It’s a pretty cool and fun listen. It’s very eccentric and crazy and I can tell the live performances would be fun to watch. My favourite tracks were Uh Oh Love Comes to Town, No Compassion, Psycho Killer and Pulled Up. I heard that the Talking Heads get even better later on so I’m looking forward to those albums but this was a pretty good debut album I think.
