I second the pull up the roots comment! Might be my favorite song on the whole album. This entire album is awesome though, and its really good on a long drive in the summertime.

This is the best Talking Heads album
I've listened to all the Talking Heads albums and this one along with Little Creatures are the best in my opinion. Moon Rocks and Slippery People are the funkiest. This band really got funky on those two tracks. It's sort of like disco-era rock. Funky baselines and even funkier lead guitar....

an intoxicatingly grooving, virtually flawless album
The Talking Heads' 1983 album "Speaking In Tongues" is a dazzling, groove-oriented collection. The music here is so impeccably crafted and paced that you're truly left in awe, that is if you're not busy simply dancing and/or singing along. The album is remarkably cohesive, yet intriguingly...

Superb MASTERPIECE
I picked this album up used at an old record store. Popped it in my cd player and WOW! This is by far the greatest Talking Heads Album Making Flippy Floppy is a really well composed song. What is neat about this album is it has a sort of reggae funk to it with all kinds of random lyrics. YOU WILL...

Who knew music could be paranoid and danceable at the same time?
Like many others, I believe the Stop Making Sense concert video is the ultimate Talking Heads moment. But in terms of studio albums, Speaking in Tongues is their best.1. Burning Down the House: 10/10. A classic, my favorite Talking Heads song. Ominous synth, fine lyrics, highly danceable, and...

After Remain In Light it was a letdown, the Heads first only OK album
Talking Heads fifth album explored similar material to their masterpiece, the brilliant Remain In Light, but is more influenced by American funk than African pop. This is the first album since 77 without Brian Eno producing and what he added on previous albums, that sense of sonic exploration and...

Revered by seemingly everyone but me....
An album that everyone but me seems to love, "Speaking in Tongues", the first Talking Heads album in three years when it came out, was also the first album since their debut not produced by Brian Eno, with the band taking over productions duties. The band proves remarkably diverse, clearly...
