My experience with Marquee Moon went something like this:


First listen: "Wow, this is the best album ever!"

Second listen: "Wow, this is almost the best album ever!"

Sixth listen: "Eh, it's ok."

Tenth listen: "This is shit."


Apart from Venus and Elevation, there's not much happening here. Even those tracks are rather unimpressive. The guitar work on this album is the most overrated this side of Eric Clapton.
