Very enjoyable upon first listen with its own unique sound. The song Once in a Lifetime is a classic.

Very odd but a really fresh sounding album, even today it sounds really different to a lot of things that are around.

A paranoia induced rhythmic jam jewel. Clearly informed by the sensory overload of living in modern times. The record holds up wonderfully in the age of the internet. Apparently album closer 'the overload' was an attempt to create a song in the style of Joy Division after only reading about them. I still think they cheated.

Highlights: The Great Curve, Houses in Motion, Born Under Punches, Once in a Lifetime

Lovely punchy album for the ones on the road. It's the riffs and the bass which bring this album to such lofty heights. Love this one!

I really didn't expected this album would be so good. I just checked this one easily because of Radiohead. But When I listened this one first. It became one of my Fav album.

It's a very interesting instrumental experiment and has one of the best songs ever in Once in a Lifetime but I would recommend their first 3 albums and Speaking in Tongues over this one.

Another cutting edge album. Talking Heads alternative / dance combo peaked with this album with every track pretty much on the money. Once in a Lifetime took them global but it's the first 3 songs that stand out for me. All are masterpieces.
