No he llegado a amar este disco. Es genial. De eso no hay duda. Incluso mi calificación es buena porque cada canción es buena. El problema es que lo siento extremadamente "inconsistente". Y mi inconsistencia se basa en que Marquee Moon, probablemente una de las 10 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos, por lo menos en mi lista, no es alcanzada en ningún momento por ninguna otra canción del disco. Todas las demás tienen cosas originales. Disfruto mucho de Friction y Elevation, por ejemplo, pero el album cae lamentablemente en la maldición de no igualar en ningún punto al tema que le da el nombre. Y es una pena.

Along with The Clash's London Calling, this is undoubtedly the finest moment of the 70s, an album whose influence can be heard throughout rock music history. Containing some of the most innovative instrumentation and song structures, Marquee Moon is an album that was surely ahead of its time, as illustrated perfectly by the almost 10 minute opus that is the album's title track.

Everyone loves this album, I wish I could hear what you hear. I hate it, to me there a no redeeming qualities. I have to force myself to get through it. I’ve forced myself to listen to it at least 12 times thinking eventually it would “click”. Unfortunately it has not. I want to like this album, it should be in my wheelhouse, however I not only don’t like it- I actively hate it

Phenomenal

Love the guitar riffs, a very enjoyable album. All of the tracks are good. My favourites are See No Evil and Venus. Classic album, I can see why it's in the top 100.

The album's guitar work is particularly impressive, with Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd weaving intricate and atmospheric melodies. The songs are also well-written and catchy, with lyrics that are both poetic and evocative.

A fantastic post punk release that truly captures the essence of what makes this genre so unique and special. They achieve this through some absolutely stunning guitar solos such as on See No Evil, Venus and Elevation. The peak of the guitar work is on the phenomenal Marquee Moon which is in the debate for one of the greatest songs of all time. Everything comes together brilliantly on the title track with the drum, bass, guitar and vocal all giving outstanding performances. No other song on this album reaches this standard but they are all still of a good quality resulting in a very good listen. I do think the vocal is a huge divider between the people who like this album and the people who don't as it is quite polarising. Personally, I love it and it is one of the highlights of the album for me with songs like Guiding Light only being elevated from his performance. Overall, the instrumental and musical quality is evident on here as we are treated to a consistent and enjoyable post punk experience.
