About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

For their third album, the Go-Go's abandoned all pretense of being punk, or even new wave, and went for an unabashed mainstream pop masterpiece. They nearly achieved their goal with Talk Show, an album filled with great pop songs but undermined by its own ambition. Talk Show has a sharper sound than its predecessors, with bigger guitars and drums, which helps drive home the accomplished pop hooks of "Turn to You," "I'm the Only One," and "Yes or No." However, the record is cluttered with half-realized songs and an overly detailed production which occasionally prevents the songs from reaching their full potential. But when the production and song are teamed well, the results are incredible, such as the surging "Head Over Heels," another classic single. Unfortunately, those moments don't arrive frequently enough to make Talk Show the new wave classic that it wants to be. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

June 27, 2002: The third release from this fab band of fun seekers is just wonderful. Tracks like''Turn to you'' and ''Head over Heals'' are edgy and yet so Pop. In all fairness this album is almost as good as their debute album ''Beauty and the Beat''. Belind Carlisle shine's as a vocalist on this outing, brings to mind Deborah Harry on the first 2 Blondie albums. Belinda is confident and yet so girlish on ''Talk Show'', truly a treat to the ears.

February 16, 2001: I think that ''Talk Show'', and the Go-Go's for that matter, were very underated. Unlike their first 2 albums, which were more of a feel-good pop music. Talk Show showcases more on their instruments and writing, which gives it a more mature sound. The pop style is still evident, but not overtly so.
