MOG Editorial Review

The Talking Heads were one of the funkiest avant-pop bands ever conceived, but members Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz took this idea even further throughout their debut as the Tom Tom Club in 1981. Stripping away some of the weirder, more challenging aspects of their main band, their self-titled album truly lets its hair down while showing off their interest in hip-hop's earlier years, with proto-rap appearing on standout jams like "Wordy Rappinghood." However, it's "Genius of Love" that rightfully steals the show, as its iconic synths and guitar riffs have been sampled to high heaven since, and it makes for one of the greatest dancefloor jams to come out of the '80s. Though Weymouth and Frantz only reappear as the Tom Tom Club from time to time, each listen to this debut is enough to make us wish they were around more often.
AMG Review of Tom Tom Club

"Who needs to think when your feet just go?" So sings Tina Weymouth on Tom Tom Club's debut album. And rightly so -- this was the sunny break in the islands that the rhythm section of Talking Heads wanted, and they got it, away from the art-school intellectualism that had resulted in the classic but understandably very unsunny Remain in Light. This album, a collection of funky, sprightly little tunes recorded in Barbados with Weymouth's sisters, hubbie and drummer Chris Frantz, and several of the members of the Remain in Light tour group: Adrian Belew, guitar, and Steven Stanley, percussion. Ironically, hoping to toss off a fun album under the radar, the group came out with an album, the best tracks of which, "Genius of Love" and "Wordy Rappinghood," became enormously influential throughout the '80s and '90s, eventually getting ripped off wholeheartedly for Mariah Carey's "Daydream." The album also marks a point in music history when the New York alternative scene and the burgeoning hip-hop scene were influencing each other, when both parties were on to something new. It's a snapshot of a time, and still holds together fairly well.
