Only recently discovered this severely underrated album, and its high position on this site is testimony to the quality taste of its users. Absolutely brilliant songs. Venus is my favorite, 'I fell right into the arms of Venus de Milo'!

Perfect!

Very melodic. Well crafted songs

Amazing how underrated this is among the masses.

Probably one of the best post-punk albums, and one of the creators of alternative. It's crazy how much these guys influenced other bands such as The Strokes

This is one of those albums that makes you wanna grab your guitar and play along with.

I finally discovered this gem. May be turning 40 next year, but it sounds so fresh. Definitely needs more recognition. This is garage rock over 20 years before the garage rock trend. Solid all the way through.

Lucky to be a teenager when this came out. 1977 was a banner year for rock music. One of the greatest guitar albums of all time, one of the greatest psychedelic albums of all time. I got to see Television live and dance with my girlfriend to Marquee Moon. Life doesn't get better than that.

The Strokes take a lot from this band

At first listen I liked it, but didn't think it was anything special. I gave it a second listen, and was blown away. This is truly a great album. I prefer side one to side two, but that's due to the strength of the former, and not because any weakness of the latter. Its sound mixed a pop mentality with post-punk. The songwriting features excellent interplay between the different guitar pieces, with synergistic counter-melodies complimenting the main melodic line. The lyrics, with its wordplay and imagery, and the cool yet emotive vocal delivery add so much to the instrumentation.

My favourite Punk-/Post Punk-album. The guitar playing is really cool. I think it influenced a lot of other artists.
