Released at the height of Talking Heads' creative powers, Speaking In Tongues showcases the band's playful blend of art-rock intellect and infectious pop grooves. Building on the rhythmic innovations of their previous work, the album delivers some of their most recognizable tunes, including the iconic "Burning Down The House," and highlights how David Byrne and company pushed boundaries in both sound and style.
