Ahead of its time for sure. Inclined to say precursor to the Violent Femmes

They say the lyrics are philosophical which I don’t get it, but hey! Is there any better guitar playing than this?!

Amazing album. Torn Curtain is one of the great album closers with its brooding building guitar solo and the title track and Elevation are other highlights. Anyone interested in guitar music should start here.

One of the greatest albums of all-time. I'm not usually one to rave about the quality of the playing, but the guitar work on here is just perfect. Verlaine's voice is a thing of beauty too. I could not live without this record.

Being New York Punk it's not really Punk, no, instead it's rock.

This album shows maybe like no other album, the best dialogue between guitars in rock.

Near perfect. Venus is the best track on the album and possibly of the year.
