Rated 5/5
Review by jussumen Apr 29, 2003
another fine Talking Heads album , that isn't as deep and revolutionary as "More Songs about Buildings And Food" (the one before) or a masterpiece like "Remain in Light" (The one that followed this LP) , but it has a lot of good songs on it as well. "I Zimbra" starts using a phantasy language . "Life During Wartime" would fit good on Remain In Light with his fast paced rhythm and the paranoid vocals " I changed my hair style so many times now , i got 3 passports , a couple of 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 ..aso) . My personal faves are of course "Heaven" and "Memories Can't Wait" . they touch me deep deep inside and will 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 fine idea of a paradise ....
