Everything That Happens Will Happen Today (Suma)

Even when he worked on arguable Talking Heads' three greatest albums, Brian Eno fashioned himself more of an auxiliary 'Head' than a traditional producer. So it's a bit surprising that Everything That Happens feels more like an Eno-produced David Byrne project than an equal collaboration. Though the old friends crafted their songs together and Eno's trademarks are all there--the lush soundscapes, noise collages and ambient weirdness-- Everything That Happens owes much more to Byrne's vocal-heavy, baroque, classical/rock hybrid Grown Backwards than either Talking Heads' hittery Eno-period or the pari's previous album, 1981's experimental My Life in the Bush of Ghosts . Not that there's anything wrong with that: Eno has spent the past three decades producing some of rock's most polished singers, just as Byrne has spent the past three decades trying to convince the world his voice is better suited for Carnegie Hall than CBGB.
