This has some the greatest guitar work ive ever heard. It was instant love for and I must say i'd pick Television over the Ramones anyday when it comes to the New York punk scene. It's influence can be traced to modern bands like the Strokes and Interpol, with the dueling guitars. I also enjoyed the lyrics which can at times be playful such as on Friction "You complain of my dic....tion" and "if I ever catch that ventriloquist I'll squeeze his face right into my fist."
