For Your Pleasure
Roxy Music

So I like Roxy Music – as well as Bryan Ferry & Brian Eno, so I really expected to thoroughly enjoy this album, however – it wasn’t quite as good as I thought… The audio quality was excellent, the diversity throughout the tracks was really well done, and you can really tell they were into experimentation on this album… The theme that sorta ran throughout the album for me, was that there were sections of vocals and music – that were exceptional at times, while there were others that really weren’t exceptional at all – and often times within the same song… That sonic whiplash (i.e. okay – so it doesn’t change that frantically, but there might changes 2 or 3 times within the same song) was truly a bit annoying – though I had more issues with the vocal stylings than the music… So I liked bits and parts of just about every song with the exception of “Do The Strand” – but didn’t really love any of them – the way I do all of the songs on the “Avalon” album – albeit a different style and vibe to that album… Best song on the album IMO is “Strictly Confidential” – and to be honest, I thought there would be more songs like that one on this album, but c’est la vie… Can’t get it to a 3, but would probably give it a 2.50 if I could – so a solid 2 for me…
