More Songs About Buildings And Food

This is the transitional album where Brian Eno came on board as a producer, turning Talking Heads from an arty NYC proto punk band into something that you could dance to. I haven’t listened to this album as much as some of the others - not because it’s not good, but because the live versions of some of these songs on Stop Making Sense (notably their cover of Al Green’s Take Me to the River) are even better than the ones here.

It's interesting to hear the direction they started to take with this album, after a debut album that was more raw. Somehow about half the songs were a bit irritating to me, but some were real gems, even though the album seems to be pretty coherent.
