I love this whole album, but then again I was about 15/16 when it came out - so it was also timing. People who loved late 70s Talking Heads tend to no like it. It's definitely their most accessible album. I may have mentioned this so sorry if I have, but the artist who did the cover for this album also did REM's Murmur album. His name was Reverend Howard Finster and he was a preacher and was known for his neivate art or folk art. I saw an exhibit of his stuff in my hometown at Toledo Museum of Art around 1988. He painted scenes like the one on this album on old TV sets and other objects as well as wood etc. I loved the colors, but the hyper Christian message I didn't care for back then because I was already living in the bible belt - but the combination was intriguing.
You should add “Remain In Light” to your Sunday reaction slot - I’ve only requested “Born under Punches” and “Once In a Lifetime” so far from that album and it’s an absolute banger mate! The more Talking Heads the better! 🔥👏🏻
You may want to check Tina's band "Tom Tom Club' Watch the "Stop Making Sense" movie and when the rest of Talking heads take a break she does a few Tom Tom Club songs.
Rory did you ever watch their concert movie? You did a few videos off of it, movie is "Stop Making Sense", do yourself a favour mate, just gotta watch that if you haven't yet.
Fear Of Music, Remain In Light, and Speaking in Tongues is all you’d ever need on a Deserted Island
I dig this band as much as you do. Thanks for reacting.
Whata beautiful song !! Rory thanks ¡¡ Bye !! 👍🤗🌹
Yup Talking Heads ARE great.
The music video for this song is really cool too
I always loved the production on this whole album. The drums and base just sound gigantic.
👍 One of their biggest hits. At some point, check out "Stay Up Late."
Was gonna mention that one!
Yeah, great choice Lydia! 👏🏻
