1 Oh my God Brian Eno produced this… smh. I’ve mentioned before that I'm not the biggest Talking Heads fan. Like, what even is this music? Funk music for people who are really into Andy Warhol and Roxy Music? That’s the vibe I’ve gotten from the band on everything of theirs I’ve heard prior, and that’s what I was greeted with immediately here. Only in this case, halfway through, it was sprinkled with some of the most annoying electronic noises I’ve ever heard (dammit Eno!). It didn’t get much better from there… in fact, I groaned once I realized Once in a Lifetime is on this album. The only thing I may ask myself when I hear this song is why I’m listening to it. The rest of the album is just repetitive electronic loops with David Byrne being David Byrne all over them - the strongest points for me were the songs at the end that involved him dialing it back a bit. I have no idea why these guys are critical darlings with a cult following. Because that’s the case though, I’m sure we’ll be seeing even more of them on this list, so I guess they have a couple more chances coming to them ahead. I do genuinely like the song And She Was, so hopefully they have other stuff out there I’ll enjoy as well.
Just bad
Gar nicht meins. Irgendwie lärm
I fully respect this album and understand why people would like it; it's just not my cup of tea. Once in a lifetime i could revisit; the rest of the album I would rather not listen to again.
Basically unlistenable.
Quite possibly the worst band of all time

They have much better albums, but this one is crap.

Notes: Had to skip the first song half way through, just too much going on for me. Oh “Once in a Lifetime” is a famous one, recognise it from like a current Netflix show advert. I assume this is gonna be the better song of the lot, but I’m not sure I’m a huge fan of this song anyway - not awful but not anything special. A lot of this, especially the lyrics, feel like they’re being made up on the spot. Even though I think it’s because of an intentional style they’re doing (idk maybe to make it sound more informal or like a live performance?) it just sounds a bit messy to me. I think it got a bit better as it went on but I also started paying less attention. Still not something I’d listen to. Rating 1 cus I think if the album was put on while chilling at a friends I would notice it and want the music changed - not as bad as the last 1 star though
Öh, avausraitaa jaksoin hetken, ja ajattelin jättää siihen. Annoin nyt sitten mahiksen muillekin biiseille pienellä pikakelausmeiningillä. Mukana oli jotain hyvääkin, mutta monet kappaleet kääntyi joko kakofoniaksi tai itseään toistaviksi. Johonkin biisiin oli varmaan sämplätty jotain Windows XP:n käynnistysääntä tai jotain... En kuunnellut loppuun.
Talking Heads nimenä herätti mielenkiintoa, mutta tämä oli kyllä todella huono levy ja iso pettymys. Ihmeellistä kikkailua ja pimputtelua ilman mitään punaista lankaa.
Not really feeling this group apart from ‘Once in a lifetime’
born under punches is cool af. carries iconic vibes fr. would love to shoplift a vinyl of this bc i want it but not enough to buy it yk. punk rock aesthetic. overall, an 8/10. i can now die peacefully.
I’m
Not sure if I liked this album.
