66. Talking Heads: Memories Can't Wait

The weirdness is just starting to become a bit much, the tension building and building musically and, finally, even vocally, as Byrne just starts anxiously yelling. And then ... peace. They take it and slow it down and, in the last minute of the song, with the soaring alternating vocals, give you the payoff and make it all worth it.

Rating: 76.
