Adventure is the second studio album by American rock band Television, released in April 1978 by Elektra Records. The album features a softer and less aggressive sound compared to their first album, Marquee Moon. Produced by John Jansen, the production rounds off the edges of the band's sound, unlike Andy Johns' work on the first album. While Adventure received positive reviews, it was considered less urgent and satisfying compared to Marquee Moon. The difference was attributed to the material, with Adventure's lyrics being more song-like and less visionary. Musical style On the album's sound, Mark Deming of AllMusic writes, "Where Marquee Moon was direct and straightforward in its approach, with the subtleties clearly in the performance and not in the production, Adventure is a decidedly softer and less aggressive disc, and while John Jansen's production isn't intrusive, it does round off the edges of the band's sound in a way Andy Johns' work on the first album did not."
