Marquee Moon

Not as bad as I was expecting. The 2 side closers are a bit tedious, come across like a new wave band trying to do prog. But the rest of the album is OK. Can certainly hear the influence it had.

Pretty cool different album. Id listen again although not life changing pretty sweet

It was okay. It picked up more for me towards the end, but I don’t think it’s an album I think I’d run to relisten to, you know?

Another example for an influential record, that i personally don't enjoy as much as I would like to. Tom Verlains voice and singing are not great, the band's performance isn't exactly smooth, so it's only occasionally the energy that gets me.

6/10… art rock / *1977

I was really looking forward to this, but after listening, it seems really overhyped

This is a hard one to rate I do like some of the songs and some others I could take or leave. The thing that really struck me was how modern this album sounds, this could be released today and would not sound out of place in the indie garage scene. If it were released today I would think it’s not very groundbreaking but I can only imagine what they thought back in the day. I can definitely see why it was respected when released and why it’s still so widely regarded.

Marquee Moon

To be honest, I kinda struggle with this vein of punk. Not because I don't like it, it's good and entertaining, but when albums like this are so highly rated I often feel like I'm missing something. To an extent, I'd rather not rate this, but the 1001 Albums website forces you to unless you put "Did not listen", so I'll rate it there but not on AOTY. But anyway, the album is actually really groovy and I think I can sort of hear how the guitar work inspired other stuff and it does sound quite fresh for the time, especially when I consider my wider knowledge of the period. Other than that though, something about the sound feels a little lacking in the energy I'd expect from the genre that also creates hardcore punk, something I find often with a lot of punk, especially the highly rated stuff, although this made up for that with the interesting riffs which created some more energy than I find in those other punk albums. Other than that, I quite like how the songs develop but some of them do run on a bit longer than they need to in my opinion, but I'll try to come back to this soon, I just don't know when I'll have the time/energy for it. One last thing - I do wonder if one day I'll suddenly click with this kind of punk like I have with post-rock and that whole ecosystem this year. I hope I do.

this was a mixed reaction for me, I liked the musicality and instrumentals of the songs…..it’s the lead vocalist voice for me. I didn’t like his voice. Maybe listening to the album a second or third time I’ll truly like it

Not bad but also not really doing anything for me; kinda boring

Four stars for the music, two stars for the vocalist. Put that together and... Probably not something I will go back to again, but I wouldn't turn it off if it came up on a jukebox.

Some songs are better than others but it's a strong album. Never heard of them before and I know I'm going to end up listening again to get a better feeling. First pass though it's enjoyable.

Es ist ein schlanker, drahtiger Klassiker der New‑York‑Szene, der heute vor allem durch seinen präzisen, klaren 70er‑Klang auffällt. Television kombinieren nervöse Gitarrenlinien, Tom Verlaines spitzes Vibrato und eine fast mathematische Rhythmik zu einem Sound, der gleichzeitig kühl und hypnotisch wirkt. Der Titelsong ist natürlich das Monument – ein endloser Gitarrenaufstieg, der sich wie ein nächtlicher Spaziergang durch Manhattan anfühlt. Doch als Album wirkt Marquee Moon manchmal etwas einseitig: brillant gespielt, aber emotional distanziert, mehr Kopf als Bauch.

Really good guitar, just a clean solid rock album to me beyond that. Top songs: Friction, Marquee Moon, Elevation

Marquee Moon Television 1977 Genres: Rock, Punk Styles: New Wave, Alternative Rock, Art Rock, Experimental, Psychedelic Rock 1. See No Evil (★★★★★) -Contexto: Una declaración de principios. Habla de escapar de la ceguera cotidiana y buscar algo más auténtico. Mezcla ansiedad urbana con una sensación de libertad inminente. -Fav 2. Venus (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: Una de las letras más poéticas del álbum. Usa imágenes surrealistas para hablar de la belleza, la fascinación y el deseo. Más que contar una historia, transmite una sensación casi onírica. 3. Friction (★★★★☆) -Contexto: Trata sobre la tensión emocional, el conflicto interno y las relaciones marcadas por la incomodidad y la confrontación. Musicalmente refleja esa fricción mediante guitarras cada vez más intensas. 4. Marquee Moon (★★★★★) -Contexto: El centro del disco. Un viaje nocturno por una ciudad llena de misterio donde el protagonista parece experimentar una especie de revelación espiritual. La letra es deliberadamente críptica; importa más la sensación de descubrimiento que una narrativa lineal. -Fav 5. Elevation (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: Habla de ascender, cambiar de perspectiva y buscar un estado superior de conciencia. Tiene un aire optimista dentro del tono generalmente inquieto del álbum. 6. Guiding Light (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: La balada del disco. Una reflexión sobre el amor perdido y la esperanza de encontrar una luz que oriente cuando todo parece desmoronarse. Es la canción más emocional y directa. 7. Prove It (★★★⯨☆) -Contexto: Inspirada parcialmente en relatos policiales y novelas negras. El narrador desafía a alguien a demostrar la verdad detrás de una historia o un crimen. Combina misterio con una energía casi detectivesca. 8. Torn Curtain (★★★★☆) -Contexto: El cierre más oscuro del álbum. Habla de finales, separación y desilusión. La "cortina rasgada" simboliza la pérdida de las ilusiones y el momento en que ya no es posible ocultar la realidad. -TOTAL = ★★★⯨☆ (3,81) -Debería ser un 4 estrellas por redondeo, pero me sonó más como un 3.

Ok, n tem como um rock dos anos 70 ser ruim.

Nice album. Was not familiar with them.

Probably deserves more attention from me. I’m kind of over the sound that this albums specializes in; however, I can tell that it is a top tier album of its genre.

This was fine, not bad or anything, but nothing really special either. It’s like if I went to YouTube and asked it to find me some generic classic rock.

Wasn't impressed at first, seeming like a run-of-the-mill post-punk album, but that all changed real quick. From Friction onwards it's nothing but gas, with the title track in particular being a journey on its own!! Real close to a 4 on this one. Standouts: Friction • Marquee Moon • Guiding Light • Prove It • Torn Curtain

As 70s psychedelic rock goes...it's fine? I guess?

Not sticking for me

It did sound a bit generic and like every other rock act from this era, however there were times with some good riffs and tunes to keep me interested

Richard Hell is the archetypal punk. Perhaps just THE punk. Maybe just punk. Richard Hell IS punk. Confrontational. Sloppy. Transgressive. Spontaneous. He comes in spurts. There was none more idealistically incendiary, none more philosophically jagged. He invented the safety pin look. He lived the attitude that Malcolm McLaren would reconstruct for the Sex Pistols. Sure, it was a contrivance when Hell did it, but it was his contrivance. He was the original. The Sine Qua Non. And thank god he left Television in 1975. It is hard to imagine that Verlaine's gorgeous lines and transcendent solos would have made it past Hell's bullshit detector. His bullshit detector was faulty. His bullshit detector was bullshit. The gentle pretensions of Marquee Moon are warm and pleasing. Fred Smith's bass isn't fancy, but it is tasty. Verlaine's voice is weak, but it does exactly what it needs to do: hide behind those neatly interlocking guitars. I don't need to know what he's singing about, because this isn't about attitude - it's a considered guitar record and the attitude, to the extent attitude is present, is disciplined, precise, and gentle. Lester Bangs compared Television to Quicksilver Messenger Service. That's also bullshit. It's punk posturing too. There is a version of rock criticism where the two poles of Hell and Verlaine, two best friends who "hated each other as only best friends can," as Hell said, are equally necessary. Where they are forces that balance each other out. A simplified theory of John and Paul explains away the Beatles in such a way. But there is a simpler truth style: Verlaine is better. Perhaps he needed Hell to jumpstart him. Perhaps there is an opposing force that would challenge him or push him into more exploratory territory. But it wasn't Richard Hell. And it wasn't punk. He didn't do better than this, for better or worse. 3.5 We had CCR‘s Green River the other day, which I really enjoyed. I didn’t mention it in my review but when I was listening to that album it occurred to me that CCR might be an example of a band whose music I thoroughly admire even though I don’t particularly care for any of their songs. It‘s a tricky distinction to make which is why I didn’t bother. If I like the music I like the record - if I like the ‚track‘ I must perforce like the ‚song‘ etc. on the surface it’s a terminological problem and why waste too much time thinking or writing about that? Well here’s the same pickle again. I admire Television‘s music. They keep their identity as a rock band while striking out for new ideas in arrangement and texture. They are really good, creative players. I can happily listen all the way through Marquee Moon without feeling a drop in quality. Yet, there isn’t a song/track here that I honestly care about. To be fair to CCR - there are key differences in the two situations. So much of CCR is based on blues procedure; that more than anything is why I say I don’t admire their ‚songs‘ even while I actually delight in listening to Keep on Chooglin‘ or Tombstone Shadow or even Bad Moon Rising because they are such enjoyable, creative players. That background procedure isn’t the problem with Television, but there is other baggage that I think weighs them right down. I can’t listen to Marquee Moon without thinking about the Rolling Stones. Tom has a fair bit of Jagger in his voice and the band, committed, as I say, to keeping a core band sound tick along with something of the Stones‘ relaxed, unfussy interplay of relatively clean guitar sounds. It also presumably doesn’t help that an ex-Stones engineer is behind the desk. Well perhaps the open invitation ought to be resisted - Marquee Moon is a debut album, and how unreasonable it then is to listen on the Stones’ terms rather than Television’s. Well what can I say? It’s hard to resist. Marquee Moon’s not anywhere near as enjoyable as Sticky Fingers or Exile I think to myself as I go along. Silly me. There is another oppressive ghost when Marquee Moon plays, however. And this one isn’t quite as silly and easily dismissed as the last. I can’t listen to Marquee Moon without thinking about Patti Smith’s Horses. That album haunts everywhere here; in the ambition, cued from the Velvets, to render rock music as a more challenging form of art, and especially in Tom Verlaine‘s vocal (sometime comically so) and in his lyrics which have all the poetic aspiration of Smith‘s, without any of the power and purpose. Marquee Moon is a good album and is always celebrated as a distinctive album. I understand that, but I can’t feel that. It always feels to me that Marquee Moon‘s distinctiveness can be had better somewhere else. 2.5/5

C'est super agréable à écouter, juste un excellent album de rock, maîtrisé, fun, bien produit, pas un classique pour rien. J'ai entendu des trucs qui m'ont plus impressionné à la même époque donc je le mettrais pas dans mon top personnel mais je pense que c'est quand même un incontournable qui a sa place dans ce top 1001

Ben groot fan van dat nummer Marque Moon, maar het album als geheel is een beetje mwah

Why is this band punk? It’s not bad, and so far I like it. But it feels like the Clash but not as wimpy of a sound. I love the bass line on Venus. I don’t get the hype. I think I need another listen.

I'm glad to have heard it. Not sure I'll remember it. It's fine but nothing I'd seek out.

"Marquee Moon" is a great song. And that's it.

#40 Some good, some meh. The title track is great, and the second half of the album is much better than the first. I can definitely see how this influenced later alt-rock and indie-rock bands.

A perfectly nice listen but just didn’t feel the impact of the overall experience. A bit too samey all the way through which caused me to switch off slightly.

An interesting listen for the level of detail in the melodies

Review - classic art rock album. The well known songs on it are very good. There's a bit of chaff in there too. Also I don't think it would be so well regarded if it wasn't for their association with CBGB. It gets called post punk but I don't think it's doing anything that Brian Eno wasn't doing a year or two earlier. Score - 7/10 Need to listen? YES

Great musicianship and melodies by the rest of the band, but the lead singer's voice is profoundly unpleasant and annoying. It sounds like your drunken co-worker trying to do a Mick Jagger impression at a karaoke bar.

Nothing too special. Last song is a vibe though.

It was ok........ Vocals not really my thing. Would've loved it if I was drunk though

A respectable entry in this genre but honestly not a standout for me.

Eh, not my vibe but I suppose it's good for what it is. Kind of punk-adjacent.

6/10

This album does not appear in my version of the book, so was a bit of a surprise, not unpleaseantly so. I'd never heard of Calexico until today. Reminds me musically in parts of Zorn or maybe I'm misremembering. Not a huge fan of the Mariachi sound. Quattro (World Drifts In) Black Heart Pepita Woven Birds

Marquee Moon is a record that reveals itself slowly and honestly, which is either a virtue or a limitation depending on what you're after. By the end it has grown into something real — the guitar interplay between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd opens up gradually, the Stones-inflected looseness becomes more audible, the ten-minute title track earns its length in a way that In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida's drum solo decidedly does not. And yet grown-on-me doesn't quite get it to four, which is its own useful piece of information. The Wilco connection is the clearest entry point. The extended instrumental passages — exploratory rather than showy, built from interlocking melodic lines rather than riffs — draw a fairly direct line to what Tweedy and Nels Cline would do decades later on records like A Ghost Is Born. Hearing Television is hearing an ancestor, which gives the listen genuine context beyond pure historical importance. The guitar interplay here isn't musicianship for its own sake; it's a conversation, and the conversation is interesting. What keeps it at three is Verlaine's voice, which operates in the same art-school angular territory as David Byrne — the singer slightly outside the song, observing rather than inhabiting. That approach has created consistent distance throughout this project, and it does the same work here. The instrumental world pulls you in; the vocal world holds you at arm's length. A respectful three with real texture underneath it — more genuine connection than most records that land here, but a ceiling it can't quite break through.

Pretty good nothing that blew me away

Nog wel nice

Solid late 70s vibe

Expectation: -> Seemingly, another obscure band/album. Hoping this is as good as yesterday's surprise. After listening: -> Like the title track, though not all 10:36 of it. Overall, I feel that the vocals hold this band back. Some of the guitar and drumming is quite good. The longer I listen the more I enjoy this. Not a bad song to be found here. Almost giving this a 4 (might I regret not?). Track ranking: Venus Moon Prove Elevation Evil Light Friction Curtain

It’s ok. 3 songs I liked.

Me ha gustado, pero not my style

Fascinating, but more homework than fun. Title track goes hard though.

Альбом №1 Как я и думал такая музыка будет для меня звучать однотипно, видимо в силу моего музыкального невежества, собственно поэтому я здесь Добавил 1 трек из 8, заглавный - Marquee Moon, не смотря на длительность слушался интересно, особенно зацепила гитара в перебивках между куплетами, если так можно выразится Итого 2,5-3 из 5

Pretty good. “I have a lil leather jacket but I’m sad I live in the big dirty city”, à la the Strokes

ich mag es. Es ist aber nichts erstaunliches. Man kann sehr schnell vergessen, dass man die Lieder hört (also eher als Hintergrundmusik).

Another okay '70s Rock album but no organ and psychedelic feel this time.

Interesting, but not sure if from front to back it's phenomenal .

Heard Marquee moon before, it really holds up mix wise and you can hear that it probably was an influence on the indie scene. Though the singers voice gets a bit annoying for my taste and I don't really remember any of the tracks except the title track. Still good quality on the writing

Something to play in the background.

This was okay

A tour de force of 70s rock. Bass on Elevation was delightful

You can hear the influence in a lot of the 90s/00s rock bands.

Only got about halfway through, but I did enjoy what I heard!

This is for people who want to listen to The Rolling Stones but hate the British. A solid vibe album, but nothing special.

Nowhere near as amazing as some people would have you believe. Sounds like Talking Heads might have if they only had one idea. I mean, it's ok, but it's not the life-changing experience it is hyped up to be.

Enjoyable enough. When I saw a ten minute track I feared it might be self indulgent, but it actually flows nicely.

If mick jagger joined the who

Meh...

Most of the music was fine, but I had a hard time getting over the lead singer's voice as it grated on my nerves. Really not a fan of his voice. My least favorite song was "Torn Curtain".

Early punk band. First punk band to play CBGB. Debut album. Pitchfork: 10 Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #107 Best Songs Marquee Moon

They are all pretty good but torn curtains is the best

Skibidi

It’s alright. Nothing too special, but instrumentation is great. Vocals are a little rough, but still good. Title track is best of the album

Muy rock de la época

Pretty fun, crazy to hear that opening lick on Marquee Moon that I feel like has just been part of my entire life?

3/5

kind of a nothing burger

Never heard of them, but a pretty good album.

Decent

The really striking thing about finally sitting down properly with Marquee Moon is that my objection to it isn’t that it’s incompetent, unintelligent or historically unimportant. In fact, the opposite problem kept recurring. The band can plainly play. The room sound is excellent - dry, close, unshowy, musicians in an actual small space rather than prog fog or FM-radio bloat. There are moments where the guitars suddenly chime and hover spectrally and you can hear entire future strands of alternative guitar music opening up. REM are all over this record in embryo. So are later guitar bands who treat texture and atmosphere as architecture rather than decoration. But I kept returning to the same objection: the compositional intelligence never seems to match the instrumental intelligence. That sounds harsher than intended. The album is full of good moments. “Friction” finally introduces enough abrasion and nervous energy to justify its insistence. “Guiding Light” relaxes into proper FM-radio melancholy and becomes genuinely comforting. The title track itself even opens promisingly - the interrupted guitar figure and displaced drum fill hint at the sort of structural intelligence that post-punk and new wave would soon make central. There are repeated flashes where the record seems on the verge of becoming leaner, stranger and more modern than it ultimately chooses to be. But again and again, the songs establish an idea, an atmosphere or a figure and then simply continue while the guitars are allowed to elaborate. I don’t object to long songs in principle - I happily listen to Beethoven’s Ninth voluntarily - but duration demands justification. What labour is this section performing? What changes? What develops? Too often here, the answer seems to be “continued tasteful inhabitation of the state.” That, I suspect, is why the album has always felt oddly reactionary to me in spite of its canonical status as a revolutionary text. Not reactionary politically, obviously, but aesthetically. Punk and post-punk increasingly rediscovered composition as editing, structure, interruption, information density and economy. Television often seem to respond to this shift with “yes, but…” - yes, but articulate guitar interplay still matters; yes, but extension still carries significance; yes, but we’d quite like to preserve some of the old privileges of rock musicianship if possible. Hence the strange sensation that the sleeve promises a harsher, more economical record than the one actually contained within it. The visual language suggests modernist reduction, but the music retains a lingering faith in expressive guitar continuation that feels much older. More than once I found myself thinking that this wasn’t so much a blueprint for post-punk as an abstraction of Neil Young - the sprawl retained, the dirt removed, the wound intellectualised. And yet I can also hear why people love it. The ambience is right. The city-at-night mood is right. Verlaine’s voice carries genuine neurotic yearning in places, and when the guitars stop sounding merely articulate and become haunted instead, the whole thing briefly lifts into something genuinely transporting. The problem is that the album rarely trusts brevity, interruption or mutation enough. It remains too languid. Too willing to continue. Which may explain why, after two hours inside its world, autoplay throwing on Sunny Afternoon felt like someone opening a window. Ray Davies establishes a character, a social world, a melody, a joke and a mood in the time Television take to decide whether the guitars have quite finished speaking yet. Still, I’m glad I finally listened to it properly. Even if my final judgement remains something like: excellent textures, strong atmosphere, historically important, occasionally beautiful - but ideologically unsound in its lingering faith that prolonged guitar discourse is inherently meaningful.

Liked a lot of what was going on with the guitar, and the title track is pretty good. But nothing else really stood out that much to me

Melkosen pliisua perus rock artpop kamaa. Tuntuu että näitä artisteja ja levyjä on aivan hirvee läjä, ehkä tää on originaalia. Ei oikein suuria sanottavia

Kinda weird an annoying at a point. It’s either you’re already into it or you let it grow on you. Bot bad tbh

Nice vibey rock album

At first, I wasn't into this album but it picks up speed and becomes a solid album. I hadn't heard of Television. I enjoyed the early punk noise and the chug of their rythem.

They have a good buildup in their songs, but most didn’t appeal to me that much

I tried to listed to this at the end of the day when very tired and hated it. Tried again in the morning and can see the attraction!

I listened to this album the way I listen to many albums. In the background while I was working. I was quite looking forward to it based on the name of the artist and the cover image. Unfortunately, it did nothing for me. It wasn't good or bad enough to stand out in any meaningful way. 3 stars

Talking Head Core, норм, наверн не знал бы ТХ было бы круто, но так -это крепкая 7ка

First time I’m hearing band and album. Not really my genre then or now. Glad I was I introduced, but it is not something I’ll go back to. 0 songs added to playlist.

Favorite Track: Elevation

The Strokes de 1977

Alright album. I like the guitar parts but his voice was sometimes annoying lol. Torn Curtain was definitely my favorite tho. 5.5/10.

I’m listening to this album thinking how it’s cool and stripped down and chill, and so, curious, I search info about the band only to find out they are a PUNK ROCK Band!?! 🤯 If this is punk rock I guess I need to re-learn what punk rock is. V good listen 3.9 stars

Carried unfortunately

Really enjoyed but also ended up zoning it out a little. But I think that’s a good sign rather than a bad thing

Me gustó. Juegan mucho con los instrumentales.

First half was great, could hear the inspiration it gave later bands especially The Strokes. Second half was boring.

This is a much stronger debut than Talking Heads 77. So what happened to Television?

I know 'See No Evil' and "Marquee Moon" well, standard late 70s punk rock. It's good for its ilk

This wasn't bad. The title track reminded me of a better version of the rolling stones mixed with a bit of talking heads. The singer doesn't have the (good) presence of David Byrne or the (shit) presence of Mick Jagger so it's somewhere in between, but the instrumentation is good. It goes on a long time like a solid post-<genre> song should but the solos are pretty decent, so it doesn't feel like a ten minute song despite being one. The rest of the album isn't nearly as nuanced and almost sounds derivative of other bands, but I think these guys were some of the first to perform this style, so maybe I've got it backwards. It definitely sound more like an 80's record than a 70's one so they were pushing some boundaries.

I like this kind of punk. "Art punk" apparently.

hat mich nicht gestört. teilweise eindrucksvoll. aber auch kein bedürfnis es nochmal zu hören

Zwei geile Songs, der Rest war lame

was funky! had it on quietly as background noise but i liked the instrumentation and mixing a lot

Not bad, just not a lot of variety. 3/5

Not my thing and a little bit annoying voice, but strange piece for the 70’s and this is remarkable.

Solid listen; solid transitional rock album

вау

I liked the sort of punky feeling - its unique and fun i could imagine listening to this back then and going wtfffffff. Pretty cool 🤷‍♂️

Kinda cool, I understand how influential it is

I only really knew this band as a historical influence on a lot of other bands apparently, and that the guitar player played on Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend album, which was some impeccable guitar playing. Girlfriend was significantly better than this, but cool ya know. I also see the Strokes comparison with the guitars. But decent vocals go a long way with me. Sure I guess?

There are several iconic groups and performers from punk's early days that I understand deserve respect, but I don't especially like. Patti Smith is the ringleader of this cohort, which also includes Television. (I like Marquee Moon way more than Horses, though.) "See No Evil" and the title track are solid, though I don't think these songs need to run so long. 3.5 stars.

bit of enjoyable noise

lindo sonido canciones fav marque moon, elevation y venus. 3.7

It was gonna be a two, but then the album was in my dream last night so I think that’s the universe telling me it should at least be a three

Decent

Really awesome guitar riffs. I wanna see them at CBGB

It's got good vibes

Never really got into Television, but had listened to this album a few times before. A lot of the musicians I love were heavily influenced by this band and album. I think it's the vocals that obstruct me from enjoying it as much as I could. The music is pretty great.

No me gustó mucho

Odd rock, not too shabby, but also not technically that impressive either.

I didn't know that band but I really like it.

Instruments were great, but the vocals were not hitting for me, brings the rating down quite a lot. It was kind of proggy, and I love prog, but the singer was really getting in the way of my full enjoyment of this album. Could've been amazing, but it fell short.

Interesting to listen to but no bangers.

Liked Venus a lot. I was gonna drag that solo on Marquis Moon until it got to the most beautiful gorgeous mournful harmonic section. Chorus arpeggio on prove it brought me to my knees in Planet Fitness. Kinda Todd Rundgren vibes on many tracks. I can totally hear a lot of 2000s rock influences here. Something I’m not connecting w here is the Rocky Horrorian vibe and Patti Smithery…but I can tell this is a cornerstone of a lot of stuff I love- Beach House Strokes Modest Mousey.

Very well structured album, just not my style of music. Thought it was kinda repetitive too.

Quite enjoyed this one. Rock n roll?

Notables: - Marquee Moon - Torn Curtain

The album isn’t that bad, I could easy have this playing in the background and I would be content

Groupe considéré comme très influent pour le monde du punk et du rock alternatif. Ils sortaient des conventions du rock normal avec des touches de jazz notamment. Belle découverte, c'est quand même dans mes cordes. 2eème moitié de l'album plus softy.

TV on the Moon, not to be confused with TV on the Radio

I loved the instrumentals but I really hate these punk/proto punk vocals.

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!

Not my style but I understand why people like 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

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

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

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

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.

*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

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

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.

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.

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

Wel leuk

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)

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

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

Solid album that I never heard before. Demands another 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Fun album, more my speed than other recent albums.

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

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

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

Eh? Correct?

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.

It’s fine like the guitar riffs

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.

Favorite Track: Marquee Moon

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

It was fine. Venus was remarkable.

Ok

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

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

6 - AVERAGE

A little too much art for my punk

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.

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

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.

i very much liked this their voices are great

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

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

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

Ikke min kopp med te. Fine melodier

It's growing on me. 5.3/10

was good but not too memorable for me

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

A Patient Zero in many ways.. Lovely!

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.

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

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.

Just a little better than ok.

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's alright.

Ok. ★★★

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

6.5

Another album I can chalk up to just not being my bag. The title track held my attention, but otherwise any time that I felt it slightly hooking me with a motif, it quickly lost it. It's hard not to feel ignorant when I'm writing about music like this, but it just does absolutely nothing for me.

Album No. 0136 on my list. Before listening to “Marquee Moon”, I had never heard of either the album or the band Television itself. So the whole thing was completely new to me… … and I found it, well, okay. I certainly don’t think that it is a bad album, but I’m also not entirely sure what to make of it. The songs were not all too catchy, but then again, I kinda like this Jazz-Rock combination that is so prominent on “Marquee Moon”, and I also like the singer’s style of singing. So, to summarize, the whole thing is not really spectacular, but still solid and interesting. I will add “See No Evil”, “Venus”, and “Marquee Moon” (the title track) to my playlist. 3/5 stars.

Good fav song marque moon

First listen made me think 'Talking Heads Light'

An album I recognised that I’ve often seen referred to as a foundation of alternative music - but never heard. It was fine, but felt like I should have liked it more than I did.

it’s alr not my fave idk if id listen again

4/10 Instrumentals were simplistic but catchy, nothing complicated about the solos. The vocals were very much of the 70's early punk era, a little abrasive, but that's the point. As a fan of other bands from this time/genera (Ramones/Clash) I have to say I was a little disappointed, but by no means was this a "bad" album.

Hot take: this album is good but not great. It on occasion slips perilously close to tedious due to long songs with no real change of pace and Torn curtain is a weak closer. Overall I like it and standout songs like the title track are excellent but overall it’s a solid album not a classic for me. 3.5

loove the riff on Marquee Moon. Torn Curtain is also really good.

Não faz muito meu gosto. Até gostei do instrumental, mas depois da faixa principal "Marquee Moon" ele decai muito. "Friction" foi a minha favorita do álbum.

It's a shame that I strongly dislike Valeraine's vocals, because I think his vision for this album is a strong one. However, his lack of tone overpowers much of the technical and interesting instrumental arrangements throughout this music. Marquee Moon and Prove It were among few songs for which I could ignore his vocals enough to enjoy the music, but the rest of the tracks were a struggle to enjoy what his singing left behind.

I’ve listened to Television’s Marquee Moon twice before, and both times, I wasn’t very impressed with it. I know it’s supposed to be this landmark album in post punk and new wave, but I just didn’t hear anything noteworthy when I listened to it. I’m not jazzed about giving this album a third chance, but maybe today will be the time this album finally clicks with me. Here’s hoping the third time really is a charm! My appreciation for Marquee Moon grew a little bit today, but this album still isn’t really my cup of tea. I think the guitar playing and the arrangement of the guitar hooks on this album is pretty brilliant, but as a matter of personal taste, I really like to hear something else in the mix when the guitar sound is as angular as this. I think that’s why I’m more likely to gravitate towards Joy Division and New Order when it comes to post punk or The Cars and Duran Duran when it comes to New Wave music; those guys use keyboards and synths to flesh out their sound more, and it creates some really lush arrangements, which Television just doesn’t do. On top of that, I really don’t care for Tom Verlaine’s vocals very much. His style of singing is really flat, and over the course of this album, his vocals just became pretty grating to me. As far as the best songs on this album are concerned, I liked “Friction” and “Guiding Light” quite a bit, with “Guiding Light” being my favorite over all. The guitars on “Friction” were really good, and there was a lot to take in with the multiple guitar hooks. On “Guiding Light,” I loved the bright guitar tones. Even though this album isn’t really suited to my tastes, it was interesting to try to pick out what other bands might have been influenced by this album. I can definitely see Talking Heads taking inspiration from this album, as well as the Greg Kihn Band (there was some guitar playing that really reminded me of “The Breakup Song” on side one of this album). I wish I loved this album, but it’s just not for me.

The vibe reminds me a little of David Bowie, maybe a little more punk. Fun listen.

Not clear what the hard on is for this band I've never heard of. I admit it sounds more timeless than a lot of the 1970s wankery this list has exposed me to, but the music wasn't ultimately all that compelling despite multiple listens. I probably liked 'Venus' the most but that's largely based on the nostalgia of a friend putting it on a mix CD 20+ years ago. Otherwise not sure I'll remember this a week from now.

really not memorable.

Ummm I dont even really remember this, however I know that the vibes were really cool. Im not a punk girlie (at least not the chill 70's punk) so I didn't really find it THAT good, but it was chill background noise.

An okay album, very 70s rock but nothing stood out to me. Like it's an easy listen, but nothing too special

yahoooo! yippeeeee! (I fear my music taste is not discerning nor critical)

the songs are sooo long

This is one of those albums that ticks all the boxes for something I love. But I struggle to love it. I feel the same about a lot of the new wave stuff, maybe I just prefer post punk

Bra grejer. Mycket velvet underground!

- Gøyale gitarsoloer - Marquee Moon er banger som varer og varer - Bra, men litt wanky og gammelt uten retro

Totally enjoyable listen, it just felt very down-the-middle for me. I can’t say too much negatively about the sound, just nothing that hooked me too much. Best Track: Marquee Moon

Сложно сказать чем мне запомнился мне этот альбом, мне понравились переходы между основными партиями

Liked some of the slower songs, could have done with a bit more light and shade. I found the vocals slightly annoying

I liked the disjointed bridges and drum syncopation.

It was pretty all right background music. I kind of forgot ai was listening to it, but that's better than dreading the next song ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Achei bem produzido, rock básico, mas não é bem meu estilo

More like Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd than pennywise or nofx

I didn't care much for the vocals and think they did not interact well with the music. I really like the guitar riffs, especially in "Marquee Moon". I really like how warm and bright it sounds. It does remind me a little bit of some prog-rocky things such as some of Mike Oldfield's stuff.

It’s a very melody heavy soundtrack. I’m on the first song rn and god THE GUITAR. it’s awesome i love the little solos it sounds good. The singer has quite a unique voice and it reminds me of the singer from talking heads— it gives early ‘The Killers’ vibes imo like early as in hot flush. Venus is ok i don’t how the singer doesn’t have thaaat much range but the instrumental is pretty good! also why is it about drugs how many albums about drugs will i have to listen too before spotify thinks im a heroin addict?? Friction has a GREAT start the guitar once again takes the spotlight in all my reviews haha. Ok i can’t stop talking about it but the riffs toooo it’s awesome. Friction is also good !! but guys why does the lead vocal have no range like it’s not even singing some times just saying it with some twang . Marquee Moon!! the song of the album!! The little melody on the guitar it’s awesome especially in the bridge ohhh my lord . Im a fan of the chorus it’s very climactic and YES the singer did something slightly different. Still the music stands out more than the singer. UH-UH (crying) The intro to elevation has me ascending it sounds like a heart beat or just something from the intro to a medical drama. STOP IS THAT A TAMBOURINE??? i’ve never heard a tambourine in a song where it wasn’t the spotlight i like that that’s new!! Guiding lights gives Mr brightside vibes from the start of the track but stops once the singer joins in. Stop guys I don’t mean to bash the singer so much genuinely it’s just my enjoyment in the music and the singer is polar. PLEASE this could be such a good song but i can’t get on with the singer i feel bad. Cause like the music at the end of guiding lights goes up a few octaves BUT HE DOESNT please dude. Prove it is such a sweet little jam and i love the intro like all the other songs and the outro. I think it might be my favourite of the track it’s so layered and pretty in the best way possible. God these songs are so long i’ve just realised Torn curtain is 7 minutes long. The bridge is SO GOOD. rest of the song was alright. Ok so my opinions are sighh split. The actual instrument and musical part o the tracks? AWESOME the intricate guitar work is so pretty and it’s incredibly well layered and good mix between jazz and the punk rock this eras from. I’ve now learnt this song inspired the talking heads which makes a lot of sense. If it wasn’t for the vocals i think i’d adore this album but the vocalist just isn’t for me. He feels flat and thin and strangled against the pretty instruments and it creates a contrast that’s too harsh for me to appreciate. He’s pretty monotone and just doesn’t fit with me he reminds me of the band mcaffery, i don’t listen to them as much anymore but liked when i was like 13. Maybe if you’d shown this to me when i was 13 i would’ve liked it more but yeah. pretty songs and well layered and amazing guitarists but the vocals are not my favourite. It’s painful how much potential it had but the singer is incredibly punk and maybe that isn’t for me. Best tracks: Prove it, Elevation Worst track: Torn curtain

Sympa 3.5

Not so bad

Enjoyed this.

Not bad just not my vibe

Didn’t get a chance to listen to it extensively, but the angular guitars and vocal style are sonically not for me. I know it’s a very influential album (can definitely hear some Elastica there), but a lot of it kinda sounded like noodling on a guitar on the edge of being about to stumble on a killer riff.

cool, but not extraordinary didnt enjoy the singers voice too much

Not for me

Liked the sound nothing too memorable about it

Very good surprise

As of listening to this, I'm really enjoying it. He vocal performance for the main singer is unique, but fits the overall pink aesthetic it's going for. And it achieves that very well. It has really heavy guitar riffs, feeling like they have weight to them and the drums work simultaneously with them

7/10 - частично слушал(вроде как)

Not my typical genre but excellent in said genre, very vibey kinda sexy in a confused way. Very long songs which long musical interludes which I also liked overall probably a three

Above average. 6 "I Don't Know What Happened There Jander"s out of 10 Super Glentendos

No private session used for Spotify. I have tried to listen to this album before and I am familiar with some of the songs on it, but have an issue with the singer's voice. I tried to get past that and focus on the music, which was good, rocking but not bland straight forward mindless rock, there was some tightness that I appreciated.

Great ban cohesion, 3.5/5

Decent. Not heavy enough

Guitar is peak on every song, no exceptions. My personal favourite is Venus, but the intro to friction is pretty cool too. Enjoyable album although I think the first half was better than the second. Marquee moon did not have to be 10 minutes long but good nonetheless.

When to listen: Want to seem CBGB cool

I knew the title track, and that's the obvious standout, although possibly just through recognition. The rest of the album is ok but didn't blow me away. May change this on a future listen, but for now a strong 3.

Not bad idk nothing stuck except the 10 min song

Tried this before but wasn't impressed. Let's see how it holds up this time. Quite nice, liked the guitarwork in most songs. But still not impressed, might grow on me, I'll keep it in rotation

I liked it. Another decent debut album. Favorite songs: Friction, Marquee Moon, Prove It

-from first listen i like the energy it reminds me of stranger things rn (esp see no evil)

Never heard of these guys, but this was pretty good. Kind of like psychedelic rock, but with a bit of a harder edge to it. Not quite good enough to get to a 4 though.

Swagger without the character of mick jagger. 3/5

Not bad rock album Fave track: See no evil

You can definitely hear the influence this had on a lot of bands

This album would be an easy 4/5 from me....if it wasn't for the mindnumbingly boring title track that has absolutely no reason being 10 minutes long!! Television's 'Marquee Moon' has all the makings of what I really like in an album; garagey rawness, punky punchiness and simple yet vague lyrics; and the first three songs, 'See No Evil', 'Venus' and 'Friction', are all great tunes that are rightfully heralded as among the best of the New York punk scene of the late-70s. But the title track kills the enjoyment of the entire album for me. 'Marquee Moon' has no business being 10 minutes long when half of it is uninspired f***ing around on the guitar. This song could've been a good 4-minute tune, much in the same vein as the rest of the album, but because they just had to extend the guitar part far longer than necessary, it kills the entire mood of the album, to the point where I no longer care for the rest of it. Also, Tom Verlaine's voice gets pretty grating before too long. He sounds like both Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones) and Ian Astbury (The Cult) in places, but without having the skill or charisma of either. This would've been an easy 4 out of 5 for me, but the title track ruins it completely. I feel bad for saying this given how influential this album is to the development of alternative rock, but it's a classic case of just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Best songs: See No Evil, Venus, Friction

Ниче такой, под настроение может зайти, присутствует вайб добрый (фрикшион, элевейшион)

Mielenkiintoista meininkiä. Välillä kuulostaa ihan kivalta, mut sit taas välillä ei iske ollenkaan. Laulu on kyl kans semmonen etten osaa sanoo mitä mieltä oon, mutta annetaan tämmönen keskitie

Tätä on joskus tullut yritettyä kuunnella. Ei oo koskaan ihan täysiä lähtenyt, mut siitä harvinaisia levyjä, että tuntuis paranevan loppua kohen. Varmasti kova vaikutin ja osaa hyödyntää genrerajoja rikkovaa meininkiä. Jos jaksais tuhat kertaa kuunnella niin varmaan menis viis kautta vitoseks. Nyt kun on aiemmin yrittänyt ja jälleen kerran sama reaktio että melkein mut ei ihan ja vähän liikaa sekoilua niin kolome.

Kivoja soundeja, mutta taas kerran biisit aika meh-osastoa. Kuitenkin ihan hyvää sellaista, mieluummin tätä kuuntelee kun montaa muuta mitä tässä rojektissa on tullut vastaan.

It was a total vibe. Although i didn't have one song to especially stick out, i really enjoyed listening to this album.

Kind of, but rock is not my genre

Right off the bat, I felt like a divorced dad when I started listening to the album. I was not expecting a 10 minute song, which I thought I was going to hate. Besides that, I really enjoyed the experience. My favorite songs were Marquee Moon and Friction (thought this one was funny). Surprisingly, Friction was the song that felt closest to something I would actually put on my personal playlists and I still might.

Not bad

Surprised me as I didn’t think I would like it - going to recommend to my son

Early Punk - with very Rock N' Roll adjacent instrumentals, and vocals that do give Stones a bit. The earlier half suffers from the classic Punk issue of repetitiveness and weird structure that tends to not go anywhere - as in, it starts building up, but there's barely any payoff (in the form of a good chorus or whatnot). The run between between Guiding Light and Torn Curtain is, for me, the highlight of the album though - those last three songs are actually more interesting and engaging than the rest.

Cars-esque (?) sound w/ Mick Jagger vocals. Can’t complain about that.

É bom até, mas não me agradou muito não

i haven’t listened but i will

It had some interesting musical choices, but other than that, it didn't blow me away to be honest.

music was good but i kinda hated the vocals

Neat. Love how unique all the guitar, bass and drum lines are. The more you listen, the more you notice. Faves: Venus, Friction, Guiding Light

A bit raw with whiny / slightly off key vocals but decent guitar.

I liked a lot of these songs, but the album as a whole didn't really shine.

pleasant surprise!

very decent album 🤌 rocky horror vibes

3/5

This is like a high 3, if not a 4. I didn't add it to my library, but maybe I should. I did text Ryan: "This album was kinda good. Not sure if it’s a 4/5, but it’s pretty good."

Not bad, I see why it’s so influential but I think it’s an album that benefits from multiple listens to fully appreciate. Maybe subsequent listens will increase the score but for me it was good, but not memorable

Some good songs some not so much
