Golf's verdict: He's definitely got an ear for a catchy chorus. Most of these 3 chord wonders bounce along very nicely and come in under the 3 minute mark. What more could you ask for?

Maire's verdict: A distraction when running but nothing more than that.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! All (psycho) killer, no filler whatsoever. 11 deceptively simple, but expertly crafted, songs that set David Byrne and Talking Heads on the path to being one of the greatest new wave bands of the '70s/'80s. 

Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! I really enjoyed this. Took my mind off running so definitely a winner 😀

Golf's verdict: In no way rubbish. Quite the opposite, in fact.
