Music reviews of Stop Making Sense
Music Review: Actually, this is quite good
Rating: 4 Stars
I have a soft spot for this album, since it was what turned me on to the group in the first place. This isn't as good as the film (which, as several have stated before, is as good as concert videos get), or the full-blown soundtrack, but so what? Very cool. For one, it's got my favorite Talking Heads version of Take Me to the River - excellent studio version, but if you ask me it sounds better here, if just for the decrescendo/unexpected crescendo ending part. Also great is the acoustic Psycho Killer and an excellent take on Byrne's solo tune What a Day That Was. These are the bset, but really, everything's good: Swamp is as bizarre as ever; Slippery People, Girlfriend is Better and Burning Down the House are still funky, and will always be; Once in a Lifetime is... Once in a Lifetime, though that's one of those tracks where you NEED to see the accompanying live video footage. Life During Wartime is a bit of a disappointment, but that's only because the tense, suspenseful studio version makes for something hard to create on stage. My only problem is the lack of a couple great performances. I understand the limits of vinyl technology, but they had sufficent room to throw in Heaven and probably Cross-Eyed and Painless as well. This is almost useless now that the full-blown take exists, but it still has its purposes: it makes for a great start for the band if you're looking for something on the cheap; and it's a lot of fun.
Description of Stop Making Sense
The soundtrack to the Jonathan Demme documentary, Stop Making Sense captures the Talking Heads live in 1984 on what would turn out to be their last major tour. This collection, and the film, is a true gift to the band's fans, a testament to their extraordinary talent, both in the studio and especially onstage. Frontman David Byrne infuses each song with a jolt of energy and drama that could only have come from a late-'70s New York art-school student. Now-classic tracks such as "Psycho Killer," "Girlfriend Is Better," "Once in a Lifetime," "Take Me to the River," and "Burning Down the House" have never sounded better. --Lorry FlemingGeneral CDs
