Not that they didn't crank out a generous dollop of highlights - I Zimbra, Life During Wartime, Heaven, And She Was et al - but stuff from the debut album now sounds irritatingly thin and scratchy, while material from their last couple of albums, True Stories and Naked, is the sound of a band reaching the end of its tether.

Once in a Lifetime shies away from the Talking Heads life force. It presents them as winking ironists, not the true black-music believers that they were.
