Same album, Stop Making Sense is a movie based around the live concert. So the soundtrack is the concert.

Marijan didn't we have some sort of an agreement on not bumping eachother's embarassing threads from our n00b days?

Psycho Killer is the first song i learned on bass. I never really heard anything else like it.

You can just pull the old "are you homophobic?" card.

Depends on whether or not your expecting more of the same.
The trick is to take each album at face value and avoid comparing.

Probably the greatest band to ever walk God's green earth.

They certainly do well to comply with the title of the show

Ok, I'm resuming my trip down their discography. I've just listened to Speaking in Tongues and I like it even more than Remain in light. Most of the songs I've already heard on Stop making sense but I've also discovered one incredible tune not present there, Pull up the roots which gave me goosebumps. I can't believe I've finally discovered an older band (and from the 80's no less) that I could get into and that hasn't aged a bit...

I'm not sure if they can top SIT though...this is a freakin' masterpiece.
