| "I can't recall when I last heard such a vital, imaginatively tuneful album....Not only is this a great album, it's also one of the definitive records of the decade."-(RS 251) |
| "The eclecticism of More Songs about Buildings and Food–its witty distillations of disco and reggae rhythms, its reconciliation of 'art' and punk rock–is masterful...This, presumably, is why Talking Heads make music–and superb music at that." -(RS 276) |
| "Sometimes he slides into sync with the other members of the band, sometimes he dithers above them in lunatic abandon. Though his cohorts play like an efficient machine, David Byrne maintains the beauty of human error." -(RS 304) |
| "At no time does the music change to accommodate the completion of a conventional pop-song sentiment or clever line...the gambler's aesthetic operating within Remain in Light yields scary, funny music to which you can dance and think, think and dance, dance and think, ad infinitum." -(RS 332) |
| "Speaking in Tongues is an art-rock album that doesn't flaunt its cleverness; it's obvious enough in the alluring hooks, deviant rhythms and captivating mix of rehable funk gimmicks and intellectual daring." -(RS 397) |
| "After all, this is the same misanthrope who just a few years ago wondered, 'Do people really fall in love?' But within the context of Byrne's twitchy persona, Little Creatures is downright blissful." -(RS 454) |
| "As incongruous as the breezy fiddle and gentle pedal steel sound at first behind the nasal, urbane Byrne, this unlikely combination makes a greater impact with each listening." -(RS 485) |
| "What [Byrne] sees is a world in chaos, endangered by political madness, torn between animal instincts and the urge to civilize, teetering on the edge of apocalypse. As the album progresses, its mood shifts from cheerful to foreboding. Stylistically bold and intellectually provocative, Naked is a dizzying and disturbing piece of work."-(RS 523) |
