1001 Albums Summary

How do you categorize Talking Heads? Funk? New wave? Avant-pop? There is something unsettling about this album. David isn’t completely happy. Perhaps even angry. But he’s having fun anyway.

Classic blues guitar rock. Reminds of a dingy bar filled with smoke.

Just can’t get through it. Not invested in the concept. I don’t think it holds up otherwise.

I’m sure this hits someone’s nostalgia button. I was a little bored though.

Great album! It has kind of a synth noir vibe. Horns are layered with atmospheric strings along with spacey samples. There are the occasional heavy guitar riffs to remind us Bowie is rock royalty. And holy crap was that a trap beat on "Girl Loves Me?"

My intro to Polly Jean. Still in my top 5 albums.

Good start.
