Talking Heads' ancillary soundtrack to David Byrne's directorial debut, TRUE STORIES generated one of the band's biggest radio hits ("Wild Wild Life"). Also the lead-off track: "Love for Sale" boasts one of the band's best hooks, and it's easily their hardest-rocking tune since the Fear of Music days. "Radio Head" is a successful continuation of some of the regional-American motifs Byrne explored on Little Creatures (and of course bears the distinction of inspiring Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and company to name their band after it). Free from the movie's weird patina of irony, "Dream Operator" is one of the most affecting tunes Talking Heads ever recorded; the closing-credits theme "City of Dreams" is similarly touching. While these are the highlights, throughout the rest of the album the band's skill at arranging and maintaining a mood remains intact.
