Television (Television album)

"Television" is the self-titled third studio album by the American rock band Television. The album was released in 1992, fourteen years after the band's second album "Adventure." The album was often referred to as their eponymous album due to it sharing the same name as the band. The group initially disbanded in 1978, only to re-emerge in 1991 and subsequently release "Television".

The album features a total of ten tracks, showcasing the band's signature guitar-driven sound, characterized by intricate interplay between the two lead guitars of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd. The album was recorded at the renowned New York recording studio, Electric Lady Studios, and has the iconic track named "1880 or So," among others.

The music style of this album is mainly Post-punk and New Wave. Despite the long hiatus, the band's core style remained largely unchanged, embracing their roots with their distinctive experimental and avant-garde approach to rock music. The long gap between the second and the third album didn't affect the band's cohesiveness and their unique approach towards their sound.

The album got a mixed response from critics. Some lauded the effort, calling it a worthy comeback, while others found it lacking the raw edge of the band's earlier work. Despite the differences of opinions among critics, the album holds significant value for fans of both the band and of the post-punk genre.
