This album is filled with insane gems (Days is the best one) and i dont understand why it is not more talked about compare to Marquee Moon 4,1/5

17th January: Television - Adventure (post-punk/new wave, 1978)
Having fallen for the critical darling Marquee Moon recently, it’s interesting to dive into this
one - a sophomore slump so famous that the band almost entirely fell out of relevance after it.
This most certainly is a slump, but it’s not a slump to genuine poor material - this just lacks
the overt creativity and uniqueness of the debut. Gone is much of the prog influence and the long,
winding song structures, and in are some more accessible new wave sounds. And it’s not all bad, in
fact some of the hooks on here are pretty good as far as early new wave goes. It’s just a bit of a
disappointment in context.
5.9 (1st listen)

I'll be fair and not rate "Adventure", which is a good rock album studded with Verlaine's and Lloyd's wonderful guitar work, by how it measures up to "Marquee Moon". Whilst the songs are sturdy and display similar structures and sounds to "Marquee Moon", there is no denying that the style, transcendence and vibe that made their debut so remarkable wasn't quite captured here. Best Songs: 'The Fire', 'The Dream's Dream'

Explores another side of Television's sound, with great tracks like "Careful" and "Days".

Underrated album, of course not as good as Marquee Moon, but still inventive, layered, and often times quite ingenious.
