I think my favorite thing about 77 is that you can hear the band's influences really clearly

the songs on 77 are not nearly as artsy as here tho , much more stripped-down from their more "weird" stuff. It's super catchy tho i agree and i like it more than More Songs About Buildings and Food and Fear of Music which are inconsistent.

@altertide primarily their post-punk/funk roots

are you telling me 77, released in 1977, was influenced by post-punk?

@adr i don't know, they seem very artsy to me, poppy and catchy but with lots of weird sounds, broken rhythms, surprising compositional techniques and styles blending.

I found this way more consistent and interesting than 77, while 77 is a good album, it's just not as fun to listen to as this

77 is like 5th best Talking heads in my opinion... maybe 6th



This is 2nd probably or 1st depending on whether I'm in a Fear of Music mood or not.

Remain in Light and Fear of Music are pretty much equal to me at this point.

I could see Fear of Music possibly being better than this tbh.



but 77 doesn't come close
