Air - Talking Heads - Fear of Music - 1979

I downloaded Fear of Music following reading a book of essays by Jonathan Letham. In one of the essays he described his love for this album. It's a TH album, produced by Eno, with a significant contribution by Robert Fripp...sounds like a sure thing, right. Actually it leaves me a bit cold. There are definitely some interesting Eno-esque textures, and great moments...but at the end of the day, I find the songwriting lackluster.

This song ain't bad, nothing on the album is bad...it just doesn't thrill me.
