Oh no, this is still a great album. It still sounds like nothing else. It still reminds me that music can be smart and silly at the same time. From the fat bass to the syncopated heys, and that jangly guitar and piano outro!
Agree with @AndyWilkinson The pressure to sustain the impossibly high standard of their earlier albums resulted in a few luke warm remarks in the music press but I think it's marvellous & I trust my own judgement!
Great notes - been a fan since day one and saw them go through their changes, but Talking Heads are such an important band - my dad once said to me (after first 2 albums) I'm really into this band - have you heard of them? Talking Heads - LOL Love my Dad:)
FYI - I couldn't listen as it was blocked but I know this song so thought I'd comment:)
Doesn't' that blocked thing drive you nuts - some folks are blocked some aren't - think it depends on where you live....I have a motto since Napster first came out: I've bought that song on 45, lp, 8 track, cassette, cd, seen them live, pay a % on any cocktail I buy in America to pay ASCAP...Peer to peer is like loaning a book to a friend:) Just my 2 cents - if we hear a song we like, we will go and buy :)

Might not have reached the giddy heights of their first 4 albums, but it's still a great album.
