[edit] Sentence

"The album's title refers to the theory of sophomore slump as applied to second albums—that they consist of unfinished or sub-par material from the first album's recording sessions or of failed attempts to recreate the hits from the first album. The title of the album refers to a critic's review of their first album, Talking Heads '77, which said all of their songs were about buildings and food."

This paragraph is pretty weird to read. A conclusion needs to be found as to which was the origin of the title. The first one seems a bit confusing to me, and the second one I don't really believe, because none of their songs are really about food on the first album. I don't have a user account, so I can't really help that much on this, but it's really bugging me now. 207.7.187.135 14:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

The AMG review says:

"slyly addressed the sophomore record syndrome, in which songs not used on a first LP are mixed with hastily written new material"

so that part is copyvio.

"The album's title refers to the theory of sophomore slump as applied to second albums—that they consist of unfinished or sub-par material from the first album's recording sessions or of failed attempts to recreate the hits from the first album. The title of the album refers to a critic's review of their first album, Talking Heads '77, which said all of their songs were about buildings and food."

or failed attempts to recreate the hits from the first album

no source.

"The album's title refers to the theory of sophomore slump as applied to second albums—that they consist of unfinished or sub-par material from the first album's recording sessions or of failed attempts to recreate the hits from the first album. The title of the album refers to a critic's review of their first album, Talking Heads '77, which said all of their songs were about buildings and food."

The original version on wikipedia is, 'Also the title of the album refers to a critics review of their first album, Talking Heads '77. He said that all of their songs were about buildings and food' with no reference to the name of the critic.

talking-heads.net has a better quote, which is actually sourced.

"When we were making this album I remembered this stupid discussion we had about titles for the last album," Tina smirked. "At that time I said, ‘What are we gonna call an album that's just about buildings and food?' And Chris said, ‘You call it more songs about buildings and food.' "

Let's go with that.Fantailfan 17:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
