There has always been a cinematic quality to David Byrne's songs-couldn't you just picture "Life During Wartime" on the big screen? So it's perfectly natural that the `80s renaissance man should try his hand at filmmaking. Advance reports on True Stories the film are very strong, reflecting Byrne's genius and wit. The songs, which are performed by the actors themselves in the film (and will have their own soundtrack) are done here by Talking Heads: True Stories the album is a joyous affair (Byrne says "Thanks, this was fun"), tossing aside more of the Heads' angst, which had been receding gradually anyway. The most exciting moment is in "Puzzlin' Evidence," when the driving Heads beat adds an equally forceful gospel chorus. Our other favorites are "Love For Sale," "Hey Now" and "People Like Us." Talking Heads the band stands as one of the tightest, most consistently enjoyable pop groups working today, quietly expanding their frontiers and audience.

Featuring songs written for David Byrne's film of the same name, True Stories is even more pop-oriented than Little Creatures, full of simple, catchy melodies and guitar hooks. Unfortunately, Byrne thinks pop should not only be simple, but simplistic; too often, his genuinely engaging songs are weighed down by his trite lyrics and condescending attitude. Fortunately, with their exceptional musical versatility, the rest of the band keeps the album from being a complete failure.
