I'm not a huge Talking Heads fan, but this is a good album. The first art rock album I've heard that really stands out as a solid album with a good songs and good sounds. It makes me think of the song Take Five which plays with doing a jazz song in 5/4 time something that is basically never done. This album is full of a pop sound that has a certain odd edge to it with Byrne's singing and quirky beats behind him.
Perhaps the most interesting thing to me is that this album was made in 1977 but sounds as though it could have been made anytime from the 60's to the 00's. This goes back to what I've repeatedly talked about that good music, good pop music has a timeless and universal appeal and this is good pop music.
