A noticable difference between Adventure and Marquee Moon is in the production. Where Marquee Moon is a raw and straight forward album, Adventure has softer and more layered sound with added nuances, such as keyboard textures and back-up vocals. Two of the songs, "Foxhole" and "Careful" were older songs from the band's live set, however, several songs have a reputation as being "filler." The complex guitar work of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd that gave Marquee Moon its appeal is present on Adventure too.
