Re: (TV) third album
I have to agree with Robert Christgau...
Television [Capitol, 1992]
I prefer the more rocking, songful old Television, but it's a tribute to Tom
Verlaine's conceptual restlessness and force of personality that in a world
where alternative guitar means making noise or mixing and matching from the
used bins, these four veterans have regrouped with a distinct new sonic
identity. Droll, warm-hearted, sophisticated, cryptic, jazzy yet unjazzlike,
they sound like nothing else--except, just a little, old Television, mainly
because Verlaine has ignored the Lloyd Cole jokes and refused to alter his
voiceprint. B+
One of my favorite records...
