Talking Heads - Talking Heads 77 Album

The Talking Heads 77 album is an exhilarating debut from a band that emerged from the punk/new wave club scene in the mid 70s with both guns blazing. It is an inspiring freshman effort that features the band at their most thoughtful, taking care of every detail to the fullest. The album also foreshadows the new directions that the band's music would take in the future, at the same time capturing the elegance of music that was unique at the time it was released. Tunes like "Psycho Killer" and "No Compassion" get airplay to this day, and although the 77 album did not do as great as expected at the time of release, it remains true that all great classics are discovered with time.
