Mid Country, Mid Road. But seriously it has to recognized this album would not be getting these rave reviews and pulling massive numbers if it wasn’t under the name it’s under. That band is gone now unfortunately and we’re left with this entirely different thing that just isn’t on the same level
Easiest 10 of my life. The emotion, the passion, the uniqueness. It’s truly an other worldly experience. Not music, but a work of art. I had to take a step back and think after this. About my life, about my attempts at art. Nothing can usurp this. Give up. Music is over. Art in general is over. Congrats Brad you did it. Austrian painters everywhere would be proud.

What the fuck. Just why. Is David Bryne the only member of Talking Heads capable of cooking. This shit is assssssss. Especially the songs that make fun or use Talking Heads instrumentals. Like these fuckers made those wtf. I was not excepting this to be so bad. The fucking ass 90s production, old ass singers trying to be sexy (Debbie Harry namely), and goddamn nonsensical lyrics that you can draw no meaning from all make this one of the e worst albums I’ve heard. Also the lack of David ... read more
Would I rather have the needles needed inside my bone for the bone to regrow properly violently removed from my arm with myself being full conscious and feeling all of it again, or listen to this album. I would listen to this album. But would I rather get my lungs punctured a couple of my ribs broken and my kidney falling out of place by getting rolled over by a log again, or listen to this album. I would rather take the log
A step forward, but a poor structure and massive standouts make the album on the whole a middling experience
