The first time I heard this album by Television I thought it was the "Talking Heads". I know the music isn't the same but when "Tom Verlaine" sings these songs it sounds similar to "David Byrne".
This is a great album for those of you that want to hear the raw sounds of what was going on in the 70's in New York at CBGB's. I am personally a big fan of this music and dug most of the bands that came out of this scene.
The band itself had more of a cult following and didn't really get the recognition they were worthy of until many years later. You end up seeing this in allot of really good bands, the people that were a part of it from the start were ready for it while everyone else had to play catch up.
Anyway before I get off track I will let you know that I think this is an important album, especially if you are into the music that was coming out of New York at this time. This was Television's debut album and damn it was a good job. I really like the song "See No Evil" probably one of my top 10 favorite songs of the 70's.
You should do yourself a good deed and have a listen to this album... Everyone deserves a good deed.
