The three hundred and eighty-second album: #382 Talking Heads - Talking Heads 77
Talking Heads 77 is intriguing. I enjoyed listening, but not in a way that I would initially seek out - but at the same time, I wanted to hear more. There were enough surprises and different ways of approaching their sound in here that I felt curious about what else they're going to do. Psycho Killer cements this, being so much more high energy than the first half of tracks that it really feels like they're able to go anywhere next, and although it can feel mellow at times, it also shows how well the album manages to build that energy. It works, while still keeping the tracks distinct.
