Musically this album is very challenging. It is quite experimental but in a very pop sensitive way. The beats and the hooks are there in an odd sort of way. It seems to exist separate from Burns's singing yet the two seem to come together to make a good fit. It has a lot of energy and is fun to listen to. I'm surprised how much I liked this album. I have to admit I have never been a fan of the Talking Heads, but after listening to this album and 77 I can understand why they get the attention they get.
