Like its predecessor FEELINGS, LOOK INTO THE EYEBALL folds David Byrne's various sonic preoccupations--funk, world music, string quartets, quirky pop-rock with heady lyrics--into a relatively seamless whole. "Like Humans" bears a post-modern R&B slant that recalls SPEAKING IN TONGUES-era Talking Heads. "The Revolution" is an ornate ballad centered around gentle acoustic guitar. "The Great Intoxication" is powered by the Brazilian percussion of Byrne cohort Vinicius Cantuaria. The strings-and-woodwind arrangement of "The Accident" adds a contemporary-classical edge. But from the breakbeats of "The Moment of Conception" to the Beatlesque guitar chords of "Everyone's in Love with You," Byrne manages to synthesize all the disparate stylistic elements in his formidable palette into a single, focused vision. Lesser men would drop the contextual ball on such an eclectic undertaking, but a veteran conceptualist like Byrne makes it seem easy.
