?? I'm not sure that I can unpack that, unless you've got your words in the wrong order. However, even if this album is the dog's bollox to Heads heads, the ratings say that this isn't a well-liked track - 18 sucko-barfos out of 111 ratings, around 16%, and that on a station where TH are worshipped by most listeners (though not this one).

Nah, I guess I'll stick to listening to great music and keep my nuts for a big occasion

Agreed. A Masterpiece it is.

A seminal album in the progression of music, IMO.

Love the simple song titles, like Mind, Paper, Cities, Heaven.
Drugs, one of the best musical interpretations of what it's like to be too high.

Sorry to the folks who don't here the music hear.

Fortunately the mute button is within reach so I don't have to listen to this crap. However, I'd be glad to try it on you for practice, pal.

I suggest you go make that happen, then. Let me know if I can be of assistance, pal.

Damn, Bill! Run still going! See my comments back on Neko C (Knock Loud) and Hooverphonic (We All Float). Now High Violets and TH - Paper. I continue to be astonished. And tuned in.

This ain't rockin' to me, just trips my gag reflex. Getting my nuts ripped off with a blunt gardening tool would be a more enjoyable experience than listening to this :)

Hmmm.  Generally a fan of TH.  Not at all one of this song. . . .

To early on a Sunday for this crap

Ooh-ooh - yessss - More from this album, please!

I've never heard this tune before. that scratchy guitar is very reminiscent of some things on "my Life In the Bush Of Ghosts"
Very cool stuff.

Unique art is always controversial. Go Bill!

whoooot!!!!

"...expose yourself...out there for a minute..."
I don't usually make it to lyrics much in songs but DB writes awesome poetry (IMHO) 

What's this? More Talking Heads? Big surprise.

Yep, I'm with you. People don't want to be challenged. Remember, Van Gogh never sold a painting!

Good analysis. How appropriate, then, that this album is titled Fear of Music, although it was published 3 decades ago!

I think there is a crabbiness among the general populace because of the recession. In these hard times there are many who lash out at creative individuals because of their own failings, or their own fear that things in general are falling apart and those who have achieved artistic success (like Talking Heads) or financial success or both ( like Radiohead) are somehow to blame.
