More Songs About Buildings And Food

Yeah it was pretty good

Short, sharp, tight funky. Take me to the river is an all time cover. Brian Eno is a genius

This is the Talking Heads before Afrobeat really took over as an influence. I really enjoy the second half of this album a lot and I think it is paced very well. The playing is incredibly tight (the drums on I’m Not In Love are *chef kiss*) and some wild guitar effects to make it extra funky. I tend to prefer more of their later output, but this one is still very nice and has a lot of songs that I show people if they ask about good Talking Heads starter songs. Favorite track: I’m Not In Love Least favorite track: The Good Thing

Never loved this band. Sorry.

Unique vocal sound. Kinda funky 70s rock.

Has some good songs, but definitely not the best that Talking Heads has to offer.

Enjoyable with interesting vocals, not a genre I'd typically choose to listen to but I do think I got something out of it

Own this on vinyl, love all things Talking Heads!

Great album with a unique sound without going overboard with instruments. Love the bass lines and guitar riffs. Drums aren't bad too. Cool album but not absolutely killer songs. High 3.5

Weird vibes. Fun.

It's the talking heads, who doesn't love them. Imagine the mountains of cocaine that fuel this odessy.

Not for me

Decent.

Day 37 of Albums You Must Hear.. More Songs About Buildings and Food is the second album from New Wave band Talking Heads. I reviewed their debut album ‘77 about a month ago and enjoyed it. Talking Heads sophomore offering finds the band with a new producer, Brian Eno, who would help the band add a bit more danceability to their already polished sound, resulting in Talking Heads coming more into their own style that would become more and more “uniquely them” for the next few years. On MSABAF, singer David Byrne would broaden his singing a bit more, bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz would bring even more of a pulse to the rhythm section and Jerry Harrison would continue to create funky synthesizer and guitar effects. The cover of Al Green’s Take Me to the River was a smash hit for the band and is an absolute gem! I’m Not in Love is another great track that can easily get stuck in your head all day. I had fun with Talking Heads More Songs About Buildings and Food and their unique approach to punk rock. Please share your thoughts, memories and opinions!!

Talking heads!

All around fun album, would jam to again. Good for low key gathering

Meh

A middling album from a great band.

It’s the Talking Heads, of course it is going to be fantastic. It was! Why though? Instrumentation, is why. This is a band, not a pop group, so there is more to listen to than just lyrics and basic rhythms

I do like Talking Heads, though this isn't my favourite album of theirs. Some good songs , and love Tina Weymouth's bass playing, but I feel like they perfected their chops on later records. Still very much worth a listen.

Artsy.

Meh don't really like the Talking Heads

meer ouwelullen rock

Gewoon chill

Saai

Way better than the other album I listened to! Solid nice vibes, bouncy and light with a few bangers. 4 cuz it’s better than the last lol but I’m being generous

Started strong but ultimately too long and too similar of songs

Didn't really like it.

Ganska blekt ändå tyvärrrrrr

Tyhjänpäivästä renkutusta

Fun album.

Not feeling this one. 0/5.

Automatic five stars

an 8. Cool

Spotify. Fave song Warning Sign

Super fun and catchy. Realizing more and more why some rando on RYM described LCD Soundsystem as a carbon copy of Talking Heads (in a good way), even though he was totally wrong.

There are too many Talking Heads albums on this list. Just like all the others, about a third of these tracks are okay, the other two-thirds are pointless, repetitive, boring, or annoying. I'm being generous with two stars.

These guys are so much fun

Ihme sekameteliä koko levy, ei enää.

Eno's producer sound doesn't really click for me, even after hearing his solo output. Solid songs, the second half especially, but not nearly as strong as those on the first album. The emphasis on the rhythm section is neat, but everything on top of it is a bit sparse.

more dorky 70s rock.... it's not awful but there really doesn't need to be so much of it on this list. 2/5.

I just don't like his voice
