Okay, so it's not the raw piece of meat for your ears that 'Marquee Moon' was. They played those songs live for 3 years before going into the studio with Andy Johns and made a post-punk garage rock masterpiece. Initially, I was disappointed with 'Adventure', and I let it sit, going on to wear out my copy of 'Marquee Moon'. But recently, I've pulled out the Tom Verlaine/Richard Lloyd follow up to their masterpiece, and you know what?? I love it!! From the beautiful melancholy of 'Days', to the ... Read More

Television were a breath of fresh air in the 1970s with their unique psychedelic rock, sparse but based on long, yet always melodic and even delicately soft guitar lines - producing melody even through chaos.
"Adventure", their second album following the massively-acclaimed Marquee Moon, was highly accessible due to the slick production and absence of extended jams. Nonetheless, the rapid tightening of commercial radio formats and the ineptitude of noncommercial radio restricted Television ... Read More

Tom Verlaine's guitar has a unique voice. Either you love it - or you don't - Typically, big fans of groups like Styx, Toto, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Boston, Kansas and The Doobies... might not appreciate Verlaine's voicing and style.

When this album came out in the late seventies the critics said it didn't hold a candle to their debut album Marquee Moon. Over time its reputation grew until it was finally recognised for what it is- a work of near brilliance. It doesn't have the hard edge of MM, but that is where its appeal lies- the hard edges have been smoothed out and replaced with a dreamy, surreal quality that acheives moments of greatness- check out "Carried Away", one of the few keyboard-based Television songs, and especially the ...

As a casual fan, this is my favorite Television record. Marquee Moon is good, but this is just better in my opinion.
"Foxhole" is a leftover from the MM sessions, and it definitely sounds like it. It's totally out of place, and consequently is my least favorite song on the album. (If it had been on MM, it would have fit right in, and I probably would have loved it). Other than that, this album has a terrific flow to it, and is great for a laidback listening experience. Television is known ... Read More
