alternative stations like WLIR. I guess they had mostly ended their brief run before LIR started. The dual guitars on this is great! I like the addition of piano to songs like Torn Curtain. Opening part of Elevation reminds me of something. What is that?? Upon the 3rd listen, as it was going I kept thinking "oh yeah, this song, I like this one" and so I ended up liking all 8 songs :) Liked songs on Spotify: 8/8 (Perfect Album) Rating: 5/5

Debut album. New Wave / Rock. Fantastic guitar work throughout the album. The overall sound as a whole is clearly a huge influence on many bands that followed. The title track was my favourite from a very good album.

Favorite Track: Marquee Moon

Шикарный альбом, показавший, насколько креативным и проработанным может быть панк-рок. Удивительно, что он вышел в тот же год, что и единственный альбом Sex Pistols, где басист не умел играть на басу. Здесь же каждый трек отдает качеством, профессионализмом и имеет интересную музыкальную задумку. Альбом сильно повлиял на развитие панк-музыки и формирование пост-панка, не дав жанру зачахнуть в узких рамках DIY-протеста.

На секунду обрадовалась, что выпали Television Personalities. Но просто Television тоже классно. Обожаю, когда 10-ти минутные песни настолько крутые, что слушаются как-будто за 3. Супер лайк.

Просто обожаю этот альбом, каждая песня отвал башки. Входит в мой топ-15 за все время. Один из лучших закрывающих треков эва. Том Верлен - краш.

Лучшая песня: Elevation Худшая: Friction Нормально

Одноимённая альбому 10-минутная песня - легенда на века. Абсолютная классика

понравилось, хоть и не все, marqee moon топ конечно

Ощущение, что послушала вариант группы Interpol из 70-х. Marquee Moon - Obstacle 1 для поколения беби-бумеров

Зашел написать сюда, что гитары в Marquee Moon очень напоминают Interpol, оказалось это уже написали. Глянул на сайте семплов - оказалось Interpol не семплировали, но я уверен вдохновлялись. Хороший, приятный альбом - буду считать его предвестником post-punk revival.

Nicht mein Geschmack. Aber interessant und abwechslungsreich.

I've had this in my record collection for twenty years, and it still sounds fresh and timeless. A true classic!

ehhh... not for me

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

I get why people have been hyping up this album for so long now.

Enjoyed the instrumental's. Marquee Moon was my favorite single

A great album. Love ‘Elevation’

Again just something I would pick up

About as complete and thoughtful of an album as you’ll get, at least for its genre and time. You can hear this albums influence reach out as far as The Strokes - just listen to “Venus”. What a song! The title track is an opus, with so many phases and escalations, all to land back at that same little guitar melody. Then “Torn Curtain” is such a stellar closer. So much drama packed into a rock track. If Eno wanted to make this more like the stuff he was doing with Roxy Music, he woulda ruined it. If he wanted to make it more like the electronic stuff his solo work was becoming…I’d hear that out. All hypothetical though. Not a ton to say about this one other than how well put together it is. A full 5/5

ME encanto, me guarde casi todos los temas. amo con las guitarras que empiezan en todos sus temas, la verdad ghasta me lo anote para comprar en vinilo. ni los conocia, muy bueno

How have I never listened to this. Straight bangers for the first half. Not the biggest fan of their last song.

THIS is NY indie rock

It wasn’t even bad, just was not exciting to me.

I can hear where so many bands that have come after just pulled whole cloth from what Television was doing here. A source code for 80s new wave into 90s Alternative. Wavering between a 4 and a 5 here, but I assume I will like this even more as time goes by.

It was fine. Venus was remarkable.

I need more time with this. Violent Femmes+ talking heads. Way before their time.

Ok

This album is a masterpiece. It is incredibly innovative and ultimately proved to be hugely influential to music that followed. The list of artists who credit Television as an influence is long and varied. This one has been on somewhat regular rotation for me for several decades now. There really isn’t anything I can say about this album that hasn’t already been said.

5.0

Cool album

If I were asked to choose one album that sounds utterly timeless, this would be my pick. Released in 1977, Marquee Moon is nearly 50 years old yet sounds like it could have been made yesterday - and you can point to specific bands like The Strokes, or scenes like the garage rock revival of the early 2000s, as moments where its influence is undeniable. For me, that influence is clear not only in the sound and style it helped create for generations of punk, indie, and alt-rockers, but also in its impeccable production. The guitars sound crisp and clean, with Tom Verlaine's vocals coming through clear and strong - you'd never think it was recorded decades ago. The songs are delivered with such swagger and confidence that it's hard to believe this was their debut. The epic title track still amazes, with its intertwining guitars and slow, hypnotic build. See No Evil is one of the all-time great openers while Friction is a particular favourite and a standout example of the incredible guitar interplay between Verlaine and Richard Lloyd - a defining feature of the album throughout. I first heard this album over 20 years ago and it still sounds as modern and vital today as it did then. I have no doubt it will remain just as relevant for decades to come.

Buen albom rock clasico, coros pegadisos y solos eternos

"Austin TV" de manual

Ya lo escuche ta bueno pero no se hay algo que no me interpela del todo

Rhythm is quite nice in some songs. Seems alternative to me. Love the melody. Strong vocals, interesting lyrics choice. Gives kinda this hopeless mixed feelings

Starts off with its worst track, See No Evil. It wasn't terrible, but got quite repetitive. Venus was a little better. Friction was all right. Then it picked up. Marquee Moon had really nice guitar work, as did Guiding Light. Prove It and Torn Curtain were pretty fun. The best track was Elevation, the guitar riff throughout was really nice, and the guitar solo was really good. Pretty good album. Best song: Elevation

Of course this a 5 from me! Dipped in and out of this over the years and I still don’t really know of anyone who is similar. It’s so much more than punk or post-punk. Like post-punk-art-rock-jazz. That probably covers it. But the drums too are so influential on so many bands I loved growing up, that sort of free style jazz way of playing that sounds so simple and technical at the same time. Adds so much more too it. Marquee Moon track is a great example of it. At times it sounds like multiple instruments doing their own thing, adding their own little layers at the same time, but it all just works. Anyway, I think it’s great. Yeah it does occasionally drift but it’s worth it for when it all comes back together

Had to be very influential on angular indie and feels very ahead of it's time. Think television are still about? Know the name and had a feeling they would be in my wheelhouse. Reminded me of Les savy fav again, have to repeat it's mad this is from the 70s. Could be a bit more varied if you appraise it on its own merits but very good.

Wow - theatrical, grandiose, lucid. Venus, Friction, Marquee Moon, and Torn Curtain were the highlights. Super baroque, well-worked songs, complex instrumentation. Tip top that, loved it.

I've listened to this before and I know it's very highly regarded. It sounds so familiar to me, yet I can't really compare it to anything. I don't think it sounds like it's from the 70s..... I guess it's because other bands have mimicked this? I'm not fully convinced by this, but it is good. Marque Moon is the best track for me. Great riff. This has got the smell of high scores from Jamie and Graham..... For me 3.5, but closer to 4

Released before the debuts from The Clash and Sex Pistols, Marquee Moon was so far ahead of its time that it borders on post punk before punk had even broken. While punk at its core, its so far beyond it in complexity and structure. This is full of entrancing intertwined guitars, infectious melodies, and blistering solos. But it never feels too technical - it's loose, fun, and rhythmic. The vocals dance lightly on top, always changing form; the different inflections in the chorus of "Prove It" or the backing "Huh?" on "Venus" are a couple highlights. "Venus" and the title track are examples of the vivid imagery in the lyrics. It would be one thing for this to just be a showcase for Verlaine's guitar, but for it to shine in so many other ways and boast songwriting that spans from the epic title track to the tender "Guiding Light" almost feels unfair.

6 - AVERAGE

No thank you. Two!

A little too much art for my punk

This is one of those albums that I’m ALWAYS seeing being talked about. And while I can say now that I get the hype I was mildly let down with what I thought it was gunna be. And maybe that’s my own fault from reading too much into an album I’m constantly seeing but never having had listened to before. For example, I honestly thought this album would be heavy, like maybe not explicitly metal, but I kinda predicted this album to be more grunge. Needless to say, it’s neither of those things. Honestly I could see this being the FIRST true alternative album. But to me, the name alternative doesn’t really do the genre a justice, cause it’s more complicated than just being a contradiction to “regular” music (also on a side note, how crazy and ridiculous is the idea of alternative music is, like your telling me The Offspring and The Butthole Surfers are the same genre? Like come on that can’t possibly make sense to people). But regardless of my personal problems with the term alternative, I do think that this album is excellent. The lead singers vocals are not mind blowing or anything to write home about, the real magic this band has is in their actual songwriting and composition. Like the songs are so creative and fun, I just wasn’t expecting to love this album as much as I do considering it’s not as heavy as I thought it’d be. There’s just so much life in the guitars, it’s just so much fun. The twin guitars just melt my brain it sounds so original despite the fact I’ve heard lots of bands with two guitars. It’s just got something really special about it. The more I’ve looked into this band, it seems like part of their appeal is their history and troubles (similar to Big Star). I did really love this album even if I didn’t think it was like this wildly groundbreaking album. I think the craziest thing about the album is actually its freshness. Like I could easily see a indie rock dropping an album like this today. Not mindblowing, but timeless is also a great name for their rockumentary.

дрисня

i guess this was so influential that it sounds to me nothing special at all

for me, the album was pretty good, but it just wasn't my style. the best song for me is "Guiding Light." it's very different in character from the other songs on the album. "Turn Curtain" and "Friction" are also very good. id rate this album at 7/10

Un disco muy experimental y vanguardista diría yo. Un rock muy peculiar y muy artístico. No se si catalogarlo como rock progresivo o como jazz rock o como un poco de los dos porque hay pistas donde la virtuosidad destaca pero otras en donde lo experimental y la improvisación relucen. Algo muy especial y tengo que decir innovador y sumamente vanguardista. Es un sonido que, sinceramente, debo aprender a escuchar y digerir pero estoy dispuesto a escuchar más de Television después de este disco. Por mientras me quedo en un buen disco.

This is an album I want to spend more time with. I can see so many influences on bands I love coming from this band/album.

Lowkey tuff🤷‍♂️

Gitarre isch echt geil (Guiding Light, Prove it). Aber ich find alles andere isch eif nd ufem gliiche level, vorallem de sänger.

How rare to produce an album that could have been dropped any year! 1977's Marquee Moon could have been released in the 1980s as peers of Pixies, or in the 90s as peers of Pavement, or the 2000s as peers of the strokes, or the 2010s as peers of Car Seat Headrest, or the 2020s as peers of Geese.

Wow these '70s white dudes sure all sang like this huh. I immediately love the production on this album. Even something as simple as the use of stereo in the intro of See No Evil, but there's also just something so clean but loose about all the instruments. I didn't like See No Evil much but Venus instantly gripped me. Wow some of these songs sure do just go on huh. Favorite tracks: Venus, Guiding Light.

This was an education for me. I knew nothing about Television before this, but guessed I'd be listening to a punk album. It turned out so much more technical than that, and although i was still dubious after the first listen, after a second play I got a sense of how ahead of their time Television were and how their melodic style would influence bands such as The Pixies, indeed Venus sounds like a Stone Roses song. Friction and Guiding Light are other songs that demand attention. I'm not so keen on the opening and closing tracks, and Marquee Moon itself is overlong, but this would have been ground-breaking in the mid 70s and is deserving of the 4 stars I'll give it.

Not really my speed

Very cool early (pre) punk sound. Like velvet underground and other alt bands of the time. Listened to this 3 times.

i very much liked this their voices are great

I listened to half of this album before, but it didn’t stick for whatever reason. Probably because ten minute song in the middle of an album is something which usually puts me off. But this time, it definitely stuck. Wow. Those guitars are amazing throughout the whole album. I love this kind of nasally singing. And every song is unique too. The bests: See No Evil Venus Marquee Moon Elevation

Most of my favorite bands were inspired by this album in some way. And I can see why, it's not particularly interesting now, but it was then, before U2 and R.E.M hit it big. This was a pretty good listen.

Samo da je glas malo prijatniji, mislim da bi ovo bilo baš dobro. Ovako mi isto ne smeta toliko nego čujem još potencijala pa je to šteta.

3.5. bello, approvo. sarebbe un 4 stelle se non avessi settato standard così alti con sti voti

It's great. Spiky, yelpy, goes left when you expect it to go right. A rightful classic.

I have listened to this twice, and absolutely love it from front to back. What an absolutely wonderful album, each track just works on its own level. Such a delight to listen to, I've got to give this my first 5* rating. Favourites: See No Evil Venus Marquee Moon Prove It

This sounded so much like 90s/2000s rock; this album specifically reminded me of the Strokes. Not bad but also not something I’d save to listen to again.

not all prog rock is good Would I listen again: no Deserves to be on this list: nah 2.7

First time listening to it, i guess it will become 5 after some more …

it's okay but why are the songs SO LONG? 10 MINUTE SONG? WHAT?

Oh, yes, this is a delightful album. Such a great, fantastic rock album. The guitar solos are a masterpiece, the songs are marvelous, the sound of the songs is enigmatic, delicate and so catching. I am in love with this record. I truly am. This album is psychedelic, but also very classy. It has something special, because it sounds so good... I am amazed by how good this album is. And that end is glorious. What a great album to discover!

Raw, unbalanced. Not for me

Ikke min kopp med te. Fine melodier

That album was quite something. I went in knowing nothing about it, and what struck me first were the interesting chord progressions and the immaculate guitar work. The two guitars weave interconnected riffs, each doing its own thing yet combining in harmony, supported by a mellow bass that holds everything together. It defines a bold sound and fully commits to it. The song structures aren't conventional, drawing inspiration from different genres to create something that truly stands on its own. I will surely be revisiting it. My only gripe is that the instrumentals outshine the vocal delivery by miles. My favorite tracks are "Marquee Moon", "Elevation" and "Torn Curtain".

This one's pretty easy for me. Hugely influential to a bunch of my favorite music and still sounds great. tracks 2,3,4 is an incredible run that I can listen to on repeat. 5 stars for me, a real favorite

Kul att upptäcka nåt nytt!

Somewhere in the middle of my 30s I concluded that post punk was one of the subgenres that has given me the greatest moments and this album is one of the greatest. It just hits me in all the right spots.

al principio pensé q iba a estar aburrido pero me sorprendió mucho para bien, la guitarra demasiado chimba, lo único es que hay un tema de fucking DIEZ minutos, real yo pensé que lo había puesto en loop

bouais

good

It's growing on me. 5.3/10

This was a sick record I had never heard of. Guitar work was outstanding.

Extremely relaxing.

Bellissimo album

This one goes way back for me, used to play Marquee Moon at the CC Club. Love the shaggyness, angular style, sometimes math rock(?)

Arty punk in my opinion. The title track is the one to beat. A few other good ones but Marquee moon kills it

Fun rock album. Very enjoyable. 4 star.

A fascinating and influential guitar album that sounds surprisingly modern. You can immediately hear the blueprint for bands like The Strokes in the interplay between the two guitars. The riff on 'Friction' is simple but timeless, and the 10-minute title track is a genuine journey. The vocals have a unique 'New York' attitude—part Jagger swagger, part Iggy Pop spoken-word tension—which complements the angular, 'anti-blues' guitar work perfectly. It’s definitely a 'musician’s album' that rewards careful listening. I’ve rated it a strong 4, but I suspect a session with headphones might reveal even more depth in the production.

was good but not too memorable for me

Damn near perfect. Least annoying ten-plus minute song ever written.

This was cute. Nothing memorable but I enjoyed it. The song marquee moon went on a bit too long but I liked it enough

It’s fine

I can see what the album influenced but it was very meh for me.

This was an interesting listen. I heard lots of influences of The Talking Heads and Violent Femmes in there, and I like both of those bands, and I also liked this. Four stars.

No my cuppa

A Patient Zero in many ways.. Lovely!

Best album that I've 'discovered' so far.

Epic. Not heard this before!

mid 5 stars

Rv

This is a slippery one that seems to fit several categories, sort of. It has shades of new wave and alt-rock that would come years later, along with some beautiful flowing lead guitar lines. Nothing about the lyrics grabbed me, but I may come back to this one to see if there's more under the hood.

the guitars on here are so so so good. the bass is so effective and clever. vocals work really well as well. honestly such a well-made album i cant fault it. the bassist died?? so devastating bc he really was amazing.

The whole album kind just went by without me noticing. Not bad at all, but it didn't catch my interest.

rocky but repetitive... the 70s vibe is there but the production could use some work

Not sure what to say. Odd vocals.

Fun, very modern sound. A shame the title track is over ten minutes!

I LOVE THIS

Unsure why I was trying to talk myself out of giving this a 5-star review, but I couldn't do it. I loved this album. I don't know why it took so long to listen to it. I suppose it was my youthful disdain for any music made in the 70's. This laid so much of the foundation for the alternative rock scene that I have enjoyed for so many years. I actually listened to it twice in a row, I was enjoying it that much.

Je suis un grand admirateur de Television. J'aurais voulu qu'ils fassent 5 fois plus d'albums. L'alchimie des guitares de Tom Verlaine et de Richard Lloyd est une inspiration de longue date pour moi. Fred Smith le bassiste est décédé il y a 2 jours.

j'ai adoré Friction. Et en général l'album. J'ai trouvé des bouts (me semble Friction justement) qui m'ont fait penser que Wilco semble avoir pris des choses là, dans leur phase A Ghost is born. Deux guits qui font des choses vraiment cools en gros.

J'avais oublié de le noter. Mais bon quel album parfait. Le p'tit riff de guitare sur Marquee moon ne te sort pas de la tête

ar vusmendi magram kargi iyo

Think this album should have featured at points in the TV show Misfits

the album is good, the guitar is very present and well made, i feel excited when i hear, my rating is 4.3

"Marquee Moon" is another album that is great, and one that I should listen to more. From the opening track, 'See No Evil', which feels like it belongs in the grainy, black-and-white opening to a 1960s TV detective show, to its closing track, it is a compelling and engaging listen. That last song, 'Torn Curtain', is arguably the most theatrical and cinematic moment on the entire album. Radiohead and many, many others were clearly taking notes. It's a five-star listen. Side one 1 "See No Evil" (5/5) 2 "Venus" (5/5) 3 "Friction" (5/5) 4 "Marquee Moon" (5/5) Side two 1 "Elevation" (5/5) 2 "Guiding Light" (4/5) 3 "Prove It" (4/5) 4 "Torn Curtain" (5/5) Total - 38 Average - 4.75 236/1001 131/236 albums reviewed were new to me.

Great album. Nothing super stood out to me but I enjoyed the entirety of it and added every song to my Liked list.

A bit uninspiring ⭐️⭐️

Just OK

You can hear the evolutionary link form between punk and alternative rock.

Minimalist, dry, and intensely self-contained, with long guitar passages that value precision over drama. While its influence is undeniable, the album can feel emotionally distant and resistant to engagement. Its restraint reads more as limitation than discipline here.

..

i don’t actually like it that much but it’s obviously brilliant

I liked this, could benefit from a re-listen. 3.7/5.

Great guitar play and perfect amount of edge for my taste.

I’ve never listened to Television before but I knew enough about them to know I was looking forward to hearing this album, and I liked it so much I listened to the album twice today. It’s very easy to hear the influence they had on, quite frankly, a lot but The Strokes seem like an obvious one. Post punk / art rock was always going to be up my street and this period of time seems to be giving me a lot to like lately. The album gets off to a good start with See No Evil and sets the tone nicely but the title track is undoubtedly the standout, even though it clocks a good 10 mins, it doesn’t feel like it because it’s so engaging. The closer, Torn Curtain, is too - in fact, there’s nothing that goes to waste on this album. I toiled between 4 or 5 stars but I’ll stick my neck out and go for the maximum and an intention to return very soon.

Decent album. Not sure why it's so influential but it is. I've just read Thurston Moore's book and he references his love of Television multiple times. So I'll take his lead on this one.

Definitely worth listening to.

English punk is just not my thing

I can see how influential this has been and I did like it, it didn’t quite have that X factor to really capture my attention though. I imagine this would be a grower rather than a shower ad there is quite a lot going on. 3.5

Just a little better than ok.

I knew how important they are, and I have heard some of the songs, but I had never heard the album from front to back. That is shame on me and one of the reasons I started this project. I hear all the bands I love(d) as a kid in here but I also hear a great, better than great, album. Will definitely make this part of my long term rotation.

An album I'd read about but never heard a single note from. I was wary given its New York and art punk tags - two terms which rarely go well together or on their own - but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great riffs, good music, but a shame the vocals are an abomination. An album which could have been five stars had the rest of the group took a stand and said 'yeah, but you're recruiting an actual singer'.

Was not expecting this to be so proggy. Love the production of this era, and the vibe of this was great it just didn’t capture me with a song that I rememeber. Solid 3

It would be a five-star album for ¨Marquee Moon¨ alone. The perfect song for when you're stoned and want to take a ten minute, 38 second shower. Don't take my word for it. People think punk just sounded like the Ramones and Pistols but it was so much more...

Sounded real good, and plays like the first indie rock album, 30 years before indie rock was a thing.

It felt like early post punk rock music. It has a pioneering aspect to it's sound. Musical history relevance more so than a great listen, for me.

i’m convinced this guy doesn’t like quality vocals when it comes to music. just continuous off brand orgasms to titillate his auditory thirst. i’m quenched from whatever foul tasting beverage i’m being served. QUENCHED!

It's alright.

Brilliant. Excellent album. The guitars are superb

I liked this one quite a bit. Marquee Moon I had heard several times, but the rest of it was good. Just a few soft spots but will definitely put this on rotation.

I definitely didn't think a CB's band would get jammy like this, but sure enough they do (not in the Dead sense, thankfully.) As someone who frequented CBGB in its waning years to see hardcore bands, the early years of the club just never had much cachet with me. Blondie and Patti Smith were firmly outside of my hard and fast sensibilities and the Ramones simply weren't fast enough. Among those acts sat Television and they were easily the most peripheral band of the bunch for me. The playing is fantastic on here. Interpol and The Strokes owe everything to Television.

I was wanted to hear these guys. I thought it would be weirder, but it's great Taking Heads style jangle art rock.

Soooooo ahead of it's time. It took 20+ years for anything even close within the genre. They perfected the Indie rock sound decades before the genre technically existed. And what happened to Art Punk?

Always meant to listen but never did. Next level guitar leads here. Love it.

1. See No Evil (1,7) 2. Venus (1,5) 3. Friction (1,7) 4. Marquee Moon (1,8) 5. Elevation (1,1) 6. Guiding Light (2,0) 7. Prove It (1,1) 8. Torn Curtain (1,3)

The title track remains absolutely godly. Some really cool stuff in here instrumentally, proper jangly goodness but I don’t know if I love the vocal style for an entire 45 min album

I do believe it's a good album, but it just doesn't sit right with me at the moment. Maybe I will come back to it someday, but for now it just feels like it went in one ear and out it other.

I really loved this album, and while it was long, Marquee Moon (the song) was awesome and kept me engaged throughout. Would definitely play this again.

Ok. ★★★

Average 1001 Albums listening experience. Not bad, not great, just alright.
