Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "EVERYTHING sounds more like a Heads record than anything Byrne's done since the band split in 1991. A radiantly tuneful set made with sidemen...the album often evokes sublime, slow-to-midtempo Heads songs like 'Heaven'...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "A thoughtful singer-songwriter exercise....The elegiac opening ballad 'Home' comes on like a U2-size, album-closing climax...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Eno's music is warm and inviting, full of wide spaces and quiet corners....The first Byrne album in decades to feel sprung from outside the ex-Head's head space.", "No matter what genre he touches on, Eno spices up his sounds with selections from his usual bag of tricks: digital drum loops, layered ambient sounds and off-kilter rhythmic surges.", Ranked #42 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "It's the strongest set either of these visionaries has released in ages...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A superb loving embrace between two great artists....This 10-track album is musically pliant and wide-ranging.", "With 'Pooor Boy', which displays a flash of livewire, neurological energy which the world could do with more of right now, and which they're still capable of providing.", "This reunion is filled with straightforward folktronica anthems. Best of all is the bewitching 'Strange Overtones,' which features bubbly guitar and a disco momentum."
