"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.

pop TH is tasty

I can't imagine why other TH fans don't love this album as much as I do. From the cover by Rev. Howard Finster to the classic "Walk It Down," the "Little Creatures" album is everything it should be. Irony lives.

The begining of the END...pop goes the weasel

As a true fans of the Heads since their inception, I bought every album up until this...LITTLE CREATURES...sure, I bought it like the rest, but this is one I don't play much anymore - why? It's clear from Byrne and Co's taste of success with BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE and others on early MTV, they all-but abandoned the brilliant exploration of REMAIN IN LIGHT to crossover onto MTV/Pop/Adult Contemporary playlists - sure, these songs may be "cute" and even a bit "clever," but most now sound utterly too cloying for their own good - this is the sounds of the Heads losing their "funk" and gathering moss. After this, all the albums just...plain...SUCKED.
