	Cokemachineglow.com : Talking Heads: Talking Heads Brick (Pt. 1)
		Pop songs that were fundamentally physical and exuberant were crowded with steel drums, wind organs and keyboards, while Byrne’s voice, rarely attaining the out-there confidence he’d come to be recognized for, displayed a degree of measured restraint that gave away his freshman frontman status.
		Fear of Music is one of the more intriguing prospects for remastering because of both the colder mood of synths and electronics and the increased emphasis on bongos and shakers.
		The song is often overlooked in reaction to Byrne’s paranoid hysterics in “Cities,” faraway “Heaven” and classic (though more fun on Stop Making Sense) “Born During Wartime,” but here “Paper” is the unexpected cornerstone of the record, both as an example of how naturally the album lends itself to polishing and as a songwriting peak.

	Brian Eno is MORE DARK THAN SHARK
		More Songs About Buildings And Food (1978), the group's first record produced by Brian Eno, is another album that sneaks up on you.
		More Songs About Buildings And Food also included Byrne's first sardonic mock-country song, The Big Country - the aural version of Saul Steinberg's famous cartoon.
		Eno said that what appealed initially to him about the group was "the powerful structural discipline".

	"More Songs About Buildings and Food" - Salon
		Talking Heads released their second album, "More Songs About Buildings and Food," a backwards exorcism of frozen-brittle guitars, smeared textures and super-ecstatic vocals.
		Neither did songs which were much more ferocious live (as any bootleg from that period, or the unjustly out-of-print live album, "The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads," will reveal) than on their somewhat diluted first studio album, "Talking Heads '77." Byrne made anxiety sound like a street drug.
		The song keeps picking up, rising, climbing, soaring like a brand new boyfriend-girlfriend crush: "My favorite color is red, too!" And yet we also hear the first hint of something more sinister.

	More Songs About Buildings and Food - Talking Heads - Song Listings
		The title of Talking Heads' second album, More Songs About Buildings and Food, slyly addressed the sophomore record syndrome, in which songs not used on a first LP are mixed with hastily written new material.
		If the band's sound seems more conventional, the reason simply may be that one had encountered the odd song structures, staccato rhythms, strained vocals, and impressionistic lyrics once before.
		Where Talking Heads had largely been about David Byrne's voice and words, Eno moved the emphasis to the bass-and-drums team of Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz; all the songs were danceable, and there were only short breaks between them.

		'More Songs About Buildings And Food' - the title satirised the group's offbeat subject matter on their debut album - made one commercial concession, including a cover version of Al Green's 'Take Me To The River'.
		In Europe, the single was less successfull, despite being issued originally as a double-pack release (with 'Love Goes To Building On Fire'/'Psycho Killer'), packaged in a gatefold sleeve that included a Peter Frame family tree tracing the group's history.
		David Byrne's songs were equally uncompromising, however, and althrough Brian Eno's production gave the group a richer feel than before, they were still far removed from the kind of music that most 'new wave'-artists were unveiling.

		More Songs About Buildings And Food is hypnotic, vivid and challenging.
		The title of this delicious album self-parodizes their subject matter, one of the examples of the satirical element of "More Songs About Buildings And Food." This is captured on 'The Big Country,' a satire on consumerist America, with a humorous mock-country Western sound.
		But if 77 was one of the best creations of the punk genre, then with their second album, More Songs About Buildings And Food, David Byrne and co. achieved a sound of their own that transcended time and genre, and assured their place in the pantheon of rock n' roll.

	Spicing Up Downtown \| Metropolis Magazine
		Titled More Songs About Buildings and Food: Recipes for Downtown, the book is the brainchild of LMCC Associate Curator Adam Kleinman.
		Building upon precedents of other recipe books from Buckminster Fuller (Synergetic Stew: Explorations in Dymaxion Dining) and Cedric Price (Re: CP) that introduce cooking as a metaphor for architecture, Kleinman sought to generate ideas from the public about downtown.
		What’s more, the recipes for the area are generated by the users of that area.

	Talking Heads: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews
		Curiously, while '77 and More Songs About Buildings and Food are consecutive albums, and are hardly poles apart from each other stylistically, most listeners exhibit a strong preference for one or the other.
		The title More Songs About Buildings and Food refers to David Byrne's avoidance of writing love songs, so that there are no insipid lyrics like 'Who Is It?' from Talking Heads '77.
		Byrne hasn't completely lost his melodic touch, and 'Wild Wild Life' is a nice infectious single that sits more or less in the same league as 'And She Was' or 'Road To Nowhere'.

	A Talking Heads Fan Site... This Must Be The Place - More Songs About Buildings And Food
		More Songs About Buildings And Food In the creation of this record Brian Eno played a decisive role.
		Lyrics are as innovative as in the first album, and so we find songs where the protagonist states openly that he's not in love, and believes that some day nobody will need to be in love.
		The lyrics of the songs may seem strange, and I guess this is what they wanted.

		On More Songs about Buildings and Food, David Byrne sings the word feelingssssss with a puppy's yelp that turns into a snaky hiss.
		He sings about this improvement with considerable sarcasm, though, and elsewhere on the LP, love and logic are at loggerheads.
		The eclecticism of More Songs about Buildings and Food–its witty distillations of disco and reggae rhythms, its reconciliation of "art" and punk rock–is masterful, The music represents a triumph over diversity, while the words spell out defeat by disparities between mind and body, head and heart.

	Talking Heads - Fear of Music/Brick DUALDISC (Album Review)
		In hindsight, the Talking Heads’ Fear of Music can be viewed as a transitional affair that bridged the gap dividing the distinctive, new wave-meets-RandB jitters of Talking Heads: 77 and More Songs about Buildings and Food from the funk-laced fury of Remain in Light and Speaking in Tongues.
		The songs themselves were given innocuously simplistic titles befitting an inmate at a psychiatric ward.
		At first, the effect masked, and then it enhanced, the terrifying substance of Byrne’s apprehensive ruminations, which expressed his beliefs that animals were laughing at him, his electric guitar wasn’t to be trusted, and the air itself was causing him harm.

	Talking Heads: More Songs About Buildings and Food ---Ink Blot Magazine
		I cannot be objective about this record, because it was incredibly important in my musical development.
		But Byrne steps out on a couple of these songs in a way that no one else at the time was doing, and very few have tried since.
		We're not just talking about the slow-burning soul of "Take Me to the River," either; a lot of these songs use James Brown chicken-scratch guitars from Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth's big fat bass sounds, and every single piece further proves the absolute brilliance of Chris Frantz' drumming.

	Talking Heads: Talking Heads: 77 / More Songs About Buildings and Food / Fear of Music / Remain in Light [DualDisc ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The utilitarian song titles -- "Mind", "Paper", "Cities", "Air", "Heaven", "Drugs" -- are low-profile attempts to draw attention away from the Big Brother ruminations within: here are secrets about your government, about your life, about futility and existence, but shhhh you didn't hear it from me...
		1978's More Songs About Buildings and Food (its title a self-referential jab at 77 and the sophomore album "syndrome") sounds like the work of a band that suddenly got it: the quirks and the tugs are more calculated, the twitching ends come together and fuse into one gyrating whole.
		Recorded in the Bahamas, More Songs About Building and Food was Talking Heads' first collaboration (of many) with producer Brian Eno, who helped rein in their panicky sound.

		It's hard to figure out who they were influenced by while listening to more of their advanced recordings.
		There is nothing in the recording that fits any of those descriptive words, possibly this is referring to a fragmented process with their song writing.
		It is more about people and every day situations.

		The Heads' second album found them building on the twitchy "new wave" sound they established with their debut while using that approach as a springboard for new lyrical and musical innovations.
		More songs about buildings and food.....and artists, abstract analysis, office jobs, bodybuilders, restaurants, Al Green - in fact America.
		More songs about America and how weird normal can be.

	More Songs About Buildings and Food - Talking Heads - Similar Albums
		It may not have been the most natural match in music history, but the marriage of Sparks' focus on oddball pop songs to the driving disco-trance of Giorgio Moroder produced the duo's best album in years.
		While their subsequent chart-topping albums would contain far more ambitious songwriting and musicianship, the Police's 1978 debut, Outlandos d'Amour (translation: Outlaws of Love) is by far their most direct and straightforward release.
		If Stiff Records wanted to market Rachel Sweet as an ironic sex symbol, they succeeded only at the irony of forbidden fruit; the picture of her on the back of this disc in a rugby shirt and jeans, head cocked, hands on hips, could grace the cover of Lolita's next edition.

		“More Songs About Buildings and Food” marks the inception of punk rock’s now-diluted message into the mass consciousness and raised the bar for other artists under the watchful eyes of culture at large.

	Terebi II: More Songs About Buildings and Food
		Renee thought up a menu this weekend, and we picked up the ingredients for it so she could cook and serve her own personal dinner tonight.
		Fortuitously enough, one of the staples was ground pork, so we just got more when getting my maxed-out meatloaf fixings.
		Her original plan was to use the tomato innards as part of the stuffing, but once she saw the seeds embedded in the gelatinous guts, she discarded that plan.

		PQR: More Songs About Buildings and Food is vastly superior.
		Buildings and Food is better 'cuz it has tighter songs, more-focused playing, and that Brian Eno production that 77 didn't have.
		So the entire Buildings and Food album is, for me, an extension of the feeling he captures on those two tracks.

		Detachment and confusion were common themes; many of their best-known songs, from "Once In A Lifetime" to "Heaven" and "Life During Wartime" were about detachment, wonder, the stultifying effect of happiness, and the bracing emotional wallop of misery.
		Although all the songs on Buildings and Food were written by David Byrne, producer Brian Eno (in his first of many collaborations with the group) moved Chris Franz's drums and Tina Weymouth's bass to the front of the mix.
		Their songs are perhaps on the radio more now than when they were together.

	Lower Manhattan Cultural Council - Recipe for Downtown
		In the suggestion of “more”, the band was playing off the typical second album syndrome where hastily thought out rehashes get set to vinyl in hopes of cashing in on the band’s current hype.
		Yet “more” here meant not just “yet another” since with this album came new co-producer Brian Eno, who enhanced the musical flavor especially in terms of the rhythm section, the sequencing, the pacing, and the mixing.
		With the general devaluation of both, the fast food industry does to the built environment what it has done to the American diet — that is, made it bland and uniform.

		While it is louder than previous masters (about 3dB louder than Sand in the Vaseline and 7db louder than the original MSABAF CD), the big differences are in two areas: the bass and the details.
		It is amazing when you hear a song voice ideas that have gone on in your head but you never thought anyone else would take the time to voice.
		There lies the genius of Byrne's lyric writing, he does not necssarily look for the big ideas to inspire a song but looks at the mundane or seemingly insignificant and manages to pull it off, never sounding forced or falsly whacky in that "We're all mad in here!" way that some do.
