There are still two more albums by Roxy Music on the list, maybe I’ll change my mind, but right now I feel a little underwhelmed.

#307 Roxy Music – Avalon

It’s background music, really. Like the music in older movies from the 70’s and 80’s.

It’s not necessarily bad music, but it fails to make an impact. There are no real peaks in any of the song. It’s very calm and the songs are really similar. I think it might definitely be possible to not notice that you skipped to the next song if there wasn’t a break between them.

I have a feeling that it works for people with a broken heart though. It probably goes well with tissues, chocolate and the thought of you never falling in love again.

#394 Roxy Music – Avalon

I said before, Roxy Music is background music. With this album it’s not the case, making it definitely better than Avalon, way better actually.

This album has more attitude, more changes in voices, it’s overall more lively, which is really important to me. I’d rather listen to someone scream into the mic or sing with a bad, but emotional voice than songs that always have the same pitch.

Though I have to say the title song “For your pleasure” is again an example of background music…and it’s 6 minutes, which is way too long for this kind of song!
