True Stories is probably (IMO) the least interesting of Talking Heads’ main sequence albums. /snob
.
But The Name of This Band is Talking Heads is a great, underrated live album, and also serves as a fine compilation album for their early work. The opening track, New Feeling is one of my favorites. David Byrne announcing matter-of-factly at the opening “The name of this song is New Feeling, that’s what it’s about” does a wonderful job of setting the quirky tone of their earlier work.
