Honestly way better than Talking Heads 77. I heard that they grow more into their sound in this album and I can definitely see that. I think abstractness of this album is just way more enjoyable to listen to and each track has its own unique qualities that make them worth coming back to. I also like the theme of the album where it talks about becoming someone you never wanted or meant to be just because people get obsessed with following the grain and becoming what society tells us you should become.
