Sentence
"The album's title refers to the theory of sophomore slump as applied to second albums—that they consist of unfinished or sub-par material from the first album's recording sessions or of failed attempts to recreate the hits from the first album. The title of the album refers to a critic's review of their first album, Talking Heads '77, which said all of their songs were about buildings and food."

This paragraph is pretty weird to read. A conclusion needs to be found as to which was the origin of the title. The first one seems a bit confusing to me, and the second one I don't really believe, because none of their songs are really about food on the first album. I don't have a user account, so I can't really help that much on this, but it's really bugging me now. 207.7.187.135 14:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The AMG review says:
 * "slyly addressed the sophomore record syndrome, in which songs not used on a first LP are mixed with hastily written new material"
 * so that part is copyvio.
 * "The album's title refers to the theory of sophomore slump as applied to second albums—that they consist of unfinished or sub-par material from the first album's recording sessions or of failed attempts to recreate the hits from the first album. The title of the album refers to a critic's review of their first album, Talking Heads '77, which said all of their songs were about buildings and food."
 * or failed attempts to recreate the hits from the first album
 * no source.
 * " The album's title refers to the theory of sophomore slump as applied to second albums—that they consist of unfinished or sub-par material from the first album's recording sessions or of failed attempts to recreate the hits from the first album. The title of the album refers to a critic's review of their first album, Talking Heads '77, which said all of their songs were about buildings and food."
 * The original version on wikipedia is, 'Also the title of the album refers to a critics review of their first album, Talking Heads '77. He said that all of their songs were about buildings and food' with no reference to the name of the critic.
 * talking-heads.net has a better quote, which is actually sourced.
 * "When we were making this album I remembered this stupid discussion we had about titles for the last album," Tina smirked. "At that time I said, ‘What are we gonna call an album that's just about buildings and food?' And Chris said, ‘You call it more songs about buildings and food.' "
 * Let's go with that.Fantailfan 17:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

"significantly more" popular
I had thought that the relative chart positions spoke for themselves - so this sentence in the lede was just summarizing the chart tables. Talking Heads: 77 made No. 60 on the UK charts, but failed to make the US charts at all, while this album made US No. 29 and UK No. 21. But I agree they do not relate to exact numbers of units. I'll try and look for a source which says this explicitly. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:30, 17 November 2015 (UTC) Here's a collection of reviews that migfht be useful in any case:
