You've set the bar pretty high if Burning Down the House is rather pedestrian. I can't think of another funk album that is stronger than this all the way through.

Completely agree, I almost couldn't believe Burning Down the House would be described that way. BdtH is an absolute 10/10 banger for me, it adds color to my day when I hear. That, Girlfriend is Better and This Must be the Place are my favorite three Talking Heads songs, though I love most of their work.

Even the filler is contributes to the spirit of the album, and is quite pleasant. The whole album has a sound and a feel that is quite distinctive stylistically.

This is the kind of stuff musicians dream of creating.

>You've set the bar pretty high if Burning Down the House is rather pedestrian. I can't think of another funk album that is stronger than this all the way through.

My bad. Yes, Burning Down The House is pretty darn good too.

It was buried between cover photos when I skimmed the file list of the folder on my hard drive containing the album.

That said (after looking again, more carefully this time), I stand by the rest of what I said.

What are you talking about? Who cares how long you listen to them?

Someone else mentioned burning down the house, and there's others that I find great additions to the themes of the album, like slippery people and moon rocks. Pull up the roots is quite nice.

That leaves like 1-2 tracks that I honestly just can't remember much about. That doesn't fit the description "some bright spots, and some crappy songs too"... you're talking about an iconic album jam packed with brilliance.

This would be like saying that pink floyds "the wall" has "a few bright spots but some crappy songs too", that the era from "meddle" to "animals" was hit or miss, and you really prefer division bell and a momentary lapse of reason... just not any of the early/middle stuff.

Yeah, you can have whatever opinion you want, but this one is just absurd. Pink Floyd isn't for everyone, but if you like them, you're being a pretentious ass acting like 1971-1979 weren't peak years.

P.S. I actually do think the wall is kinda shit, but that's a story for another day

>Yeah, you can have whatever opinion you want, but this one is just absurd.

As can you. But unlike you, I won't make personal attacks on you for yours.

That's not a personal attack, your argument is absurd, however I'm certain you are a person of the highest caliber.

>you're being a pretentious ass

Thanks. I didn't realize that was a compliment rather than nastiness on my part.

Have a nice day.
