Genre: Punk, Post-Punk, New Wave
Year: 1977
About: Imagine complex punk, but Television weren't concerned with speed and aggression like other punk bands. They were ahead of their contemporaries of the time and this introspective album shows it. The instrument arrangement are carefully placed, as not to show off, but you still get a sense of their virtuosity. The lyrics are passionately sung, and at times even seems to be a precursor to emo. The guitar lines are stunning, and weave in and out of your ears wonderfully. Such lengthy compostitions were unhead of in the punk scene at the time of this album's release. You can feel this record; they succeeded.
Sounds Like: Wire, Gang of Four, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, The Modern Lovers
