in my case those four songs would be autobiographical

it's a creative writing exercise more songwriters should follow.

Killer Mike called a song "Reagan." 2 Chainz should write one called "Grover."

5 album run, with "The Name of this band..." being their peak imo

i don't really think that should really count as part of their run. it'd be one thing if the songs were drastically different than their album counterparts, but they're pretty faithful. i agree that it's an awesome album (one of my favs as well).

they definitely have one of the best 2-album runs of live albums

not unless you discount Neil Young and his quasi live albums.

i like the song "heaven" a lot, how it contrasts with the twitchy nervousness of the rest of this album. i also like how the album it sounds simple, almost stripped down, compared to their later masterpiece "remain in light" which is the only other talking heads album i've spent a lot of time with. i should listen to these guys more, but byrne irritates me after a while even though i am a great admirer of his schtick, which i think was very original

heaven is a song where nothing ever happens obv

All those single-word song titles in one place - it's almost like the early '90s
