Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Talking Is Hard' catapulted Walk the Moon into mainstream superstardom, largely fueled by the omnipresent success of the lead single 'Shut Up and Dance'. The record aggressively mines 1980s new wave and synth-pop influences, blending them with modern arena-rock dynamics. It stands as a buoyant, hyper-energetic collection of indelible pop hooks designed for massive festival singalongs.
