Fear Of Music

Similarly to what I've said about other artists, I feel that David Byrne is being very true to himself in his music. I don't know if he could do any differently. And that is a great benefit to us all because he is such a unique thinker and performer. We're so lucky that Talking Heads came into existence alongside/inside the punk scene in NYC where there was a great shift happening in music. Almost like a new opening being torn that they were able slide through among the chaos. They don't fit the stereotypes of a punk band but they were defiantly themselves and I think that's the bravest and most difficult thing you can do as an artist and you have to respect that. To me Talking Heads is one of the finest examples of a band that is able to walk a line between pop music and experimentation with grace and style. I identify with the music of Talking Heads/David Byrne more deeply than I do with most music. He chooses subject matter and emotions and ways of expressing them that are staring us in the face all the time but somehow we don't recognize them as something that would be able to constitute a song. One of his many incredible gifts. He had the perfect band to support him and the perfect producer at the controls in Eno here.

A spooked ostrich in a house of mirrors.

Difficult to listen to sober.

Fabulous album. My brother had this on vinyl back in the day. When I bought my first car I figured its CD Player needed a friend so I bought F of M on  CD. In retrospect it’s quite amazing how creative this is. How could a group led by a pasty white boy make Zimbra? There must have been something in the water at Mud Club? Life During Wartime is a classic. I recently thought Taking Heads (or perhaps Weird Al) should remake it as Life During COVID. “Have sanitizer, some toilet paper to last a couple of days. But I got no face mask, ain’t got no haircut, ain’t got CERB from CRA.” This trips off the tongue  quite easily. Unlike Side 1, there are a couple of mediocre songs on side 2 but not so much to move it off a 5

Sexy, weird, nerdy, wobbly but stunningly beautiful. This album is timeless but also a beautiful representation of the fusion intelligent music can bring.

Never really felt the need to listen to some Talking Heads deep tracks. I feel justified in that now.

"This white boy can freak it!" - Brian Eno

Seems like this is the Talking Heads album you’d pick if you didn’t want to like or recognise any of the songs.

Best talking heads album!

Every Heads record back in this period sounds like a complete different band, and it's amazing they caught mainstream success. Wish I could have seen them live once. Basically you'll have equal numbers of people saying this, "Remain in Light," and "Little Creatures" is their best album, but 2/3rds of them are wrong. This is the one, just because coming out in 1979 it doesn't really fit with punk, disco, new wave or rock, but yet it does.

When the Talking Heads formula works, it's funky, weird and uplifting. The latter half of this album fails to capture that for me. A lot of the melodies seem to be all over the place. It screams for more structure to reign in the fun and crazy rhythms. The tones on this are fantastic though. You can feel TH's searching for their sound and getting a little lost. I would recommend heading straight to their next album.

Album to become unhinged to

Another classic Brian Eno record, this time featuring Talking Heads.

Strange experience: I kept waiting for "Life During Wartime" to turn into "Psycho Killer" haha. Classic Talking Heads album. Fully of catchy bops, and I don't even particularly like this band.

How does one conjure up a fear of music? Is it the air that we breathe? The drugs we take? The animals we walk amongst and consume each day? The paper that informs us of the daily happenings in our lives? Is it something that could change our mind? A way to justify finding a city to live in? Whatever it is, Talking Heads seemed to have a good grasp on the feeling. On their third album, and first in a fabled and contentious collaboration with Brian Eno, Talking Heads increasingly eek themselves out of their latent punk roots and roam across a little more global soundscape whilst keeping their toes in firmly experimental waters. As the 70s drew to a close and the 80s began to burst, it was proper time for the band to come to light and remain there for us to see and examine their influence and their fear of music was a means to get there.

This ain't no party

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around. This is just another awesome Talking Heads record. It might be my third or fourth favorite Talking Heads record depending on the day but it's still a great time.

I think it's their best album.

Great! I didn't know this album from Talking Heads, but I loved it!!

It's Talking Heads. It's one of 3 consecutive masterpieces. (Though, here's a fun little tidbit about me, it's my least favorite of the 3 consecutive masterpieces!)

10/10 why didn’t I start listening to these guys sooner?! this album is FUCKING AWESOME! definitely gonna check out this bands other stuff.

Each track is able to invoke a certain kind of strangeness in my imagination that is controlled just as equally between the lyrics, the vocals, and the melody. The latter of which due to Eno's excellent production work that compliments Byrne's style. "I Zimbra" is a great opener that gives us a taste into the type of experimentalism we're dealing with. But it is "Mind" that establishes this constant anxiety and desperation in the protagonist. Someone who is helpless to change his lover's mind. Someone frantically looking a place in the city. Someone obsesses with some urban unrest. Someone stuck living in the highlights of his past. Someone at the mercy of air itself. Each song's lyrics and music builds up to an increasing level of disorder. And then we reach "Heaven" to calm us down in self-reflection. But not for long as we jump into what I find to be the strangest track, "Animals." Not sure if there's something deeper going on due to how much the lyrics seem to only be applicable to literal animals, but it reflects a severe level of psychosis bringing about the kind of absurd level of anxiety we saw in "Air". The next track "Electric Guitar" is probably my least favorite but I really enjoy that scifi atmosphere. I found the last track interesting as the instrumental opening puts us into this trip sequence. The protagonist tries explaining what he sees, but he's so far out of it he can only make out few details. My personal favorite is "Mind", but I found all the first side to be most imaginative. It makes me excited to give a deeper look at their other albums.

Great album for chilling

David Byrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn

I had heard some talking heads tracks before but never sat and properly listened to them till now. I love the lead singers atonal wails, and each track on the album paints a landscape of a dreary industrial area with an unusual element to keep me interested. Favourite track is either air or the dancing for money outtake. I’m not sure why they never finished dancing for money with proper lyrics because it felt almost finished but it made me smile to see the creative process raw like that

Are ass to this

David Byrne is one of those artists who people are going to lose their collective shit over when he dies. Obviously he's adored and lauded (not many other pop stars could pull off what he did on Broadway with American Utopia), but the outpouring of hosannas thrown at him when he goes to his great reward will rival those bestowed on Bowie and Prince when they passed. It's like that old Bill Murray joke from Stripes about Tito Puente: "Tito Puente's gonna be dead, and you're gonna say, 'Oh, I've been listening to him for years, and I think he's fabulous.'" And part of that reassessment will include over-praising this album, which isn't as complete as their follow up, the brilliant "Remain In Light". The key issue I have with this album is that the songs here that are included in "Stop Making Sense" sound MUCH better during that concert. But you could pretty much say the same thing about all of the songs performed during "Stop Making Sense", which will go down as perhaps the greatest concert film of all-time. And maybe that's Byrne's true legacy. "Stop Making Sense" is, as Pauline Kael stated at the time, close to perfection. Byrne knew how to perform his songs live better than anyone could produce on record. And Kael got it somewhat wrong in regards to "Stop Making Sense". The versions of Heaven and Life During Wartime in that concert film aren't just close to perfection. They're downright perfect.

Groundbreaking album by Talking Heads. Fear Of Music is spectacular art, giving foreshadow to the diverse creativity that David Byrne expanded into the 80z and beyond.

No songs on here that I recognised but they’re always an interesting band to listen to. Didn’t find this as memorable as some of their other stuff though

He somehow has an English punk voice but the music is not punk? And simultaneously kind of boring.

I like the majority of the background music, the chord progressions, and the musicianship. The voice and the melodies don’t do much for me. Pretty cool music….but also, not. Not a real fan. Not sure they deserve all of the accolades they get. More like a weirdo leading a band without a ton to offer. Not for me.

It's funny to listen back and realize what was considered 'good' music back then. Repetitive, off-key, monotonous vocals; Clangy but cheesy guitar riffs. To be fair, it's still better than the over-produced, auto-tuned garbage that we are forced to listen to today. Stand out tracks: Drugs, Life During Wartime.

Two reviews ago, during my 532nd review, I wrote a little statement about it finally "clicking" for me and how I only just now understood the reason for all of these albums having been included on the list, even the ones I did not personally like and I was able to understand the cultural impact that some albums have had on musical culture as a whole. I rescind my statement. Since that far gone time (yesterday evening) I have listened to yet two more albums on this list of 1001 albums you MUST hear before you die. Those albums were *Bringing It All Back Home' by Bob Dylan and this album that I am reviewing right now. I no longer understand why any of these two horrendous albums are on any list of albums someone ought to have heard according to the music critics and authors of the book(s). I only now realize that it was specifically Elvis Presley that I could understand the cultural importance of; almost all of the other worthless albums on this long list of sonic torture carry no importance and are only there because the author heard these albums once upon a time at a friend's brother's girlfriend's nephew's party that he had attended at the time and the memory of ingesting his first shot of alcohol (4,2% ABV Coors Lite) and getting "totally wicked!!" during the 80s imprinted the names of these groups and their songs into his mind. For my review of this album in particular, the only song I kind of "liked" (very loosely stated) was the one where they weren't trying to sing properly, which somehow made it the most well-sung

Two talking heads albums in one week? On track for my favorite week on the generator yet. Another great one from the Talking Heads. Especially love Life During Wartime. One of the records I listened to the bonus material from the deluxe edition.

9/10

I vividly remember when this came out I initially thought it was weird, since it was so different from their first 2 more pop albums. It was ant first off-putting, but it steadily grew on me and is now perhaps my favorite album of theirs. Great guitar work throughout, and while I’m not exactly sure what Brian Eno’s “treatments” contributions are, I bet the album would sound different without them.

❤️❤️

Awesome

Eno rules

nice one

No notes. A brilliant album and work of art. Mind and Air are 2 of my favorite songs of all time.

Exceptional album! Talking Heads never disappoints.

I Zimbra is such a fantastic groove, veering into a joyous Crimsonesque jam that always ALWAYS makes me happier than when I put it on. Mind - clever, astute, amusing, paradoxically minimal and complex. Building on the annoyance of confusion, the guitar breakdown at the end solves nothing but is somehow incredibly helpful. Paper is the epitome of Talking Heads funkiness. The verse part, with the little spoken stream of consciousness double meaning anxiety invoking lyrics - "hold on to that paper, there just might be a chance that it MIGHT work out!" Cities is embedded in my skull (almost typed 'school' just now). What does it say that I often wake up in the middle of the night with this running in my head. Look aver there, dry ice factory, good place to get some thinking done. A guitar solo like no other. This song speaks to me so hard for reasons I just can't explain. "Forgot to mention Memphis, home of Elvis and the Ancient Greeks. Do I smell, do I smell home cooking? It's only the river, it's only the river." We start seeing the source of the anxiety, which the scratchy funk is an expression of. Find myself a city to live in. I got three passports, a couple of visas, don't even know my real name. Being in the Talking Heads is alienating. Life During Wartime is a metaphor for touring, which Cities is a kind of preface. You can almost take it literally. Also SO DANCEABLE I'M LOSING MY MIND. Flip it over to side two. Don't get too far into your own head. Ahh, too late, Memories Can't Wait. Listen to the Living Colour version of this, it will change your life. Whatever this party is, I just want to go home. "Other people can go home. Other people can split. I can never quit." So heavy, dude. But it's a solid idea that I'm not hearing from anyone else, I wish I could love this end part more but that wouldn't be possible. The chorus of Air haunts me daily as well. "Some people never had experience with (Air)" sung with the airiest of vocals... so perfect. It's perfect. I don't know how but it is. And another ripping solo at the end, heavy Talking Heads is just so satisfying. A little anger, feels good to get it off your chest possibly. Heaven is not my favorite thing, but still so clever and the band hits it so perfectly. Nothing ever happens, this feels like a little joke, and it's pretty funny. In heaven, everyone leaves your party at exactly the same time. This is something David Byrne fantasizes about, a place where something isn't happening, where he is in the moment, kissing someone again. Contrast! Nothing is exciting. It's hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, could be this much fun. Animals. My favorite song. Animals think They understand Trusting them a big mistake Animals want to change my life I will ignore Animals advice... absolute genius, the best of the earlier Talking Heads. Don't even know what a JOKE is.

Arty, experimental, funky, punky, neurotic and amazing.

I was always scared of listening to Talking Heads albums cause I thought they'd be too weird but I keep being proven wrong. This is another great, fun album and the core of Cities - Life During Wartime is incredible

One of the greatest albums of all time, for a long time!

Talking Heads & Eno, de meesters van de 'weird grooves'. Want anders kun je het niet omschrijven. Elke song heeft z'n eigen onorthodoxe schwung, die eerst ongemakkelijk is, maar je al snel hypnotiseert op het ritme van Byrne's heupen. En waar die groove echt gigantisch in your face is op - wellicht hun beste album - 'Remain in Light' - plant 'Fear Of Music' eerst een zaadje in je oor die pas later na meerdere luisterbeurten opbloeit tot een aanstekelijke, funky en vooral eigenzinnige bloem. Waar z'n opvolger sterk voortborduurt op Afrobeat en High Life genres, is dit veel meer geworteld in de spooky en curieuze ritmes uit de Krautrock scene. 'I Zimbra' vindt een tussenweg, en slaat dus de brug tussen de twee. Maar bijvoorbeeld 'Animals', 'Air' en het geweldige 'Mind' zijn zo vreemd, en tekent de band als artistiek buitenbeentje in een tijd waar op muziekvlak zoveel gebeurde dat het moeilijk was om echt een buitenbeentje te zijn. Maar TH lukt het toch, door die unieke positie als hoogstvreemde, grensverleggende kunstgroep met de aantrekkingskracht van een mainstream pop band. En ik denk dat dit album die tweestrijd het best laat zien. Het dualisme gaat verder dan dat. Op deze plaat is er telkens een strijd gaande tussen 'donker' en 'licht'. Veel songs hebben de gloomy energie van een doorgewinterde post-punk/goth band, maar zelfs een paranoïde meesterwerk als 'Memories Can't Wait' laat altijd even de zon achter de wolken vandaan komen. Dat lichtvoetige, tegen een achtergrond van angst, paranoïa en isolatie, is zo waanzinnig knap gedaan. 'Life During Wartime' swingt als een uiterst catchy new wave band, maar heeft een deprimerende ondertoon. Ik denk dat die 'weird groove' is waar ik het over had. Je lichaam wil bewegen maar je hoofd zegt telkens dat dat bij deze muziek niet de bedoeling is. En als je dan toch die tegenstelling van donker en licht wil maken, dan is 'Heaven' natuurlijk obvious, alsof de hemel openbreekt. Een album waar ik naarmate ik meer van hun discografie leerde kennen steeds meer van ben gaan houden, omdat het de essentie van David Byrne's werk het beste vangt, denk ik. Die spanning tussen de mentale geesten van een uiterst intelligente man, en zijn waanzinnige dance moves. Die unieke positie waar het zich in nestelde door dit in 1979 uit te brengen heeft er voor gezorgd dat ze voor eeuwig én bij subculturen én in de mainstream in het gedachtegoed zijn beland. 'Fear Of Music' is daarnaast ook een titel die de lading perfect dekt. Het schrikt eerst af, maar het omarmt je als je het de tijd gunt. 9,5/10 Highlights: Mind Cities Life During Wartime Memories Can't Wait

Wat een fantastisch album is dit. Hele plaat heeft een fantastische post-punk groove. Maar de funk/dancerock van Remain in Light piept al door de kieren. Fear of Music bouwt voort op disco ritmes en catchy melodieen van de vorige twee albums, maar deze keer een stuk dystopischer, vuiger en vunziger. Post-punk op z'n best! Talking Heads zet je deze misschien niet aan om een slinger aan je feestje te geven. Het wordt een minder gezellig plaatje door het dystopische urban karakter, maar daardoor niet minder sterk. Afhankelijk wanneer je het me vraagt vind ik Fear Of Music misschien wel hun beste werk. Ik twijfel door de laatste paar tracks op het album, die toch iets minder speciaal zijn dan de A-kant, tot aan Heaven. 9/10 Highlights I Zimbra Cities Life During Wartime Heaven

From the dada inspired I Zimbra, to the classic Talking Heads Cities, and Life During Wartime, through the mellow vibes of Heaven. This album is a classic.

The Talking Heads continue to be fantastic. David Byrne's enigmatic, almost awkward, everyman lyrics and vocals are such a breath of fresh air amongst the music of the 70's and 80's, and are a large part of the band's timelessness (although the influence of the other band members is not to be understated!) Favorite track: today, I'll say "Life During Wartime," although "Memories Can't Wait" also stuck out to me on this listen.

Fantastic album. Always delivers on this album. David Byrne can’t do any wrong in my opinion. This music is infectious.

I need to disclose that after watching Stop Making Sense at the cinema, right now I'm experiencing a "Talking Heads Renaissance". I remember listening to this album a couple of years ago, the only songs that struck out to me at that moment were "I Zimbra" and "Life During Wartime". During this last listen, I found all of the songs to be amazing, energetic, and just perfect. Quite a pleasant surprise.

my favourite talking heads album <3 mind is a masterpiece

Good old Talking Heads <3

FINALLY SOME TALKING HEADS!!! This review may be a little biased because I love the Talking Heads. They are just so groovy, funky, influential, innovative, and most importantly fun to listen to. Talking Heads and LCD Sound System are my goto party bands when I want to have a good time. This is the first Talking Heads album were they really found their sound and started making truly great music. The first 6 songs on this album are really strong, funky, and have great melodies. The rest are weaker but I've grown to really love them. Heaven is a lovely little song, I LOVE the outro to Animals, it is just so weird, and this may be a strange opinion but Drugs is one of my favorite songs off of this album. I just love how creepy and weird it is, and that guitar solo is just perfect (listening tip: the more of a stank face you make while listening to this solo the better it sounds). Somehow I wrote this whole review without mentioning how great David Byrne's lyrics and vocal delivery is. Everything he does and sings about is so weird, but he just sells it so well that it becomes infectious and endearing. I also love how the guitars are really understated on this album and really let the vocal melodies breathe. They are more of a rhythmic element rather than a melodic one. High 5!

This album is music heaven for me. Play it all night long

Fabulous album from the Talking Heads, as always.

Such a good album. For 79, this is absurdly ahead of it's time.

I had an awful morning yesterday, just got news that made me want to scream and cry and give up. And then I got this album. I’ve actually been listening to Talking Heads a lot in my personal time, just throwing on greatest hits playlists and what not for relaxation or when I’m walking around. Idk if other fans consider this the best TH album or whatever, but it was exactly what I needed to hear yesterday. A comfort in the dark.

A classic, especially with I Zimbra, Mind, Heaven, Life During Wartime, and Air. Honestly just this entire album is great and was a huge part of my childhood. Love the instrumentation and lyrics. Great beats.

Love it. Wouldn’t have been 1 of the 4 Talking Heads I would have chosen. But they are all brilliant

Favourites Cities Life During wartime Heaven Animals I love Talking Heads

Life During Wartime and Heaven are great.

Hah! Quoth I, as the first album is revealed. I must have played this 100 times back in the day. I wrote a lesson plan around the lyrics to this LP when I was a student teacher. I still have the original LP with the lovely checkerplate embossed sleeve, and the lyric sheet insert, of course. It's still in a lovely playable condition, but has been superseded by CD copies and clones thereof for the car. Do you imagine that I think it's wonderful? You imagine correctly. Good start.

*disclaimer - multiple listen bias as I already knew this album* Whilst not my favourite talking heads album it has some of their best songs on (cities, memories can’t wait, heaven) and it’s really cool to hear as a transitional album between first 2 more straightforward post punk/art rock albums and the experimental and very hard to define Remain In Light. As with most talking heads albums it is really not much like anything else. My one critism is that slightly trails of in quality right at the end.

This is comparable to Bowie’s Lodger record, released the same year in its unhinged eclectic zaniness. Lodger is my favorite Bowie record. This isn’t quite as good as that but is still great.

Amazing

will listen to it more. it's great

Talking heads is an immediate five but I will say this is probably my least favorite of their first four. It’s a unique blend of their early sound with the experimental elements that they will soon amp up. So cool album when looking through the lens of the bands development and has some of their all time best songs. Still think it is weaker than the albums around it on a song by song basis. Rating: 4.6

Perfect!

You cant spell zany without "omg I wish to make a twig nest inside the Talking Heads and lay electric eggs there.

Look over there, a dry ice factory. Good place to get some thinking done.

Album 493 of 1001 Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous Rating : 4.5 / 5 Was thinking this may not hold up to some of the Talking Heads I've heard but was wrong. Good album. Some great tracks. No losers in the bunch.

I went on a deep dive of the Talking Heads a little over ten years ago (A+ decision), and I came away thinking Fear Of Music was my favorite album by them. The brilliance of Remain In Light finally clicked with me later and I think that one holds the top spot for TH, but Fear of Music is still a masterpiece in its own right. It’s so quirky, awkward, paranoid, funny at times, and existential. David Byrne is at his nervous energetic best. I Zimbra starts things off in Africa or something, Cities are traveled, and we go to Heaven and find ourselves underwhelmed. This is the album that made me love Talking Heads, and I’m very grateful for that.

Their signature sound Dances playfully along This alt pop album

Perfect album to jog to. Makes paranoia fun!

Best album of 1979, eh? That’s a mean feat given all the New Wave, Two-Tone, punk, disco, early rap, and prog rock bombs dropping at the same time. Interesting that Talking Heads could be considered to represent any of those. I liked this album. I loved Byrne’s voice and the blessed rhythm section. Again, I find myself wrestling with the “it’s not my FAVOURITE Talking Heads album” fallacy. So let’s try this: if this wasn’t Talking Heads, would I be raving about it? Yup.

Absolutely brilliant.

Heel goed album, zo veel rare funk, gave invloeden, en echt origineel.

I just love the talking heads!

Fear of Music is the Talking Head's third album, and includes some of their biggest hits, like "Life During Wartime," "Cities," and "Heaven." The band's version of art-rock funk had fully development, complete with their intricate rhythms and Byrne's quirky lyrics. Fear of Music was the second of the band's albums to be produced by Brian Eno. The collaboration was very successful, resulting in some of the band's most acclaimed work. This incredible collection of songs helped make the Talking Heads one of the most influential bands in popular music.

I feel like I've gotten a lot of repeat artists recently. In the past two weeks, I have gotten my second Steely Dan album, my third Pink Floyd album, my second Sonic Youth album, my third Beastie Boys album, my second Taylor Swift album, and now my second Talking Heads album. Interesting. Anyways, I really like this album! I liked More Songs About Buildings and Food, but I felt it could be improved on. Fortunately, it was improved on in its followup, Fear of Music. My two big complaints with More Songs were the singing and writing. In hindsight, I don't know why I complained about the singing. I said it was goofy, but I don't know why I had a problem with it. Maybe it just grew on me or something, but I like the singing on Fear of Music. It's fun. I complained about the writing being a bit unclear in More Songs, which was fixed in this album. These songs are quite interesting, and the writing provides some interesting messages. The songs are good, and the sound is fun. Despite the fun sound of the album, it's also weirdly dark in a way. I saw someone say that this album could also be called "Music of Fear" and I think that's pretty fitting. Songs like the closer, "Drugs" embody that very well, and the themes of songs like "Mind" and "Air" fit that as well. There's lots to say about this album, but I think I'll leave it at that. This is just an amazing album that cements my liking of Talking Heads. Light 5/5

As a King Crimson fan, I love hearing Robert Fripp's pointillist guitar work in I Zimbra. Two years before King Crimson's Discipline we get hints of what's to come (it's criminal that Discipline is not in the 1001). The classics alone on this album make it a 5 - Life During Wartime, Memories Can't Wait, and Heaven are all fantastic (and I love the line in Life During Wartime, "I changed my hairstyle so many times now I don't know what I look like"). On top of that, all the other tracks are excellent and the recording quality is outstanding. Easy 5.

The Talking Heads rock. Funky, quirky, funny at times, this was a very enjoyable album. Cities and Air were my favorites but the whole album worked for me. Definitely feels like the start of a shift in the music that came before and what would come in the 80s.

There are some Talking Heads albums that I won't give 5 stars to, but this isn't one of them. A great leap forward.

4.9 - really cool album. He really is super unique and his own thing

Great album with no skips, but also none of my very favourite Talking Heads songs. 4.5/5

Simply one of the most original and influencial band ever. The only song I didnt like and think it was just put by force was the last one all other is perfct

Every song every album. Brilliance.

A great album and one of three where Talking Heads worked well with Brian Eno producing.

I LOVE TALKING HEADS SO MUCH. This album is quite very good.

This is a Talking Heads stan account

Strange voice. In a good way. Lyrics sound like single words with some fluff around it. Again in a good way.

The second talking heads album in our journey, and man, I just love them. This album was such a blast to listen to.

Awesome.

Really great. Can't wait for Stop Making Sense.

genius

love the talking heads.

I’ve listened to this album four and half ish times in the past two days not knowing what score to give it. This is great. Just interesting rhythms throughout.

Is this the best Talking Heads album?
