It always frustrated me that folks lumped the title track in the same category as "God Bless The USA" and such, when it's actually an indictment. I grew up with this album, and even listening with older, wiser ears...I still find it great. The melodies and the songcraft still solid. I get that his voice and his style may not be for everyone, and the sound of it all is full-on 80s stadium rock This album gave voice to a certain disillusioned, working class, segment of the population. Unfortunately,I suspect it will be looked upon today as a segment that is not as important as others, and just needs to shut up. And that's misguided.

This is the album that some folks proclaimed they "stopped sounding like Radiohead and came into their own". While I feel they managed to make their best one at that time,I thought the Radiohead comparisons weren't entirely fair. They were also better song craftsmen. I think Thom York can be overrated.

A beautiful album.

I always thought they did some fascinating stuff. I think, now that I'm older, I just don't appreciate their sound, which can seem a bit whiny to me. That said, I appreciate the material, especially The Weight and I Shall Be Released.

This was a joy to hear again Love this one.

Beautiful orchestrations and I enjoy the eccentricity of it all. I may in the minority, but I prefer it to Yellow Brick Road.

Know this one back to front. I love it, even if it's of a time

Curtis is one of my all time favorites, and this is one of his best.

A classic. Still holds up.

She's fantastic!

I have kind a soft spot for Scott Walker AND he was bizarre as hell. This one's a bit moody mushy for me, but I get the appeal. Not one I reach for often, but I appreciate it.

Classic.

Not my all time favorite Talking Heads, but damn it's good.

I always leaned toward Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees, but I recognize the quality here.
