Bit good innit ![]()
Innit. Been trying it since i was 17.
It was recorded in the dark. Give it a go in the dark. Ideally through a bassy system or with over ear headphones.
Alternatively on a night drive.

do laughing stock next!!
yeah, it’s well good
Clicked with me the first time I heard it. One of my Top 100, for sure.
I nicked it out my dad’s CD collection because he briefly compared it to what Radiohead had done with Kid A on a family holiday and then I spent the rest of the week not shutting up with questions about Talk Talk
I was not disappointed when i finally listened to it
Love Laughing Stock but I actually find it a bit terrifying. Spirit of Eden is uplifting- Laughing Stock is still beautiful but it can be a bit too much for me sometimes. Myrrhman for instance- incredibly dark track.
Not sure I bothered to listen to it when @JohnM put it up
but it beat all the others.
Just listened through twice and I still don’t really have an opinion. It’s nice but that’s it.
Had it urged on me a long time ago by a fellow at my first job. For a long time I didn’t listen to the copy he gave me because I thought it would be prog (did not know anything about Talk Talk or that period in music really). When I finally did listen I felt like such a fool. Great album.
Edit: Also I do not quite remember how but Talk Talk led me to Earth, a band I fell in love with immediately so it also has that going for it. Think it was the whole post-rock vibe it got me into.
Same. Does nothing for me. If it doesn’t click, it doesn’t click. Whatever.
I think i slightly prefer the Mark Hollis solo album more than the Talk Talk albums
