Talking Heads is so unique and different in so many ways! They are by far my favorite band and always will be. This album expresses many sides of Talking Heads and I wish more people would appreciate their older music. I enjoy this Album along with all their other ones:) Enjoy n groove!!!!
Thank You For Sending Me an Angel, indeed!

I will forever be grateful to the DJ who decided to play parts of this album on an Iowa radio station in 1978. I was 16 and a junior in high school and it made me realize there was an escape hatch. My life was never the same after that, and to this day TH is still my favorite band. Amazingly, their early stuff just never gets old.
TALKING HEADS ROCK!

One of the great bands of the 80s. This is a really cool album. A lot of good songs. Check out some of their other stuff.
Peace
Punk, Funk, Brian Eno and Quirkiness

I saw the band in 1978, shortly after the release of this album, at the Cleveland Agora (a large bar). It ranks as one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Tina Weymouth, who is about as tall as her bass guitar, thumped out the opening chords to Psycho killer and I was enthralled, slightly spooked, and somewhat aroused. David Byrne and the rest of the band were still in their rock-minimalist presentation phase, so the bandmembers didn't speak at all between numbers. At the end, David Byrne stepped up to the microphone and said "are there any questions?" This album, produced by Brian Eno, contains songs that will echo in my mind forever---Take Me to the River, The Big Country, Stay Hungry, Artists Only. Everytime I fly and look out the window, the words and music of The Big Country come into my mind, having lived rural and now urban. "I wouldn't live there if you paid me."

Yet another Talking Heads rerelease, this one being their second album. Every song's great, but a few lose the punch of the album along the way. The bonuses are great - you can see what Brian Eno brought to the band by checking out the two versions of Stay Hungry. Oh, right. This album has Take Me To the River. Guess you have to buy it now.
