The first "heretic" of the Christian music industry.......2006-09-11

When I first found Burnett's The Talking Animals on vinyl back in the 1980's, I really enjoyed this album, especially the song "The Wild Truth" without realizing that this album was about his faith and other human interests. Now that I share his faith, I enjoy it much more than the oh-so-obvious Christian rock that is popular today. The subtleties behind all the tracks of this album make this CD re-release worth the monetary price.

I particularly enjoy the tracks "Image" (with it's multi-lingual translations), "Purple Heart", "Relentless" (about God's grace, BTW) and the vastly underrated "Frank Cash and the Morning Paper", the latter of which is a wickedly subtle take on the "does God exist" debate with a dash of Rod Serling in the lyrics for subtlety's sake.

At the time this album was first released, Burnett was listed on the Christian charts. Now, he joins his subsequent brother-in-Christ Kevin Max as two of the "heretics" who chose more alternative songwriting styles over the more mainstream Christian artists' trend towards feeding the industry beast. Burnett refuses to hit listeners over the head with a cross-shaped two-by-four, preferring to let his lyrics sink in slowly in hopes the the seeds he sows may someday take root.

Sporadically Brilliant but Bland by T Bone Standards.......2002-09-12

Sometimes T Bone is too smart for his own good; other times he tries to make a straight rock album and you get the sense he's just slumming. "The Talking Animals" doesn't quite gel, even though "The Killer Moon," co-written by his (then) six-year-old daughter, ranks up there as a Burnett classic. (It's also an amazing video.) "The Strange Case of Frank Cash..." is a wonderful story but works only for the first few listens. The rest is, it pains me to write, sort of generic. You know there's a genius behind it all but it sounds like he's trying to make a pop album. Though I heartily recommend all his other efforts, this one is just for the die-hards.

Talking to Animals will knock your socks off!.......1999-07-13

Talking to animals is one of the most sophisticated, talented groups of musicians I have ever seen. Juliana Nash's voice will mesmorize and overwhelm you with its beauty and strength, while the band will thrill and surprise you. This CD rocks!

Sarah McLachlan knows something you don't know........1998-08-24

I was at Lilith Fair this summer and heard Sarah McLachlan (my heroine) was going to get up and sing with a new band (Talking to Animals). So I checked them out and had the best time. I bought the cd and it's just as great. And I think it's cool that artist's like Sarah M. support their piers.

finally, a female singer that knows how to rock !.......1998-06-30

i've seen them live and this cd really captures the raw energy that they put out in concert. juliana nash, the lead singer, has one of the most original and awsome voices today. my prediction for 1998, talking to animals will blow all those other sorry ass bands off the charts. buy this cd now!
