Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Came across it in NM state, so thought I'd take it home. The printing error doesn't bug me, but the sound is flat and lifeless... Not typical for Portuguese releases, they're usually really really good, so it was a shock to me.
Sound is dull and lifeless. Not much to like here.
once again, Talking Heads delivers a great album, though it may not be as profound or groundbreaking as "More Songs About Buildings And Food" (the one before this) or as brilliant as "Remain in Light" (the one that came after). Still, it's packed with some fantastic tracks. "I Zimbra" kicks off with a made-up language. "Life During Wartime" could easily fit on "Remain In Light" with its rapid beat and anxious vocals - "I've changed my hairstyle so many times now, I've got 3 passports, a few visas, don't know what I look like. No time for disco, no time for party, no CBGB's. I ain't got time for that now. We use computers, we use fake ID's ..." My top picks are definitely "Heaven" and "Memories Can't Wait". They really resonate with me and always bring back memories (that can't wait when listening to this LP). Best lyrics: "There Is A Band In Heaven, They Play My Favourite Song, Play It Once Again, Play It All Night Long..There Is A Party, Everyone Is There, Everyone Will Leave At Exactly The Same Time. It's Hard to Imagine That there Is So Much Fun. Heaven Is A Place Where Nothing, Nothing Ever Happens. When this Kiss Is Over, We'll Start Right Again And Everything Will Feel Exactly The Same." A lovely vision of paradise ...
Average quality record. It sounds dull and lifeless next to my European version.
This vinyl sounds fantastic. Life During Wartime is among The Talking Heads' best songs.
