^Thomson, Graeme (25 May 2017). "Talk Talk – 10 of the best". The Guardian. Retrieved 26 May 2018. A minor UK hit, and a Top 100 single in the US, Talk Talk is surging, superior synth-pop, its surface fizz – glistening slabs of electro-drama, funky slap bass and modish cries of "hey, hey!" – sparkling over hidden depths.
