    There is no greater capturer of the modern real-daily-workings-life humanity than the lyrisist, Mr. Byrne. Thhe juxtaposition of musicical style to these lyrics is essential to his reality caracturizations, two kinds of beauty that fit so well together.

    His Great Solo Album, folding his obsessions with Afro-Cuban rhythms, Brazilian art song, American soul-funk, and workaday surrealism into perhaps his sweetest melodies ever. [11 May 2001, p.80]

    This is an album about textures, grooves, and sounds, but it's not really about songs. Once one is done decoding its structure, Look Into the Eyeball is an elegant but empty building.

    What makes this disc cohere is the world view presented in Byrne's quirky lyrics, sometimes stark to the point of simplicity and often with the detached tone of an observer alternately shocked or amused.
