....I know a lot of people love the talking heads, so I'll try to be respectful. This album has some solid grooves(crosseyed and painless for one)....the difference between this and parliament though is parliament sounds like they're actually having fun.Yeah the main culprit in my heavy dislike of the heads is david byrne...it's like having to listen robin williams or a mad scientist front a funk band....It's like your listening to a solid afro-beat album but having your anthropology prof talk over it.
...Yeah I'll admit that the music is kind of interesting and they're pretty innovative...there's just such a heavy prescence of art-school pretension...courtesy of david byrne, that drives me away.
"once in a lifetime" is the most cringe inducing song ever.
