Our Take

Talk about a blast from the past! Talking Heads' "Speaking In Tongues" album is like a time machine back to the prime era of new wave and post-punk. David Byrne's quirky vocals and the band's unique blend of funk, pop, and electronic elements make for a truly unforgettable listening experience.

From the funky basslines of "Burning Down the House" to the infectious hooks of "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)", this album is a non-stop dance party that will have you grooving in your seat. Byrne's cryptic lyrics add a layer of intrigue to the already infectious tunes, leaving listeners pondering the meaning behind each song long after the music has stopped.

The standout track for me has to be "Once in a Lifetime", with its iconic chorus and Byrne's manic energy shining through in every note. It's a song that perfectly encapsulates the band's eccentric charm and musical prowess.

Overall, "Speaking In Tongues" is a timeless classic that still sounds fresh and exciting decades after its release. Whether you're a die-hard Talking Heads fan or a newcomer to their music, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking to inject some fun and energy into their music collection. Don't just take my word for it, give it a spin and get ready to be transported to a musical paradise unlike any other.
