Date  Helpful Rating 1 out of 1 users found this helpful  More Songs About Buildings and FoodPosted: 3/5/2002A review of More Songs About Buildings And Food by Slaine108 An instant classic from the time it was released, the Talking Heads combined their talent with ex-Roxy synthisist Brian Eno to produce a landmark in sound engineering, which culminated in the later Heads and Eno/Byrne albums that still influence the recording industry today.<br><br>After the success of Talking Heads '77, and in much the same spirit and vein, the Heads refined their unique style, with tight and precise short pop songs. The anthemic "Thank You for Sending Me an Angel" sets the high-energy tone of the album, and is the first of their "galloping" style (another example of which is the later "Road to Nowhere")<br><br>Byrne's lyrics are insightful and new (for the time) and the album's title reflects that. Although the big hit on the album is the old gospel tune "Take Me to the River", other songs got FM airplay at the time. To this day "Warning Sign" and "Artists Only" can be instantly recognized by the FM audience of the late 70's.<br><br>One of the most interesting songs is "Found a Job", perhaps a lesson is to be learned for all of us there.<br><br>As usual, Byrne is not the only star to shine on this recording. Tina Waymouth and Chris Frantz pulse out a clock-like rythym on every song, and Jerry Harrison provides interesting keys and guitars.<br><br>All this is one reason that this album remains one of my favorite of all time.
