Talking Heads - The Collection
Review by Vanessa Brune
The Collection, a compilation album by Talking Heads, showcases the band's unique sound and evolution over the years. Featuring popular hits such as "Psycho Killer" and "Burning Down the House," the album provides a comprehensive overview of Talking Heads' musical journey. The album also includes lesser-known tracks that display the band's experimental and avant-garde side.
The lead singer, David Byrne, is a vocal chameleon, able to switch effortlessly between different styles and moods. His lyrics are often quirky and intellectual, exploring themes such as urban anxiety, consumerism, and the human condition. The band's instrumentation is equally eclectic, incorporating elements of funk, world music, and punk rock.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Once in a Lifetime," a hypnotic and existential song that has become an anthem for the band. The song's music video, featuring Byrne's iconic dance moves, has also become a cultural touchstone.
