The Talking Heads have put out some great music in the 1980's up to the mid 90's but I think this album was when they reached a creative pinnacle in their melodic style. David Byrne has the kind of creative mind which produces lyrics and music in a unique way. Because their music was always considered obscure, even within their category, they tended to attract a sub mainstream audience. "Speaking in Tounges" was their first record to get noticed but even so, it was considered eclectic. Then "Stop Making Sense" (the movie) came out and mainstream was going to see it and buying Talking Heads recordings, followed by the soundtrack for "True Stories."
What I like about it is that it's uplifting, fun, and energetic. The music makes you want to get up and dance. The words are sometimes weird, funny, and strong statements about our society. I've also put in some great driving time in our old Saab, listening to this CD. When it ends, you find the last hour seemed to go by quickly and you're almost there!

Early Talking Heads, for me, well, they were pretty much practicing for the great group-to-be. Pretty much everything on this CD is up to the exceptionally high standard we now recognize as classic Talking Heads. There must be at least 20 TH cuts that are in my all time top 50; but in my top 3 cuts for great texture, funkiness, got to hear it again and again, Television Man stands almost alone, joined (for great texture, great funkiness, and so on) by the Neville's Yellow Moon, and Little Feat's Dixie Chicken. OK, different genres, but the music affects me the same way. Maybe include Bob Marley's Trenchtown Rock in the same top 3 (?), for the music, and for the words, "One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain" -- that's what I feel about Television Man.Free Music Review: One of the albums I have known since' I've been alive.

I absolutely love this album. This is the first album by them I remember hearing. My father is a huge TH fan, this album came out the year I turned two, my father bought it around then, played it with me around, and I was constantly begging to hear it in whatever way a not-quite-two-year-old baby boy can. I am now sixteen years old, and still like this album just as much now as I did then. This album has lots of great tunes on it, "And She Was" is great, "Stay Up Late" is hilarious, "Television Man" is catchy, you just can't go wrong. This is one of my favorite TH albums, and is one of the best albums of the mid-80s, up there somewhere with Queen's A Kind Of Magic. I highly reccomend Little Creature's to anyone, it's awesome.Free Music Review: "Casual" music lover?

I want to defend this album. In contrast to many of the other reviewers, I beleive that this album marked a positive turning point. I don't dance, so I don't like dance music. I'm not an artist, so I really don't appreciate "quirky" and avant garde. I guess some would call me a "casual music" lover. I love the melody, hooks, energy, and lyrics on this album. I loved Talking Heads' first two albums, but then they lost me until this release. Little Creatures marks a change in direction for Byrne that continued, while evolving, into his solo albums. This release, True Stories, and all of Byrne's solo releases are among my favorite albums in my collection. If you prefer John Lenon over Parliament, I believe you'll prefer this album over Remain In Light.Free Music Review: It might as well be a greatest hits album

My main music interest is heavy metal and I'm an 18 year old. I first got this album when I was 10 and fell in love with it. I still listen to it from beginning to end. "Road To Nowhere" is one of the best songs I've ever heard. From any band! The Talking Heads' unique style of music really shines through. Each track makes you appreciate music to the fullest. Get this!
