Go-Go's - Talk Show .gif) By Rickey Wright
The Go-Go's returned from a long post-Vacation hiatus with this
1984 album, their punchiest-sounding by a mile, thanks to producer Martin
Rushent (Buzzcocks, Altered Images). While its songs don't always touch
the brilliance of Beauty and the Beat, Talk Show is the
sound of a band's confidence and power peaking. The five manage a good
trick here, that of pushing into darker thematic material without losing
their sense of strength. Belinda Carlisle turns in her most poignant vocal
performances ever, while the players live up to the cranked-to-11 sound
Rushent brings them. (The instrumental bridge of "Head Over
Heels" is one of the most thrilling things I.R.S. Records ever
issued--which, as any New Waver will tell you, is really saying
something.) It's both elating and a bit sad that this ended up the last
Go-Go's long-player. But that's, as the title seems to imply, show biz.
