With Eno gone and less of a clash/challenge of musical ideas, Roxy Music's edges started to get even more rounded out. There was more of the ir rock n roll and pop, and less room for their old art-rock sound and Eno's electronic contributions.
I don' t find this quite as interesting as the first two albums, though the Teutonic "bittersweet" and the somewhat medieval "triptych" are great tracks.
The album cover, featuring two German RM fans (who also helped Ferry with the translations for "Bittersweet") was scandalous enough, especially with the suggestive finger placement of the model on the left, that it created a lot of buzz around the album, but also saw it being banned/repackaged in several countries.
