With the release of their latest
album “Naked,” the Talking Heads
have made a splendid comeback.

While never having actually bro
ken up, rumors of strife in the band
and of Byrne’s domination during the
making of “Little Creatures” and
“True Stories” (they were essentially
a soundtrack and ouliakcs from
Byrne’s 1986 film of the latter
album’s name), as well as their in
creasingly pop sound, had some
Heads worried about the fate of their
band.
Reluming more to the direction
they explored on the 1980s “Remain
in Light” album, the first half of
“Naked” is filled with African and

Latin rhythms. Most of the album was
recorded in the “musical crossroads”
of Paris.
The second side is mostly different
types of music. Combined with
Byrne’s lyrics, they can even become
scary.
Some of the scares Byrne inflicts
are through his unflattering portray
als of human nature. In “The Demo
cratic Circus” he compares our whole
political process to a cheap carnival.
Highest praise to the album. The
chart success the Heads have already
gotten may help them stay successful
with this side of their music, as well as
help to follow up the success of Paul
Simon’s “Gracciand” album in intro
ducing African rhythms to U.S. main
stream music.
One complaint I have with the
album is Icav ing off the song “Bill” on
the vinyl version. Possibly because
tapes and CDs can hold a few more
minutesof music, the song will proba
bly be released on the B-side of a
single for fans who still want it. But
the deletion practice is often part of a
detestable attempt to discourage LP
