Reviews (page 3 of 7)
Quite a revelation how much better Bryan Ferry is here. My previous exposure was from his solo work which I always felt was a bit meh
A great album. Both musically and lyrically it offers so much more than the average glam rock of the time. Epic
Ok yeah… I get Roxy Music now. This was just a lot of fun, opening with a really silly fake dance song which is probably one of the worst on the album but full of charm. It gets a lot better from there as it carves out a characteristic and energetic new wave niche, with Ferry’s yelps punctuating through the synths and saxes. The closing track was a bit of an anticlimax, but otherwise it was a great time
Buen disco, algunas buenas canciones entremedio.
Kinda sounds like Beck? Need to listen again.
Weird, but cool
Musik für meine Ohren. Früher mochte ich Roxy Music nicht, war mir zu avantgardistisch und Brian Ferry und Stimme zu dandyhaft. Bis mir 15 Jahre später mein 18jähriger Untermieter ein "Roxy Music Mixtape" (ja, eine C90 Cassette) zusteckte. Hat mich überzeugt, dass ich falsch lag.
Really enjoyed this, feels like it gets a bit proggy in places which is nice
ok, 3-4?
Not my favorite Roxy album, but certainly groundbreaking for 1973. Prog rock, glam rock... I'll be honest. I never heard of Roxy until the late 80s. Definitely have a place in Rock History. (Would there be a Talking Heads without them?)
A fun listen
I enjoyed this album. Never really listened closely to Roxy Music. Sounds like Bowie.
A band that escaped me, like 70s Genesis. I enjoyed this but I might have passed by when this would have been awesome to me. Great musicians. 3.5
I remember first owning this on cassette. Side One is outstanding. Do The Strand is a great opening track, taking no prisoners. It is also one of the best Roxy tunes. Beauty Queen & Strictly Confidential slow the pace, before Editions Of You cranks it back up - another winner. The side ends with In every Dream Home a Heartache. What other song is like it? I don’t know one. Ferry’s vocals on this are outstanding. Side Two is not quite as engaging. It contains Grey Lagoons, bookended by two very long tracks, The Bogus Man, which runs for almost ten minutes, while the title track, featuring a lot of Eno, is seven minutes long. Side Two seems more experimental than Side One. I do prefer early Roxy, & this cuts the mustard.
awesome!!!
Love Roxy Music and always recognize Bryan Ferry's vocals
I'm entirely sure that a significant part of my disinterest in this album was due to listening to it on the shitbox stereo in my shitbox car in atrocious weather. The most important thing to take from this review is that you should never buy Bosch windscreen wipers. Occasionally there's no alternative, but the relentless rubbery scraping will - even despite the music of Roxy Music - send you stark raving bonkers, and you should buy literally any other brand of wiper blade at your earliest convenience. I might have to leave this as \"did not listen\" for a while, and come back to it in better circumstances. ==== Having come back to this with a big pause since the first time, I can say that I quite like what he's done with it. The vocal swings, the high dynamic range of his voice - I like it.
It’s alright tad self indulgent in some songs 4/5
They aren't weird they are "avant garde"... okay they are weird but I like it. This is when Brian Eno was still in the band.
Initial thoughts are that the album cover definitely does not match the vibe. I was expecting something totally different. I really enjoy the instrumentals. Like a lot. I do not really enjoy the vocals as much. I love the experimental and psych instruments but the vocals are more like glam rock or 80s pop and the two don't work super well together. The Bogus Man sounds like it could have maybe been inspiration for Radiohead. It's super psych and the vocals work a lot better on that song. This album gave me more mixed feelings than most of the other albums I've received so far. I'm obsessed with the instrumentation and psych/experimental elements of this record. I really don't like the vocals on it though. If the vocals sounded more psych rock or raw/rough, I'd be super into it.
Roxy Music was much bigger in the UK and Europe than the USA so we don't have the same exposure to them. Standouts (5/5): Do the Strand, For Your Pleasure, Others (4/5): In Every Dream Home a Heartache, The Bogus Man, Beauty Queen, Strictly Confidential, Rating: 4/5
Honestly enjoyed it. "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" is a great suspense track.
Thought that'd be another Brit band slog after the first track but oh how the rest of the album changed my mind. Ripping guitar work, early synths and unique song structures make this a frenetic, in-your-face jam. Favorite tracks: Strictly Confidential, In Every Dream Home A Heartache, The Bogus Man
Jeg er ret stor fan af Roxy Musics sidste album Avalon men har faktisk aldrig hørt andet. Den her er fed! Man kan godt høre Brian Eno er med!
Ægte weirdo rock! Super fed og underlig produktion. Unhinged pladecover.
Ansi gott art rock, þökk sé gríðarlega framsýnni menntastefnu Breta sem setti alla snillingana sem pössuðu ekki hefðbundið nám í Art School óháð fjárhag og þjóðfélagsstöðu. Byrjar vel, Do the stand og Edition of you góð lög. Svo kemur In every dream home a heartache. Alveg ótrúlegt lag með texta um uppblásna kynlífsdúkku. Verður ekki mikið meira arty en það. Platan í heild vann mikiði á í seinni hlustun, alltaf að taka eftir einhverju nýju. Níu mínútna laga sem var ekkert mál að hlusta á til enda. Síðasta platan með Brian Eno og hann nær svo sannarlega að setja mark sitt á plötuna með ótrúlegum hljóðum sem væntanlega enginn annar kunni að búa til árið 1973. Maður heyrir vel hvað þessi plata hefur haft mikil áhrif á marga tónlistarmenn.
Interesting, very performative 70's glam rock
Cool - Very Rocky Horror!
Brian Eno’s last album with Roxy Music is a textured art/glam rock record that oscillates between more straightforward pieces and more meandering ballad like songs. The variation works well and enjoyed the album’s flow. Roxy Music still isn’t well known, but they were very influential and it’s easy to see why. They straddle the line of experimental and accessible perfectly.
Love the bizarre crooner that is Bryan Ferry. Brian Eno involved again. The transition after about 3 minutes in In Every Dream Home a Heartache made me laugh out loud, or LOL as the kids say
Brian Enos last album with Roxy Music, it’s a good one, the right side of prog rock and art rock. Maybe not the easiest listen but an album than can open up after a while.
I'm a sucker for Roxy Music. I even liked the song about a blow up doll.
Has grown on me. Like all songs except Bogus Man.
Very cool
very good record - I had a hard time with the vocals. Bryan Ferry's voice is kind of a slightly less aggressive Jello Biafra. If that super quick heavy vibrato is your thing then you'll absolutely love this record. Still tho - there's an awful lot to enjoy here. The Bogus Man was what bumped this up to 4 stars in my book; it's a cool track.
An interesting art rock album from before Brian Eno's solo work. 'Editions of You' is the clear highlight here. The rest is varied and often unexpected. I feel like I'm listening to something halfway between Bowie and The Residents ('The Bogus Man'), which is a confusing place to rest, but at all a bad one.
Another band I’ve been meaning to get into As someone who’s already a fan of glam-influenced artists like Bowie and T-Rex, I also found listening to this to be a really fun experience Favourite tracks: Do the Strand, Beauty Queen, Editions of You, In Every Dream Home…, The Bogus Man
This is like listening to an argument between a visionary who wants to change the shape of music forever(Eno) and a visionary who envisions a bigger bank account(Perry). The whole things sounds about 10 years ahead of its time. But let's be real Brian Eno is the real genius here.
Þetta er rosalega horny eins og allt sem Roxy Music gerðu á þessum tíma. Elska það!
Arty and cool and interesting. One digs the tough sax. "The Bogus Man” and “Grey Lagoons” are highlights). Not as polished as the later work, mostly in a good way.
4/5 I’m not into rock really but this is weird enough to work. Birds chirping reminded me of mars Volta and the experimental instruments kept me enjoying.
Experimental, a little rocky horror feeling in there, definitely can hear Eno.
Wasn't so sure when I started on this one, the first few songs sounded a bit glam and theatrical for my taste, but as the album progressed, the experimental sides began to reveal and I liked it more and more. Bryan Ferry's theatricality also grew on me as it was surrounded by braver and braver instrumentation. I give up, I really like this one
Very interesting, need to come back to this one
I like the strand it's such a fun song. I thought the album was good yeah, enjoyed it. Used to have a cat named after Roxy music.
It's a banger! So iconic Roxy music, not just because of Brian Ferrys notable style it's the whole thing. I think it's speed and rhythms they choose. It's punchy and fun. Really enjoyed jt
Great stuff. Such a great sound, keep your guessin', keeps you groovin'
Really good.
Toffe plaat
Nice hair metal album, enjoyable listen
Loved it as much as I love to see Amanda Lear in the album cover
Half of this is amazing - Strand & Editions are amongst Roxy's best. And In Every Dream Home is amongst anyone's best. I fond the B side a bit more of a struggle, the sort of vaguely motorik extended pieces not really gelling for me. I do prefer Roxy with Eno, but this is an interesting transition, and you can't knock Ferry's voice & persona.
Love me some Roxy. Not my favorite Roxy Music album, but still Bryan+Brian=<3
entretenido. mezcla un poco áspera. ferry es insoportable.
Like a more no wave Talking Heads
Great energy but could do with less stoner jam outro
There are a lot of interesting ideas hear. I love the way the lead singer uses their voice as an instrument. I also love the way each song has movements and phases.
I think it's definitely their best album. Deeply weird. Every House really uses Brian Ferry's crooner instincts to make something that's almost Nick Cave dark. Such a shame he turned out to be a bit boring. Do The Strand is a tune as well.
Like the other two Roxy Music albums we've had, I quite enjoyed it. It sounds pretty cool and the saxophone and synths definitely helped in making this an interesting album. The Bogus Man was a bit hard to listen to all the way, due to the combination of dissonance and the length of the track.
The last Roxy Music with Eno, but after listening to "Bogus Man," I think maybe it was best they parted ways. Some great songs here, but as an album it doesn't hold together as well as their others.
Roxy music onnistuu olemaan yhtä aikaa seksikäs ja viileä, jotenkin tämän maailman tavoittamattomissa ja kuitenkin täysin tunteella musiikissa mukana. Ei yhtä hyvä kuin eka levy, eikä yhtä hyvä kuin Brian Enon ekat soololevyt, mutta silti, oi.
A certain darkness to the sound, but a compelling listen. The epic The Bogus Man strides on and on and the drumming across the album is pretty interesting.
Fun and different!
It is Roxy Music's last album with Brian Eno on it. I really liked this experimental/art-rock album, especially the second half. There were some very interesting music on it. At first listen I liked their debut album a bit better but this is also a strong 4 for me.
Very good, but not their best: Stranded its much better.
Light 8/10
🎷
Going 4.5, wonderfully weird pop
Album très intéressant, me semblait très avant-gardiste par le mix de tous les genres qu'on y retrouve. Je pense que c'est le genre d'album qui prend beaucoup plus qu'une écoute pour se faire une bonne idée de sa qualité car il y a tellement de chose qui se passent si on est distrait. Je ne pourrais pas dire que j'ai été captivé, mais clairement il y a un immense soucis de détail. Pour l'instant d'un point de vue objectif je donnerais un 8/10.
As a glam rock album, I think this is as refined as the genre can get. The melodies doesn't immediately jump at you, you have to let them sink in with repeated listens to fully appreciate the intricate Eno atmospheres and of course Bryan Ferry's eccentric and suave vocals. This is really good, you can hear how influential this band was for the post-Smiths UK rock.
Great imaginative glam/art rock. This one really surprised me!
Classic 70 UK glam rock. The roots of a lot of music I still listen really often.
Early 70s glam is something I always find difficult to listen and to appreciate, but this one did it! Great job! Innovative and sensitive. With Brian Eno behind the synth, it's rarely a miss, always a hit!
While I am not that familiar with Roxy Music's catalog, I've dabbled, and always liked what I've heard. This is another great art rock album. Their last with Brian Eno, as I've read, it's a good listen. Not much to add beyond that.
I found this to be a really fun album, and I love the album cover. It’s got some quirky tunes but I feel like the strange elements of it really elevate it. It doesn’t feel early 70s to me, it feels a lot more modern. Fav tracks: Do The Strand, Strictly Confidential, In Every Dream Home A Heartache Least fav: For Your Pleasure, Grey Lagoons 3.5 stars rounded up to 4
First heard The Strand on Westworld. Great song. The Bogus Man was great too. The rest were all pretty damn good. Maybe 1 or 2 that were just meh. His vibrato is a little much sometimes, but when he isn't doing that I love his voice with this music. 8/10
4.2 - "The Strand" always turned me away - a twisted and demented pseudo-dance craze, interesting only as a concept. Get past that Rocky Horror shell, and dig into the gooey insides of this record! On "Beauty Queen" Bryan Perry plays the adoring crooner, waxing poetic about "swimming pool eyes" and "coconut tears heavy-lidded they shed." Some songs turn into playgrounds for Brian Eno's ecstatic instrumentals, particularly on "Editions of You" with its stratospheric guitar/synth solo. "For Your Pleasure" trails off with descending piano lines warped and transmogrified to create sounds equally delicate, vulgar and terror-stricken.
Ultimately really liked this
I remember hearing someone say that what made The Smiths so interesting was because you couldn't tell who they were listening to. They didn't hold their influences on their sleeves like a lot of bands. I don't remember who said it or in what documentary -- probably Sonic Highways but I digress. To that person in that documentary I feel I can safely say that The Smiths were listening to Roxy Music. Lyrically pretty different but all I could think of when hearing Bryan Ferry's wibbly operatic voice was Morrissey. Anyway this album was surprisingly interesting for me. As always I have to shout out the saxophone. Lovely inclusion. Fun and peppy as well as mysterious and spooky. I don't know if I'll listen to it very often but I had a nice time this time. 4
An interesting album with a lot to like, some stuff to dislike. Ultimately an enjoyable listen. In Every Dream Home a Heartache was fantastic
Really liked it, maybe just in a good mood today, no one track is really that outstanding, but just a fun listen from start to finish.
I had to double-check to make sure Spotify didn't make a mistake. So different from the self-titled album. Best track: Grey Lagoons
Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Do the strand, In every dream home a heartache, The bogus man
exactly what you expect from roxy music, some good stuff and some arty farty mad stuff. can't complain
A cucumber stuffed right up to your mother's stomach. She is screaming like a cat in the wind.
4.75
This was pleasurable, thank you Roxy. It manages to be experimental and strange without ever veering into unlistenable territory. Reminded me of Mansun a little bit.
C'est spéciale, mais il y a beaucoup de chanson que j'ai vraiment aimé le vibe. Cependant d'autres que je comprennais pas trop. J'ai quand même aimé la musicalité du band et leur style. 3J'allais mettre 3.85, mais je n'avais pas fini l'écoute. Every Dream home a heartache a fait monté la note à 4 au moins.
A fine album full of great songs - Do the strand, In every dream home..., For your pleasure etc. Never heard Bogus Man before, what a revelation. Guessing this was the last album featuring Eno, and there are signs of the more mainstream direction that Roxy would travel in e.g. Beauty queen. Classy, eclectic, unique
I was pleased
I liked some of this, but Cheezus, too much saxamaphone. Really liked In Every Dream Home A Heartache.
Great album, though there are a couple of weirder ones towards the end that keep it from being perfect.
Such an atmospheric and theatric record which sounds as fresh now as in 1973. Bryan Ferry's voice is instantly recognizable and truly gets to shine on the wailing and dramatic 'Strictly Confidential'. 'The Bogus Man' is a very early prototype for The Cure's more gothic phases, and the bombastic 'In Every Dream Home A Heartache' is the true highlight for me. This is also where Brian Eno really sets his mark on the record with background vocals and excessive phasing.
Roxy Music have always been hovering around in the outskirts of my musical interest. I have a couple of their records but I never truly made a deep dive into their discography; and I don’t think I ever heard this album in it’s entirety before.. But being a child of geniuses, Ferry and Eno, I’m a fool for not have done it earlier. Ferry’s vocal is absolutely breathtaking throughout the entire album; especially on the haunting and stunningly beautiful “In Every Dream Home a Heartache”. But even with a vocalist as strong and unique as Ferry every other aspect of the group has plenty of time to stand out. The presence of Eno is obvious throughout, while Mackay’s saxophone and Manzanera’s guitar never misses the mark. “The Bogus Man” is obviously way too long and “The Beauty Queen” does nothing for me, but with songs like “Strictly Confidential”, “Editions of You” and the title track I really don’t care that much.
Very cool new album experience. Very Bowie-esque glam rock with some cool longer form stuff in there
18/10/2022 - 01/02/2023
It's weird. It's kind of shit. "What if Sparks were Talking Heads", alright, that sounds fucking terrible and also brilliant. Would rather listen to either of those, but this does make sense. Blow-up doll song is stupid as hell. It rules.
Brilliant album. Always listened to Roxy Music and enjoyed their style of music. Really enjoyed this album as well. Some songs weren’t they’re best which let it down a little but there were some brilliant ones in there. If possible I would give 4.75 stars
Even more attractive than the self-titled, initially, which had me making favorable comparisons to Bowie. The music's all a bit more low key, which keeps the B side from reaching 100%, barely. I was impressed by Roxy Music before and this listen ensured I won't forget about the band.
Brilliantly weird
Some Classic songs from a classy band, The original line up with Eno is rather special, Love "Do The Strand" "Editions Of You" "In Every Home A Heartache" and the titular "For Your Pleasure" are great. Definitely on my list!
Like very cool
Classic Roxy - Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera and of course Bryan Ferry vocals. A great band that helped spawn incredible solo careers for all of these guys.
Well apart from singles I never managed to dig a Roxy Music record - and probably this is one of the least ‘singles’ record I came across - but it’s definitely a grower - first listen was hmm - but on second a lot of the hidden qualities started to turn up. I think I’ll grow to really like this one over time.
Roxy music combines slickness with oddity to great effect
Bankare
Easy to listen. Elegant.
Great band! Super underrated in rock history. Great vocal display as well. I really appreciate how they sound new in the 70s, closer to 90s alternative than to 70s rock.
So much more experimental than I was expecting - really love the combo of that and more mainstream rock music
Sleaze, vaudavilluan romp, ferry's voice vibrato can take some getting used to, but not so much I couldn't enjoy the stories. Sounds fantastic.
detta gillade jag strongly ändå
First track was boss. I find that i do love glam.
good stuff here.
Better than expected
Some good stuff, would listen again
Eager anticipation for my first listen of a full Roxy Music studio LP having only previously heard a compilation album and focused on later songs like Oh Yeah. I only knew Strand here and enjoyed Editions equally. The slightly proggy other songs from Heartache onwards are great! A good listen.
7/10. Quite good.
"In every dream ..." really stands out still. Really like the "tension" of this song. The rest of the album is not what i usually listen to, but somehow it works for me. A special album. "..... is there a heaven... i´d like to think so....."
I feel like I could copy-paste my review for Deep Purple here after just swapping a few song titles about. The album sounds pleasant, but is not a stand-out in any meaningfull way, except perhaps for the vocals, which I found very pleasant. 'Strictly Confidantial' is the high point for me. 4/5
Mildly intriguing. I was impressed by innovative sounds as for the release year 1973. The album starts up shy, but as the tracks progress it gets much more interesting. I would also coin in provocative lyrics, delicate vocals as well as splendid saxophone and drums. The result is a solid album - definitely not for every occasion, but worthwhile. Highlight: In Every Dream Home a Heartache
Jak na swoje lata album wydaje się dość nowoczesny. Połączenie rocka popu i muzyki alternatywnej daje czasami ciekawe efekty. Ogólnie album dość specyficzny i nie na każdą okazję.
Trudne do oceny. Nie znałem zbytnio Roxy Music poza paroma hitami. Mi się wokal podobał, album był na tyle eksperymentalny, że się nie nudził. Jednocześnie nie wiem czy do niego będę wracał często. Idealne byłoby 3.5, tutaj dam 4 bo jak na 1973 bardzo nietypowe.
maybe a 3.7 feels a bit like guys who feel like they're more in the know than most and a bit snobbish about it and music would like this. But I enjoyed listening to the album overall
Some good stuff going on here
Another of those bands that I appreciate are really good, really influential etc but never got into beyond the singles. This album is great and I don't recall having listened to it before. Wierd thing is I can hear how Bryan Ferry's voice influenced Nick Cave's vocal styling. A connection I had never made before. Really they are a band I should listen too more
Coming with no expectations, this was the album that introduced me to Roxy Music. It's nothing like their other albums, this one is quite avant-garde, gothic before punk came around, incorporating elements of free jazz and early synths, what I consider to be Eno's first masterpiece. I noticed For Your Pleasure tends to be critics' favorite, but it's not usually the pick by fans. That may go to Siren, Stranded, or even Avalon. However, this is actually my favorite Roxy Music album. I don't think I'm biased for it being my first. I love how chaotic and dark the songs are. The opener "Do the Strand" best exemplifies what I love about the album, from the unexpected and immediate opening line and sax, it grabs your attention out of nowhere. "Beauty Queen" is a great follow-up that reminds me a lot of their Avalon soft rock album. I really like how it feels like his voice has two personalities, a Jekyll and Hyde situation, which is carried on through the entire album. "Editions of You" picks up the pace, reminding us this is a glam rock band, with a sick sax / synth solo engrained in my mind. "In Every Dream a Heartache" is a peculiar highlight, and I'm surprised it's the most-played on Spotify. For three minutes, it's creepy monotonous vocals with atmospheric sounds, not really something to appeal to people compared to other tracks, but I guess by that 3 minute mark it just explodes into a spectacle, dies down, then the instrumental randomly picks up again. According to the Wikipedia, it's been covered a ton of times and featured in Mindhunters so that must be why. Deserves its place as one of their best songs, but still 8 million plays is unusually high. My favorite track is for sure "The Bogus Man." It's haunting and a bit claustrophobic. Love everything from the one-ear sax to the creepy echoey vocals that surround me to the exotic synth effects. It's my favorite blend of rock and free jazz. And it goes for nearly 10 minutes. Last highlight for me is the closing title track with the combination of the extended instrumental. It's a solid album, with no filler, appropriate track order, coherent theme, and an intriguing yet non-excessive experimentation.
4/5. Favorite Roxy Music, Eno goes off. Ferry’s vocals are irritating still
Nice album, easy to listen to songs. Bit short, but that's the norm for that time period.
Mannered, clever, pop art!
Good enough that I bought it

Some of it got a little out there for me but overall I really like this. It is a long way between this and Avalon but you can hear the seeds of that sound in here just a bit. Cool to hear.
Ho avuto una sensazione simile a quando ascolto musica anni '80 (pur non essendo di quel periodo), ma solo per i primi secondi! Alla fine si è rivelato un album bomba, un sax che qua per esempio non si accolla, ma comunque in generale l'uso di tutti gli strumenti, voce inclusa, mi è sembrato interessante. A tratti mi hanno ricordato i Queens of the Stone Age.
Devo essere onesto questo è un altro di quei casi in cui ero partito abbastanza prevenuto. Non conosco il gruppo, forse solo di nome, però la copertina mi aveva subito suggerito un qualcosa di Glam un po' cringe, l'unica speranza era l'anno 1973 (invece che ottanta). Devo dire invece di essere rimasto positivamente sorpreso e di essermi divertito molto con questo album. Ho lasciato un po' di tempo prima del voto perché non ero sicuro ma anche riascoltando un po' di pezzi sparsi l'idea che mi sono fatto è di un album Glam come si deve, auto-ironico ma anche punk, non il Glam che non si capisce se si prenda sul serio e finisce per essere cringe (i Judas Priest secondo me, anche se ufficialmente non Glam, rientrano in questa categoria). Anche gli assoli di chitarra su questo album sono fatti bene riuscendo dove molti gruppi più pretenziosi finora hanno fallito. Per me è un 3.6 che promuovo a 4 per la simpatia e l'originalità.
Saugut weil nicht greifbar. Saugut weil quasi unfassbar, vor allem wie das 1973 stattgefunden haben soll… Was will das eigentlich genau sein? Vor allem zu Anfang steht hier nix fest; Anhobi/Anthony Hegarty muss sich bei „Strictly Confidential“ das kehlige abgehorcht haben. Sonst viel Glanzrock, aber ohne komplett auf Glitzer auszurutschen. Ab „Bogus Man“ krautet man irre um sich, dann schmatzt es mal wieder hedonistisch durch die „Grey Lagoons“, ehe diese sich durch die Rockgeschichte jammen. Finale: Just etwas for my pleasure?! Indeed !! Blew up my mind 4.1
The combination of Andy McKay on sax and Brian Eno on synthesizers gave them a different sound than most of the other bands kicking around at the time. Do the Strand and Editions of You are classics, and I remember them from back in the day. In Every Dream Home a Heart Ache is dark and eclectic, but I especially like the last 3 minutes of For Your Pleasure which gets quite experimental yet melodic.
Ahh classic Roxy with Eno and Manzanera before they sold out and started playing elevator music. The guitar solo after “but you blew my mind” In Every home a heartache and then the fade out/ reprise is a highlight for me. This was Roxy near its best, if this album had my fav track Both Ends Burning I would have given it a 5
Wonderful, reminds me Zappa. Oboe didn't quite fit my taste in the sound, but I really appreciated the ensamble.
Sick album. Ferry is a genius. Great lyrics and a musical tour de force. I think this will only grow in my estimation.
3.5.... but I think it's the first one in awhile to tip upwards on the scale. I just don't feel good about only a 3. It has that funky vocal style that's not too grating or in your face, good tunes behind it, really good album.
weird shit but good you know
Fun experience. Not a perfect album, but a couple of really cool tracks (The Bogus Man).
Very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this album!
very good
Some very fun artsy and punky glam. And those synths are absolutely going wild!
Really enjoying listening to this one.
she was fun!
What a fun surprise this was! If Bowie & Elvis parented a child and named it Roxy this would be the genius result. The singer in Beauty Queen sounded like Elvis had entered the building. Super ziggy album cover. I feel like there were other songs they held hostage somewhere, to be released in the future, that represented the Killer Cat image. The strength of the panther totally subdued by the killer woman was so deep. Reversed power- very slick. I had several favorites: Beauty Queen, Gray Lagoon, Bogus Man, The Strand. Exceptional beat through out the album. Even if I stopped listening the the lyrics, I found myself tapping the beat. Definitely right up there with all that I enjoy of Bowie’s work. Well done Roxy.
There is just something silly/fun about listening to Roxy Music. I enjoy this album, if just for ambience.
Divertidíssima música, animada e tal!
Super interesting! I'm still not sure if I enjoyed it but I'll give it more listens later on
was pretty good. Should listen to more of T.Rex!!!
Very strong Eno in this iteration of Roxy Music. With his typical operatic flourishes which are always interesting to me, though not quite pop.
A lot of really good songs on here. Was very unsure if I'd enjoy Roxy Music, pretty delighted by it. "Do the Strand", "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" and the closing track, "For Your Pleasure", with its eerie fade-out
Roxy did great singles and great weirdness
Really like this album. Smooth as a tiger in a tuxedo!
Not bad. Kind of theatrical. Sounds ahead of its time. Several goods songs, some I didn’t care for and were more experimental. 3.5 probably.
I thought I knew Roxy Music but I had not heard this record before. There is some mad shit going on here. Such an odd and interesting record. Maybe doesn't have the hits needed to stick in the mind but it's an unusual, warbling adventure nonetheless.
Art Rocky proggy pop with a dark, dramatic, weird but recognizable tone. Almost in the vein of weird Peter Gabriel stuff. Here, Roxy Music are experimenting with more out-there atmospherics, textures over melodies, repetitive semi-trippy jams…sandwiched between pop structures and occasionally catchy songs. Certainly an interesting listen that I’m tilting back and forth between if I really dig it or just found it to be aurally fresh. Time will tell, but for now I’ll say intriguing 3.
2,6 Highlights: Do The Strand, Beauty Queen
aight
Pretty good.
Ugh it's that guy that puts women on his album taking my hopes high and then it's just some guy singing boring songs. Okay so this album isn't as bad as the other one I'd gotten. 3/5
not bad, quite individual, though some of the songs sound allike
Pretty enjoyable
besides the last three tracks descending into repetitive intrumental for the second half of them, pretty solid.
- Upbeat, but eerie. It's an interesting mix. I think I like the more eerie tracks more than the more manic ones, but I don't really dislike anything. - I usually don't love sax, but it was used in a really cool way here because the sax wasn't the typical jazz sax, but more as a crazy, kind of shrill, sound effect. - I'm not into Bryan Ferry's warble, but other than that, I like his emotive voice. - That all said, I can't really see myself reaching for this album very often.
So I was leaning towards 3 because I’ve never much cared for Bryan Ferry, but I have a fondness for early ‘70s glam and Wikipedia’s note that he was briefly engaged to Amanda Lear sent me down a rabbit hole.
Arty Glam rock equal parts Eno and Ferry. Also: sex with a blow up doll.
I really enjoy the more upbeat songs. Not sure on the rest but will plan another listen.
Je suis dans l’album mais pas à fond Dommage j’avais une bonne impression au début 6/10
Super hit or miss, wasnt feeling it
Not what I expected.
For Your Pleasure is probably the weakest of the Roxy Music albums but i still think its decent. This was the last Roxy Music album with Brian Eno and his contributions to this album are on full display here. The album has a very jazz rock feel to it with a few synths here and there which i like in theory but the songs here tend to get self indulgent and try so many things that just don't work all that well, they were never really aggravating but it does tank my enjoyment somewhat, I'm also not a fan of the vocals and they certainly didn't help the self indulgent moments but i have heard worse. Overall, its an alright listen but it didn't need to be on this list when we already have both the self titled album and Country Life from these guys here. Best Song: In Every Dream Home A Heartache Worst Song: For Your Pleasure Side note: All Roxy Music albums are done, you know what that means: 1. Country Life 2. Roxy Music 3. For Your Pleasure
Not bad. ★★★
Good enough 3/5
not really a fan of songs over 8 minutes outside of ambient music and Bogus Man really could've been scratched off of this album and I would've appreciated the album a bit more. I like the instrumentation, not a huge fan of Bryan Ferry's vocals. eh. 3. Cool album art!
This was another one of those gaps in my knowledge - a major band I'd never really listened to. It's OK, more interestingly experimental than the prog I've heard from the same period. Don't like his voice though, and it's still a bit pretentious for my tastes.
This is the most three star music that has ever existed. I have no opinions on it. It just sort of hovers there as sounds which happen into my ears. It's all pleasant but I feel nothing and the music doesn't care and neither do I. Three stars.
Pretty fresh for the time period! Mixture of Bowie and late 60's rock punk startup. Would never be my go to, but led to a lot of what I like about the 80's and 90's post pun kalt goth scene.
Another not bad, quite unusual album, and another one that I fail to properly warm to. Some tracks are quite good, with some thrust and oomph to them. Others are a bit meandering and not really popping that much. It's another 3/5 for these guys. Higher and more deserving than 'meh', but still not exciting me.
Country Life is better
I think I liked it more than the average 3, so maybe 3.5/5.
This was a surprise! Not the crooning of Bryan Ferry. Some good songs. Some weird ones. 3
A fascinating, occasionally frustrating listen. For Your Pleasure feels like Roxy Music leaning hard into their art-school instincts—sometimes brilliantly, sometimes a bit self-indulgently. The sax really is abrasive in places, cutting through tracks in a way that feels more confrontational than musical, and Ferry’s voice can grate when he pushes the theatricality too far. But there’s plenty to love: the guitar work adds real bite and texture, grounding the album when it threatens to drift, and Eno’s fingerprints are all over it—those strange synth textures and sonic experiments give it a distinctive, unsettling atmosphere.
Arrancó mejor de lo que terminó, pero estuvo bueno.
cusp of 4, just a little too inconsistent
Two Roxy Music albums two days apart from each other - what a coincidence. This one stood out a little more than the other one - better sounding songs overall that grabbed my ear a little more. I feel like the oddness that I heard on Country Life was on here as well, but it just "worked" better with how their songs were set up. It was a better listen overall, but still just alright.
It's pretty OK. There are shades of punk, and shades of glam - neither genre I'm particularly fond of, but it does it in a fairly interesting way. I don't think I'd listen to it on purpose, but I'd have no issues with it playing in the background.
This was a thinker! I kind of love ‘songs about dances that aren’t line dance songs’ as a genre so a fun first track. As a whole though, I felt like the album jumped around a little too much to be more than the sum of its parts. This whole listening experience has given me a new appreciation for entire album runs!
So, I mean, I get it. “For Your Pleasure” is sexy, kind of dangerous sounding music. That’s why you have a pretty lady on the cover with a wild jungle cat. That’s cool if that’s what you’re into. But I am fine with just the pretty lady. She can leave her jungle cat at home. “Grey Lagoons” is a good song but the rest of this album did nothing for me.
Like it was fine idk. Keep getting some bullshit
Listened to the entire album thinking - probably due to a shortlived dyslexia - that I was listening to Dexys Midnight Runners. Obviously very far from that band though. Fun, in its own way.
The first track sounded familiar to us, but the rest didn’t. I prefer the later work, but still three stars...
I loveeee Roxy Music. But a fan of their 80s era. This sound was so different for its time. I appreciate that.
Thought this was krokus for a bit…or the rocky horror picture show. It was decent. Good use of saxophone.
27/04/2026 To be honest, I have no real love or hate for this album. Bang average I would say. Spotify listeners: 3.1 million
Better than the self titled, but the vocals still rub me the wrong way.
Some decent instrumentals (the lead guitarist is really cooking on some of these tracks), but let down by the vocals and random injections of artsy weirdness (eg the outro on the final track rather spoils the whole thing). Overall this was fine, but nothing special
I liked about half of this. The album with Love is the Drug is not one of the 3 albums by this group in our 1,001. That’s a bummer.
Interesting. Never heard of Roxy Music before.
teško mi je ocijeniti... ima nekih fora momenata i ne mogu reći da je loše, ali glas i način na koji pjevač pjeva jednostavno nije za mene
points for cool album cover and for being their last album with Brian Eno. I can hear the Velvet Underground influence a little but some blues rock too. In Every Dream Home A Heartache which I've just read is about a blow up doll is probably the standout track for me. Also enjoyed Beauty Queen and Grey Lagoons. Would probably take a few more listens to really digest this. Also so much saxophone!
This was a strange album. There were some moments I really liked - The Bogus Man almost sounds like proto-Khruangbin. There are other moments that get a bit boring though, and the album didn’t feel very consistent. Still and enjoyable listen, and an album that feels quite innovative for the time.
This album kind of sounds good, but it still got so boring and repetitive to listen to. There would be good moments in a few songs, but then I just sit there, expecting something new and exciting to happen in the music and it didn’t really excite me that much.
Wow, another David Bowie album.....wait this isn't Bowie? But seriously, this album sounds like something Bowie would make, so that means its pretty good, even if it is somewhat derivative of all the art rock staples, and is strangely reminiscent of Velvet Underground and similar artists. I like the non linear song progressions and the strange vocal performances are pretty captivating, but I wish there was more melodic meat to the tunes. The experimental songs with longer run times were my not my favorite because there were some very ultimately unsatisfying build ups and break downs. This album felt a lot longer than it was, because there's something very dense about these songs, it makes a 4 minute song seem like 10 minutes, and a 10 minute song feel like 30 minutes. Overall, it was solid but I was left wanting something a little bit more in terms of the melodies, nothing really hooked me but it still held my attention because it was interesting conceptually.
Quite unfortunate that the most remarkable aspect I can point out about this album is the fact that Brian Eno is in here, and to see where he comes from. This doesn't mean this album is bad, but I certainly wasn't a big fan of some of the ideas here. The record has a great start with the song "Do the Strand", an art rock track which has a nice contrast between the mysterious sounding verses and the lively choruses. I liked Brian Ferry's funny, charismatic and with personality voice, and the very playful instrumentation. The next two songs have a drastic tempo slow down, with "Beauty Queen" being very static until they introduce the solos in the middle of the track, and "Strictly Confidential" being even more monotonous than the previous one. Then comes "Editions of You", which is very cheerful, infectious and fun with some really interesting saxophone and synthesiser solos and melodies. It is from this point I lose the interest : "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" has me on the edge of my seat with a very static first half (and not in a good way, as I was waiting for the next part to start), having only voice, synths and saxophone playing, until the drums come with an underwhelming guitar solo in the middle of the song. "The Bogus Man" is a tedious nine minute song that is mostly uninteresting improvisation, even though the rhythm is a little bit groovy. "Grey Lagoons" may bring back a bit of energy with its saxophone, guitar and harmonica solos, but it isn't as uplifting as the tracks I highlighted before. Finally, "For Your Pleasure" is also an incredibly slow and static song that stretches to almost 7 minutes without doing anything particularly interesting. It seems like it tries to create a mysterious and immersive atmosphere, but I honestly didn't find it captivating. As I said, the only thing that captured my interest about this project is that Brian Eno was in this group. As an art rock album, I've heard more appealing and interesting records.
I knew that Roxy Music’s Avalon —the first album of theirs that I heard as a young teen—was not typical of the band’s sound. However, that was my only exposure to the band for decades. Knowing that I probably wouldn’t appreciate the glam rock they’re known for, I still welcomed the chance to hear their second album. This was such an interesting phase in 70s rock music. I think about David Bowie, who, in my mind, made the sound work, and Queen, which usually made it work, but still sometimes sounded silly (my opinion only, of course). But as I listen to Roxy music, I considered that this band and perhaps the whole genre foreshadowed and inspired later Broadway musicals, like Hedwig and the Angry Inch and other storytelling musicals. It’s dramatic and out there and queer and proud, a vanguard of what would become possible. That said, the music doesn’t do much for me, but I don’t have to love it to see how it shaped later music and maybe even theater (I have no idea if there was an actual impact or if I’m connecting two separate threads.)
Favorite songs: Beauty Queen, Editions of You, For Your Pleasure
I saw Widespread Panic cover "Love is the Drug" at Madison Square Garden on Halloween in 2003. Otherwise, I don't know shit about this band, except that Bryan Ferry is involved and apparently they were pretty influential. I found this album to be ok. 3
Decent but not what I was expecting? Lol not bad
Bit of a slow start but picked up in the middle. Was expecting worse than it was.
Considerably better than I expected. I guess I associate them/him with naff 80s but clearly the Eno effect helped in their early days.
Now here we have a classic example of a timeless problem. Namely, it’s just not as good as the excellent first album. ‘In every home…’ is still an absolute classic, but they’ve smoothed some edges and gone a bit too poppy for me.
Un des rares albums qui finit mieux qu'il commence. Pas de quoi se lever la nuit cela dit.
Not my favorite glam rock but still not bad. 2 or 3 really good songs.
Found this one interesting and somewhat enjoyable
What I've heard from them has been good but I've just never been able to get into their music. The glam rock to new wave electronic angle is great, but their song list just lacks peaks. One of those groups your parents are into that you don't mind.
Interesting. Not bad.
It's ok, maybe too are leaning whilst sacrificing listenability
For Your Pleasure is a record that rewards study more than it rewards listening. The Eno fingerprints are everywhere — strange textures, unsettling production choices, a sense that the sonic palette is being stretched in directions that would influence a decade of music to come — and that historical importance is genuinely audible. You can hear the DNA of countless things that followed in almost every track. But Bryan Ferry is the sticking point. His vocal delivery is less a voice than a performance of a persona — arch, theatrical, and deliberately artificial. That’s clearly the point, and intellectually it’s interesting. Emotionally, though, it keeps the record at arm’s length. There’s no human warmth at the center pulling you in, just a very well-dressed concept looking coolly back at you. The album’s best moment is “Grey Lagoons,” which is also its most anachronistic — boogie woogie piano, harmonica, and a thumping bass that give it a physical, almost joyful quality the rest of the record deliberately withholds. It’s the track where the band sounds least like a concept and most like musicians having fun, and it stands out precisely because of that contrast. The saxophone work throughout is intriguing without being fully satisfying — unsettling on “Bogus Man,” more conventional and welcome on “Grey Lagoons.” The closing title track asks for an emotional investment the album never quite earned. A respectful three — admired from a comfortable distance.
I thought this was my favourite Roxy Music record but I actually think I prefer their debut. Nonetheless I would agree this is a must listen for ‘In every dream home a heartache’ alone - what a tune!!
No strong feelings for this album one way or the other.
Kind of a strange album but not bad. Kind of felt like a David Bowie tribute band or something.
I actually liked this more than I thought I would. Lots of time for fun guitar solos, it felt like listening to a recorded jam band. Ultimately though, there are no hot bops or memorable songs
I am aware of Roxy music, but I would not know how to spot their sound before Inlisten to this album, which was my first experience of listening to them. The sound is really 80s, the way to sing the lines, the synths and hey I am learning a lot on Brian Eno's production. Itbis an ok album but another 80's synthpop which therw are loads in the list. . I've got another Roxy Music album today, so ne,t review I will try to compare both albums. 3/5
Sonically similar to taking your car for an oil change, but the technician is a circus clown.
This was strange but interesting. I liked the lead vocals, his voice was different. I’ve had two of their albums already and I think this one is in the middle of those two.
Eh 3
6 - AVERAGE
Britânico e pedestre. Não me surpreendeu em momento algum, mas possui alguns grooves agradáveis. De qualquer modo, não causa muita emoção. Mediano.
7/10
Not the greatest but not the worst...
Что это вообще такое
I had higher hopes for this.
It's interesting to listen to some early stuff and experience some of the origins, but I enjoy Brian Eno's later solo stuff quite a bit more than this Standouts Do The Strand In Every Dream Home A Heartache 3/5
Album 58 Top 3 favorites off the album: In Every Dream Home A Heartache, Editions Of You, Do The Strand The first track sounds like Will Wood if he were from the 70s. Everything else is... okay. I can't remember what other band it reminds me of. I had to give In Every Dream Home a second listen to make up my mind. I've decided I like it. I can't say I remember another song where someone says bungalow, so that made me laugh a little. It's not funny, it's just funny to me. Lyrically, pretty good. More interesting than the last couple albums I've gotten here. Whoever said the cover deserves a better album is absolutely correct.
It feels really indulgent, but kind of in a cool way?
Je comprends pas comment il a pu faire rentrer 3 ALBUMS de Foxy Music dans la liste, j’ai eu beaucoup de misère à passer la première partie, une chance que Mr Bogus était là pour leur sauver la mise, j’allais leur donner un 2
Artsy pop rock
3.5
Funky but chaotic
Some say this is Roxy Music's best, but I don't think it's any better or worse than the other two on this list. However, here we can hear Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno's creative differences, which led to the latter's departure. It's all cool, slick, and slightly weird, but always a good time. Key tracks: Do the Strand Strictly Confidential Editions of You
bueno pero medio x, igual si me gustó
Roxy's second album has four top-notch slices of kickass art rock weirdness mixed together with four other slowish and mostly overlong tracks that keep derailing the momentum of the record. "Do The Strand" and "Editions Of You" are two uptempo stompers that set a high standard for this album, equalled only by the apex-of-oddness epic "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" and the moody and regal "Beauty Queen". The remainder of this record isn't what you would call *bad* but it basically consists of lot of just-OK ideas stretched thin across extended track lengths.
Interesting album: "Do the Strand" makes me think of Rocky Horror and is probably the most accessible song here. The rest feels a little too art school for my taste; their song titles "Editions of You" and "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" are terrific.
Roxy Music were a different band on those first two albums, more Eno and less Ferry, which sounds like a good thing... but I don't think the band was big enough for both of them.
Not what I thought it was going to be. I kind of dig it.
I like his voice and cadence
Despite really liking the work of Brian Eno, I've never really dug into any of the records he made as part of Roxy Music. This was definitely a weirder record than I was expecting (I think I'd assumed the band was a bit poppier) and one that I think I'll try to revisit. Glad though that Eno split away to do his own thing as I think his contributions to music have been much more interesting in the decades after this.
6/10
Very nicely crafted album. 3.5
3.5, some of the vocal delivery was too stilted (or lyrics too awkward? not sure) for a full on 4 but I did enjoy this more than I expected after previously getting the Roxy Music album with the two half-naked women on it and not being impressed
I had no idea that Roxy Music was know for this style of music at all. I only previously knew Love Is The Drug which is a pretty straightforward rock song that I'm a fan of. For Your Pleasure surprised me straight out of the gates with the immediate dive into the deep end on Do The Strand. It caught me off guard and piqued my curiosity which it managed to grab a hold of for 40 minutes. Each song had its own allure from the weird, macabre and frenetic world of Brian Ferry and company. As weird as it is I think the best song might be In Every Dream Home a Heartache with its pretty pretty straightforward affection of a blow up doll. Enjoyed The Bogus Man and a couple others. Mostly weird, but also pretty good. I never knew Brian Eno was an early member of Roxy Music but wasn't surprised when I found out he was involved in this album. I don't think he had dipped his toe into production yet, but there is still some of his experimental musical identity hidden in this album. I can hear some of the groundwork laid out here that show up in early Talking Heads albums he was involved in. Say what you will about the man but his reputation and discography is impressive to say the least. His work with Roxy Music even if limited is yet another positive example of his influence. I guess this album really was for my pleasure as every time I started losing interest I was sucked back in by the next bar, lyric, track, whatever. Nice entry for 1001. I don't think I would have heard this album otherwise. 3.06
Need to revisit later. Sleazy stuff.
Thanks!
It’s fine
Nunca le he entrado del todo a Roxy Music, aunque me dicen que es genial. Este disco es algo raro. Me gusta, guardé varias de sus canciones, pero no termino de amarlo del todo. No siento que lo volvería a escuchar completo, pero sí oiría otros de la banda. Bien, pero no genial.
Southpark goth kid music mixed with 70s guitar riffs
For most of this album I really wasn’t that interested in it. Didn’t hate it so it was looking like a two star. Then we got to the final three tracks. I enjoyed The Bogus Man, Grey Lagoons was bloody great and the title track closed it off nicely. Enjoyed them well enough to add another star. Top Track - Grey Lagoons
I was a little disappointed. I liked the other two Roxy Music entries. Not so much this one. Did not hate, it, but this doesn't belong higher than 3.
Nebolo to zlé, ale ..
Was a bit surprised to see this but not Avalon. There's no standout hit on this but it does have Brian Eno and I'm always going to be interested when he is involved. Second album and a pretty polished sound already. Mostly avoids the glam chiches (apart from Ferry's vocals). Lyrics were somewhat interesting (blow up dolls?). Loved the groove on Bogus Man.
3.5 that was an option
Thoughts before listening: I like some Roxy Music songs, but they've never fully clicked with me. In their early era that this album is from they were a little glam rock era Bowie, a little croonery vibe from Bryan Ferry, some Brian Eno weirdness. In theory this should be up my alley. Review: Yeah this is what I was expecting from a Roxy Music album. There are some cool songs here...I especially enjoy the guitar and sax solos sprinkled throughout...but something just doesn't quite work for me. Maybe its too experimental and weird for my personal tastes. Regardless, there are some songs I enjoy like "Do the Strand", "Editions of You", and "The Bogus Man" which are all being added to my playlist. I will say that on repeat listens, this did start to open up a bit for me and I enjoyed it more and more. I think Bryan Ferry's croon just takes a little getting used to for me. Still though, I think this is a 3-star album.
I probably wasn’t in the right mood for this. It’s fine, reminds me of Rocky Horror Picture Show
For the first 5 songs this was a 4/5 for me, but after that it got way worse (especially the bogus man).
I think I only like Brian Eno when he's doing weird ambient shit tbh. Stick to that
Var faktisk noen kule sanger! Suprise!
Typical Roxy Music album. Their sound is distinctive and enjoyable.
not really a fan of theatre style music
Not really my thing. But better than the art & indie rock they almost certainly influenced. A 3, with respect!
some cool parts, some that sounded like shitty prog roxk
Hm, war ganz okay zum nebenbei hören, aber wird mir eher wegen der Coverart, als der Musik, in Erinnerung bleiben
okay
Personally didn't like it but in a musical point of view it's a pretty good album!
While I think there's too much glam on this album, or too little glam in me, I found the album enjoyable and would listen again. I probably do need to listen again. I want to say anything more insightful
It's just a matter of personal taste but I can't really get into it. The music is all really good and the singing is fun but none of it adds up to anything I care about.
Not my favourite Roxy Music album, but they're always a quirky good time
Ikke lige migrer fedt faktisk
7/10 There was some songs i really liked, i don’t know if id listen again
I think these guys could excel if they stuck to one style, but they're set on being the okayest band of all time
Fav: Beauty Queen Least Fav: Strictly Confidential For your (somewhat) pleasure
great , creepy
Much Roxy, very Music
I did the Strand. It was just okay
Fun and weird, fresh and unique, it got a bit more exciting in the second half but all of it is still pretty wacky
Roxy Music were always classed as a glam rock band, and to be fair they had their requisite share of funny haircuts and spangly suits when they appeared on Top of the Pops. However, this album would be better described as art rock and you can hear Brian Eno’s distinctive production tricks at play with weird keyboards and tape loops. Brian Ferry’s warbly vocals and Phil Manzanera’s excellent guitars build out the sound, but the creative tensions were too great and Eno left shortly after this, going on to work with David Bowie and others.
Två ganska perviga album i rad! Detta är det av de ”bra” Roxy-albumen som jag lyssnat minst på. Inga låtar som sätter sig riktigt för mig men det är å andra sidan rättså bra rakt igenom. Grym saxofon, en del skönt Brian Eno-ljudflumm En annan dag hade det kunnat vara en 4 men stannar vid en stark 3a
Jättesvårt! Ibland helt fantastiskt, ibland inte. Har lite svårt för sången men det instrumentala speciellt när saxen får vara med har jag väldigt lätt för. Känner inte riktigt någon helhetskänsla som album men gillar det ändå tillräckligt mycket för en trea!
In Every Dream Home A Heartache! Mycket kul som pågår här, men känns inte helt färdigtänkt som hel platta.
En av dom svåraste! Hann bara två lyssningar och det var inte nog för det här. En trea just nu iaf
Not my favorite Roxy Music. I still love it, but I need to save room (stars) for Avalon.
Not as bad as I expected, but I'm wondering why this particular Roxy Music album was chosen over the band's other releases.
Pretty good; okay.
Amazing album cover, didn't really vibe with the album
Good stuff, definitely of its time. Glad I listened to the whole thing but also not really feeling any need to revisit it.
*The Eno keys are cool and the last few songs have nice jazzy parts *The vocals aren't great and the vibes are kind of strange overall
Eclectic
Not saying I’d want to, but, even if I did, I don’t feel I was given enough information to successfully “do the strand”.
