Talking Heads 77 Product Features Product Description
TALKING HEADS
Next to CBGBs peers like the Ramones and the Voidoids, Talking Heads barely sounded like a punk band. After the startlingly non-conformist "Love Building on Fire", '77 made for a surprisingly tuneful collection of songs: nervy vignettes of urban unease, arranged for a tight little new wave quartet. The most overtly disturbed song, "Psycho Killer", now sounds a touch heavy-handed; more unassuming tracks like "New Feeling", "Happy Day", and "Don't Worry About the Government"--preppie pop with brains--have aged better. The first of four consecutive masterpieces for Sire, '77 is the work of a truly great American band. --Barney Hoskyns
