me. this is been on my purchase list for so long, and for some reason i've never pulled the trigger. I know most of the songs, and love it, but for haven't bought for reason's unknown to me.

I'm with PopTodd, but I know quite a few people here don't think it's all that special.

Adventure is pretty nifty too!

I own it, only because I have an aversion to selling stuff back. Many times I go back to an album after an initial dismissal and love it, so I try tnot to impulsively get rid of things. This is not one of those albums though. An overrated piece of dog shit if you ask me.

i like the first few songs on Adventure more than anything on Marquee Moon. But i can't listen to either all the way through.

I own it but I rarely listen to it. I'm afraid I think it's vastly over-rated.

I bought it a few months back and didn't really like it. Haven't revisited it yet.

I suspect that it'll click for half of the naysayers here someday. I bought it in college and it didn't really do very much for me so I sold it back. I repurchased it on a whim to fill out a Columbia House order many years later and its now in my top five of all time.

Don't give up on it.
