Amazing guitars as you'd expect from Television. I mean you can literally hear R.E.M. cutting away their musical umbilical cord on 'Glory'. And thats just the jangly bits. The songs themselves are not as strong as Marque Moon, with some underwhelming choruses. Tom Verlaine was by now now a truly accomplished musician, looking to play in good taste. As a result, the child like thrill of learning as you go along, and the punk 'friction' of their previous record is lost. Still, a decent enough record just not as striking as their debut. Cos I'm a spaz, this was my first time hearing Adventure, so merry times were had.
