Released in 1983, Speaking in Tongues marked Talking Heads’ breakthrough into mainstream acclaim. With the explosive hit “Burning Down the House,” the album showcases the band's art-pop edge, groove-driven funk sensibility, and David Byrne's kinetic vocal energy. The 2013 Rhino reissue on 180-gram vinyl brings crisp analog warmth to this new-wave classic, preserving the danceable chaos of Talking Heads at full stride.
