Mar 8, 2015Love This Giant is a masterpiece. Album of The Year 2012 in my opinion along with Born This Way by Lady Gaga. Byrne & Clark have some of the best lyrics ever released. It's so weird and so beautiful at the same time.

Oct 5, 2012This one requires your attention. You need to really listen. All this brass and funky beats, strange melodies and enchanting voices. "Who" and "I am an Ape" are my personal favorites and will definitely get you hooked.

Apr 27, 2014I think the St. Vincent material is strongest here...love Byrne too, but love St. Vincent all that much more. Terrific album & the live show was totally great as well.

Sep 13, 2012David Byrne and Annie Clark are two extremely distinctive artists. Byrne has grasped legendary status through his impressive career spanning back to Talking Heads debut

Oct 4, 2012Above all, this is an album of intensely dramatic arrangements, never allowing the listener to settle and continually rewarding anew.

UncutSep 28, 2012A collection that feels more art project than album. [Nov 2012, p.71]
