This is a worthwhile listen. David Byrne's work is always interesting, but this is very listenable also. Although there is a different singer on each track, the album flows as a continuous piece of work, the mixture of beats and real instrumentation works well. The deluxe package is worth it only if you want the extras, the six videos are well cut & are a bit of a nostalgia trip. My only complaint is that I feel I paid too little for this immense package that clearly took a lot of work to produce.
Now Mr Byrne needs to release a DVD of his last tour and I'll be happy. He's got the footage, some of it appeared on a recent BBC programme about Brian Eno.

I couldn't agree with A McKenzie more. David Byrne has rarely put a foot wrong since his early days at CBGB's and this is no different. He is up there in terms of creativity over a long time with the likes of Bowie.....but more interesting.
YES he should put out a DVD of the Everything that happens tour; I saw him twice, the second time as a guest of one of the band in Barcelona and that tour was the "must see" gig of 2008/09
If you only know DB from Talking Heads do yourself a favour - BUY THIS

I have followed David Byrne for years and am constantly amazed at his depth. This concept album is no exception. Knowing it was a concept album I was sure to read the insert before playing the CD. Had I not done this it would have been very fragmented and difficult to follow. The music is a theatrical piece of people I had only vaguely remembered as a child of the 1980s. The 2 CDs have not left my car CD changer since purchase. I can't see myself tiring of it anytime soon either. My daughters, 8 and 10, are just as thrilled with the music as I am. I have purchased for my 11 niece and sister too.

Mr Byrne makes a musical.
I must admit I approached this album with some trepidation. After all 22 songs about Imelda Marcos didn't sound much like fun. How wrong I was! Read more
