Philly, I believe.

It's good don't get me wrong, others have mentioned, there are tons of exciting background elements but it does drag a bit in the second half and Fear of Music is so much better. I do understand why it's the more 'important' record and for the significance factor I'll bump it up from a 7 to an 8

i hate to be that guy but i still don't "get" the album. it's alright so i gave it a 6, but i just can't seem to understand what the fuss is about that makes everyone love it so much. i've tried, it's just not for me.

Leave Qwertyy alone. Being a Talking Head's fan aint a ****ing club, where you're cool if you like them and you aint if you don't. That is some ****ing hipster **** right there and don't do it to Talking Heads who are one of of my favorite bands.

PS. STFU

Think I have to agree with everyone else about how the album kind of tapers off after the midpoint, but still, Born Under Punches and Once in a Lifetime are enough to bring me back to this album again and again.

Fun fact, my first exposure to Talking Heads was a cover of Once in a Lifetime on the Muppet Show performed by Kermit the Frog.

Even Kermit's version stuck with me for 20 years after when I finally returned to it via Talking Heads. Great ****in' song, Kermit or not.



You're welcome.

Talking Heads are massively popular

I'd pick a different band to say qwerty isn't cool for liking

The point is your fanboyitis flairs up and you start trippin balls like Chula on Ledsergic Acid Diezeppelinmide. Can't you just chill and let Ol' Qwerty voice an opinion without you judging him?

There's definitely a fair bit of that going around - not just in this thread. Don't like what I like? You must be retarded and/or have terrible tastes. It's so hard to live on a planet where everyone doesn't think like me.

I love the second half of this album. Houses in Motion and Seen and Unseen are aural sex. I actually like them more than Once in a Lifetime. Listening Wind is more relevent and impactful today then it was back then. And the Overload is a crushing end to the flames, though the heat goes on after the album is done.

And each song is dripping and burning with energy.
