Far too under-rated...

I have no idea why this album gets dismissed as "rubbish" by many Talking Heads fans and David Byrne himself. It's not that bad. You've got the hits "Love For Sale" and "Wild Wild Life" which are good songs but there is so much better to be found on here. "Papa Legba" has some neat percussion. "People Like Us" is a good song but it's even better in the movie 'True Stories' (which i recommened you check out) where John Goodman sings it! "Dream Operator" has to be one of the most beautiful songs the Talking Heads have ever written and it's probably my favorite on the album. The only song I never really cared for is "Hey Now". One last thing I have to say is when a band like Radiohead names themselves after one of the songs off this album, it can't be all that bad.

True Stories Soundtrack

One of my all-time favorite albums. I bought the LP twice...I played it so much, I wore it out. The movie is great. A Texas version of Best in Show or Mighty Wind. But the music will definitely move you. You won't be able to sit still. You'll have to sing every word out loud--very loud! It drives you to it.

True Stories is the best album ever made!

David Byrne's inspiring artistic lyrics are full of raw emotion. His lyrics range from being upbeat and uplifting to melancholy and bittersweet. Wild, Wild Life; City of Dreams; People Like Us; Radio Head and Puzzlin' Evidence are very notable songs, but the greatest song ever written, composed and sang is on this cd, Dream Operator. Dream Operator is the most beautiful song, a combination of stunning instrumentals which flow like water and David Byrne's rich voice, which has perfect pitch and great range. Byrne's voice ranges from a sweet sounding soprano to a deep baritone. True Stories is the best compiliation of Talking Heads songs, even better than Sand in the Vaseline, which had a serious lack of Dream Operator.
This albums deserves six stars on a five star scale.
