This was the turning point that led to a shift towards American pop.
This sixth album marks a departure from the previous album, which incorporated Afro-funk influences, and a return to simple songs.
This album marked a return to American roots pop. It included hits such as "And She Was" and "Road to Nowhere." It features clear melodies and an acoustic sound, highlighting David Byrne's expressive talent. It was a commercial success, reaching number 20 on the US album charts.
