More Songs About Buildings and Food

It's way less obnoxious than the other album I heard from them. I don't like his voice and the manic way he sings a lot of them still, but a lot of the actual music I'm finding myself tapping my foot along to a fair bit. There's some good upbeat grooves in here that work for me, with nice guitar and drums in particular.

This is the first album on here that I actually made it all the way through without skipping (cheating I know), but who has time to listen to music that doesn't do it for you! This music does it for me. It started off admittedly a bit off with "Thank You For Sending Me An Angel" but after that I loved every song. The major themes I picked out were love, creativity, and not wanting to be human and man that resonates. I originally wondered how David's voice was received back in the day and I guess it was received well. Another unique voice in this series for sure but at least this has very unique and varied backing music to go with it. And as I said the themes give it an easy 5 out of 5 in my opinion.

I’m familiar with the Talking Heads but hadn’t heard this one before. It’s full of fun grooves, inventive riffs and provocative lyrics. Trails off a bit in the middle but picks up steam again towards the end. Will definitely come back to this one.

Dit combineert het slechtste van het eind van de jaren '70 (bijna punk-achtige zang) met het slechtste van het begin van de jaren '80 (halfbakken dance-melodietjes). Creatief? Ja. Maar uiteindelijk is het de zang die zorgt voor een ruime onvoldoende. 1,5 ster.

Honestly a fun time. Probably would give it a 4 on second listen

Cool cringe before cringe was cool. Love these weirdos.

Love christmas

Another album where nothing really stuck out to me. It also had a kind of shrillness to it that made it hard for me to listen to the entire album straight through. Individually though I did enjoy most the songs even if I didn't remember them after they were done.

Yeah yeah gimme some talking heads! Liked it a lot!

Enjoyed this a lot, one of my favourite Talking Heads albums. You can hear clear influences here on late bands. Particularly on Warning Sign, there's a part in that song that I swear I regognize from some Radiohead song, but can't remember which one. The Big Country is one of my favourite Talking Heads songs by far!

Kind of boring and doesn't do anything for me.

Apparently, "Talking Heads" is really not the best band for me. I liked this album, but not enough to remember tomorrow.

First David Byrne/Talking Heads project I've gotten on this generator, as well as my first time actually listening to a full album, and it does not disappoint. I never realized how funky this could get, and the fact that this is so ahead of its time comparatively is just awesome. What an excellent album, looking forward to more.

Fun album! Would listen again. Holds interest for sure!

Not the album I would’ve picked for the last of the three Talking Heads albums on this list - but that doesn’t make it any less great.

Byrne is on fire throughout the entirety of More Songs About Buildings And Food (A+ title by the way) and Frantz and Weymouth are equally amazing!

There’s not a bad song on this; but there’s a couple I would have loved for them to dive deeper into. The length is almost perfect - but for once I wouldn’t have minded this being a bit longer!

I really like listening to the Talking Heads. This album is one I need to listen to more. The Take Me to the River cover is great.

Really leaning into this staccato delivery. Artists Only grabbed me. This album is a great Talking Heads album, so I would revisit it. But a very reasonable person could just as easily pass on this. A fun listen, but not one to sell you on the Talking Heads imho.

Really enjoyed this,

It's alright, some good songs, but nothing stands out as a 'must listen'. 2.5

Listening to this album has brought me to an entire day of Talking Heads and it's a discovery I really enjoyed.

Now I've likely listened to most albums once or twice in my life before, but it has made for a great day with some incredible music.

First of all, this album itself, it's so incredibly infectious and fun. The basslines are jumpy, the lyrics are different, the music is clever.

And, what's more, it's a strong album. There's no song to skip, not even the Al Green cover.
