It's hard not to be disappointed by a band that is as hyped as Talking Heads. While I wouldn't call it bad by any means, I couldn't help thinking when it finished: that's it? Maybe my expectations were too high after "More Songs About Buildings and Food."
My favorite song is easily "Air," which is basically a protest that people don't understand that even something as simple as breathing can be difficult for someone suffering from depression. Or, at least, that's what I got out of it. I was able to glean some larger meaning from that song, but I confess I was not as successful with the others (i.e. "Paper").
I am not sure how many more Talking Heads albums there are on The List, but I hope if there are more the lyrical quality will improve somewhat. Still, a perfectly fine album.
RATING: 3/5
