I'm glad this won and I liked the review. What an incredible rhythm section they had. Fear Of Music was my favorite Talking Heads album for decades, but I now listen to them more than I ever have and my opinion has changed. I find that I love Talking Heads 77 and More Songs About Buildings And Food the most. I would enjoy reviews of all their stuff. For me, the most rewarding Talking Heads experience is a live album, and not the one that gets most of the attention. The Name Of This Band is just incredible. The choice of songs is almost perfect for my taste. I know you are starting a record collection so I need to mention how The Name Of This Band sounds on vinyl; the band seems to be playing right in your room. I don't know how they did it, but it gets my vote for the best-sounding live album ever made (Television's Live At The Old Waldorf is the only challenger). Although the music is different, I often think Tom Verlaine's vocals sound a lot like David Byrne. Life During Wartime is easily my favorite from Fear Of Music, and Cities is great too. It will be interesting to see if your favorites change when you do the follow up.
My favourite Talking Heads album. Fun tunes, fun lyrics. Someone once wrote that you could put "Fear of" in front of almost every song title on this album. It's hard not to treat all the bleakness as satirical when the tunes are so groovy, and Life during wartime is the perfect illustration of this imo. Edit: Also, the line about how animals should "be more careful" always cracks me up for some reason.
"Heaven" is my favorite Talking Heads song. But I only listen to the live version from the expanded edition of The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads . Perfection.
By the way, I'm seeing now you are reacting to Modest Mouse before Pixies and I think the other way around would make more sense since Modest Mouse are very Pixies inspired but with stretched song lenghts.
I remember when you were listening to Bowie's Lodger, Talking Heads came up (possibly this album). This is my favorite album of theirs, followed closely by Remain In Light. Anyway, I liked the review, Alex
I recently watched your channel and I really like this type of video, congratulations! I would love to see a react to the album Clube da Esquina (1972), one of the Brazilian masterpieces. I believe it would be an incredible video!
Fear of Music is just the best album in the history of rock music, all the other great albums be it Zappa, Fripp, etc., you need to be mentally predisposed to listen to them.What everyone usually does, chooses a piece of music for their psychological moment, Fear of Music is the only one that serves for all moments, you can listen to it a hundred times that it doesn't get tired, and that always takes us to its psychological world.
You've done them the wrong way round. You should have done the first 4 albums in order, so you could see the progression in song writing and musicality.
I’ve actually listened to all their albums! Bridge over Troubled Water is among my all time favorites. I’d like to react to Paul Simon’s 1972 solo album though.
@@AlexHaitz Ahh dang it. Yes, what a beautiful album, one of my favourite albums too! They are also one of my favourite artists! I have only heard Duncan from Paul’s 1972 album and I like that song quite a lot. You should definitely react to that, anything related to Paul Simon and I’m here for it haha. Btw I discovered your channel only a couple days ago and I’m loving it, especially the album reactions, keep em coming!
Remain in Light is a good album, but it’s very much overhyped and isn’t as futuristic as people say it is. Fear of Music is the Talking Heads’ best album from start to finish.
damit this one won.. lol. outta all the albums in the poll this is easy the weakest. sad twig! hehe its still decent but man does it feel hella stale and 1/3 of the tracks' grooves are just bad to say the least. I wish it was a dense and RiL caus it feels empty in a way. Anyway im still happy you liked it. its decent. WE WILL GET YOU NEXT TIME WITH THE LONG ALBUMS just you wait
@@LukasPrimeEdition the music just feels lifeless and bores me so much.... and I hate the production actully. Just doesn’t feel weighty enough and very empty/spacey which doesn’t work
@@dx12red well i mean the mechanical vocal delivery, the jerky drums and bass, the really robotic and annoying guitar rhythms.. just creates a really boring album. It features some of enos worst work to date with him creating just a stale sounding record. The albums just a slog to get through because oh how tired and just "bleh" it makes me feel when i listen to it.
More TALKING HEADS Reactions:
Remain in Light: th-cam.com/video/eTJM48RRYpY/w-d-xo.html
The Overload sounds NOTHING like I Remember Nothing. 😒
@@curly_wynyes it does
the live footage of Life During Wartime (Stop Making Sense) is what completes the song imo
Yes lol, the way he runs around the stage 3 times or something like that
Best Talking Heads album by far. Memories Can't Wait is beautiful and Heaven is maybe their best song.

Animals both rocks and makes me laugh.
One of my favorite albums of all time
This is a reminder of how great a bassist Tina Weymouth is.
Memories can’t wait is definitely a much better track than life during wartime
"Heaven" is my favorite Talking Heads song. But I only listen to the live version from the expanded edition of The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads
. Perfection.
I like this one more than Remain In Light, it's more consistent. For good and for bad the songs kinda melt together.

@@R0CKDRIG0 We definitely need both, whatever the order 😊
Absolutely!
The band RadioHead are named after a TalkingHeads song(called Radiohead).
Water is wet.
@@curly_wyn lol . thank you ,that was a dumb comment from me . x
Great album. First five LPs are all worthy albums and very distinctive.

Truly great album

You should watch Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense.
God, I hope you do Double Nickels on the Dime some day. I love Minutemen, but I can't imagine what you'd make of it.
It's been on my radar for a while, eager to get to it.
@@AlexHaitz it's going to be a wild one 🤣

Roxy Music, Avalon?
trash
And play the whole tract of the song.
Hey, please react to one of Simon & Garfunkel's albums, would love to see that!

Fear of music sounds like Joy Division on Zoloft.
You say that because you are on Zoloft.

no
Cut the wordy intro.
