Introduction to Talking Heads

Back to reviewing albums, but this time, I think I'll move on from ELP. I've reviewed all the albums from their classic period, and while I could go on to Emerson, Lake, and Powell or maybe their two-album reunion, not only are those albums not exactly great or good, but a bit of a waste. The classic ELP line-up and albums will always be my favorite, and I'd much rather review and take a look at those albums than anything that came afterwards.

Therefore, with that out of the way, I can move onto the Talking Heads, another one of my personal favorite bands. A lot different from ELP, they are led by David Byrne, who has a very unique vocal style that I don't really know of any other singers who are like him. Regardless, it was him who gave the band a lot of personality. It also helps that he could actually sing quite well.

Of course, we also have Chris Frantz on drums, Jerry Harrison on guitar/keyboards, and Tina Weymouth on bass. They sometimes get a little overlooked (likely overshadowed by Byrne being a bit of an enigma), but they all contribute towards the band's overall efforts anyway.

The interesting thing I will do when reviewing their albums is start backwards (skipping True Stories, as that was more of a soundtrack and the only album by them I don't own). Therefore, the first review will be of Naked, then Little Creatures, then Stop Making Sense (Live Album), and so on. Enjoy.

Introduction to ELP

Well, as you can tell by the title of both this site and heading of this paragraph, this is another music reviewing site. I already have a reviewing page (located here), but I decided to start my own site. Now, first things first:
1. Reviewing system: All reviews are on a scale of 0 (being the worst) and 15 (being the best).

2. Sub-headings/minor-headings: Every review shall contain some headings explaining the rating, providing a random caption, and the best song and worst song.

3. Discographies: On this site, I review all the albums by a certain band. I am starting with Emerson Lake and Palmer (ELP).

So, that's all the important information about this site. Reviews will probably be every few weeks or so (unless I forget).
