This album is really nice. It's not as wildly intense as their previous collaboration, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, but it is nonetheless fantastic. I guess you could say that this release is on the verge of adult contemporary pop, but it is far too subtle and strange for that kind of lame-ass pigeonhole. Byrne and Eno explore everything from pop to americana, from folk to gospel, from electronic avant-garde wierdness on this release and it all goes together so well. It is very honest and subtle music. It is assured in its own worth that it simply presents great ideas for what they are, and it’s up to you as the listener to get wrapped up in its beauty. Brian Eno’s mastery of recording has never come through better than on this release. The album just sounds so fantastic and vivid, your ears will most surely thank you for putting such cool sounds into them. David Byrne is the fucking man, and Brian Eno is the fucking man, and their brilliance complements each other so perfectly. And it all comes together just for you. Definitely an album worth checking out. listen
