David Byrne: Grown Backwards - PopMatters Music Review (1040 words)
Indeed, Grown Backwards is not without its flaws, from songs that sound more like a soundtrack than something that deserves full attention to lyrics that seem like holdovers from a persona Byrne has been well-served in at least partially shedding.
That stinks up its corners of Grown Backwards like it did to Look into the Eyeball, but only a couple of songs suffer heavily for it, namely "Dialog Box" and "Civilization", both of which at least prepared the listener for his or her immanent groan with their titles.
Grown Backwards is not a record about 9/11, he insists, but it was affected by a local catastrophe and two wars he didn't believe in.
