It is insane and I love it. Remain In Light feels more insane musically, but this feels more insane lyrically. Or something like that. Razz

Ooooohhhh - people are puting some good stuff in their charts if the AOTD is anything to go by.

My personal favourite Talking Heads album.. As quirky and oroginal now as it was 35 years ago!

I consider this to be my favourite Talking Heads album (only listened to 3, definitely need to check out the rest of their discography). I love its energy, funkiness and humour, yet a song like "Heaven" is incredibly beautiful, dreamy and... heavenly. Also like the high number of one-word song titles.

Favourite tracks: "Life During Wartime" & "Heaven"
