I will be able to buy him a drink and thank him for the endless pleasure he and his band have given me over the years. 

Hurrah! 

 
Please buy him one from me, too.  We all owe him a debt of thanks for the wonderful music he has given us.

Always liked this group. Maybe it's time to invest in a tune or two.

I know this is supposed to be a seminal album; lots of people/bands cite it but to me it's still just a mess. Oh well. Don't care for the sound of the vocals either. 5

One of my favourite albums. About time we heard some of the other tracks though. How about the final one? It's a cracker.

My friend Moe died shortly after this came out. I am always reminded of his loving kindness when I hear this song.

LOVE Talk Talk — always have.  The singer's voice gives me chills because it's so evocative.  "Life's What You Make It' is one of my all time fave 80s ballads.

Funny, but perhaps that is not what a lot of young (perhaps your age) felt when the covers of a lot of 80s songs, namely Talk Talk's 'It's My Life', came out in the air again. Now, don't get me wrong, what I am just trying to say is that the sound of the 80s (pure, recycled or otherwise) CAN be enjoyed almost twenty years later, and NOT trying to imply that, just because it got aired again is good. I am done with the old "all the 80s music is trahs" cable TV discourse. That you do not get it, fine, it might be a matter of taste, which is understandable, but certainly these guys, among a few others, were putting some good tunes those days.

Great band, stunning album. Still listen to it now and again and I still marvel at the production perfection - still sounds better on vinyl though!

Was about to make a cheap typo gag about band member Tim Freise-Greene and then I looked on the sleeve notes and found that you are right! This is the only track on the whole album he does not play on - so it is Timless....

(PS that's Steve Winwood on hammond too...)

This song is good because it doesn't have synth. That's why Talk Talk stood out when they did. Synth is junk, as unfortunately were the 80's, mostly. But what do you expect for a decade that voted a third-rate actor in as a fifth-rate President and saw hippies mutate into yuppies...

You're way too young perhaps....
Talk Talk was breathtaking in the early 80s.

I've always loved the special sound!

Their first album (the one with "It's My Life") was a bit more "trendish" soundwise but was still very unique.


That would be their second album "It's my Life"
The first album was "The Party's Over"

Huh? Check out the early Roxy albums (pre-Siren) that make this track sound like it came from an easy listening sampler...

Maybe listen more closely next time? This track does have prominent synths. TT used synths quite extensively up to Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock.
