More Songs About Buildings and Food is Talking Heads' second album, the first of a string of three produced with Brian Eno. The album was significantly more popular than their first, Talking Heads: 77. The band's blend of funky bass, bubblegum, country, reggae and punk influences, with David Byrne's unique voice, established the group as a critical success known for their live shows, but still with disappointing album sales.

  • More Songs About Buildings and Food is Talking Heads' second album, the first of a string of three produced with Brian Eno. The album was significantly more popular than their first, Talking Heads: 77. The band's blend of funky bass, bubblegum, country, reggae and punk influences, with David Byrne's unique voice, established the group as a critical success known for their live shows, but still with disappointing album sales. Concerning the album's title: More Songs about Buildings and Food peaked at #29 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart, while the Al Green cover "Take Me to the River" peaked at #26 on the Pop Singles chart in 1979. The front cover of the album which was conceived and executed by David Byrne is a photomosaic of the band made of 529 close-up Polaroid photographs. In 2003, the album was ranked number 382 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2006, it was ranked the 45th-best album of the 1970s by Pitchfork Media. In 2005, it was re-released and remastered by Warner Music Group on their Warner Bros. /Sire Records/Rhino Records labels in DualDisc format, with four bonus tracks on the CD side ("Stay Hungry", alternate versions of "I'm Not in Love" and "The Big Country", and the 'Country angel' version of "Thank You for Sending Me an Angel"). The DVD-Audio side includes both stereo and 5.1 surround high resolution (96 kHz/24bit) mixes, as well as a Dolby Digital version and videos of the band performing "Found a Job" and "Warning Sign. " In Europe, it was released as a CD+DVDA two disc set rather than a single DualDisc. The reissue was produced by Andy Zax with Talking Heads
  • More Songs About Buildings and Food è il secondo disco dei Talking Heads, pubblicato nel 1978 e prodotto da Brian Eno. L'album ebbe molta più popolarità rispetto al loro album di debutto, Talking Heads: 77. In questo disco il gruppo mescola influenze funky, bubblegum, country, reggae e punk. L'unica voce è quella di David Byrne. Successivamente all'uscita del disco il gruppo ebbe un grande successo nelle esibizioni live, anche se le vendite del disco furono abbastanza deludenti. Il disco è collocato alla ventinovesima posizione della classifica Billboard's Pop Albums e la traccia Take Me to the River, cover della canzone di Al Green si trova alla posizione 26 della classifica Pop Singles del 1979. La copertina del disco, realizzata dallo stesso David Byrne, è un mosaico fotografico raffigurante i componenti del gruppo e realizzato con 529 fotografie Polaroid. Nel 2003 More Songs About Buildings and Food è stato inserito alla posizione 382 dei migliori 500 dischi di tutti i tempi secondo la rivista Rolling Stone ed è considerato il quarantacinquesimo migliore album degli anni settanta secondo la Pitchfork Media. Nel 2005 è stata rilasciata, dalla Warner Music Group, una riedizione rimasterizzata in formato DualDisc contenente quattro bonus track nel lato CD-Audio. Il lato DVD-Audio contiene, invece, un video dell'esecuzione di Found a Job and Warning Sign. Tale ristampa è stata prodotta da Andy Zax e dai Talking Heads.

  • More Songs About Buildings and Food är Talking Heads andra album, släppt i juli 1978. Albumet spelades in våren samma år. Det här albumet var populärare än deras debutalbum Talking Heads: 77, men gjorde dem ändå inte till stjärnor. Mest uppmärksammad blev covern på Al Greens "Take Me to the River" som blev en medelstor hit 1979. Albumtiteln skojar med det fenomen som uppstår då artister som släppt ett prisat debutalbum försöker återskapa känslan och låtarna på nästa albumsläpp (vilket Talking Heads själva kanske gjorde här).
