Votes don't count unless you write at least a sentence or two to go with them.

i hate to be that guy but i still don't "get" the album. it's alright so i gave it a 6, but i just can't seem to understand what the fuss is about that makes everyone love it so much. i've tried, it's just not for me.

Leave Qwertyy alone. Being a Talking Head's fan aint a ****ing club, where you're cool if you like them and you aint if you don't. That is some ****ing hipster **** right there and don't do it to Talking Heads who are one of of my favorite bands.

PS. STFU

The point is your fanboyitis flairs up and you start trippin balls like Chula on Ledsergic Acid Diezeppelinmide. Can't you just chill and let Ol' Qwerty voice an opinion without you judging him?

I love the second half of this album. Houses in Motion and Seen and Unseen are aural sex. I actually like them more than Once in a Lifetime. Listening Wind is more relevent and impactful today then it was back then. And the Overload is a crushing end to the flames, though the heat goes on after the album is done.

And each song is dripping and burning with energy.

Well, one thing I agree with you about is that side two is the better side. Of the four best songs on the album ("Born Under Punches", "Once In a Lifetime", "Listening Wind", "The Overload"), three are on the flip side.

it’s hard to care about your judgement when you essentially only listen to punk music

branch out a bit and maybe someone will care

It's a good album, but not as good as Fear of Music. It's always a bit of a letdown for me when the big hit song is also by far the best song on the album.

It's an amazing and unassailable album.
I prefer the live albums because they are more energetic.
Therefore just a 9/10.
My usual go-to recordings are The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads and the Rome Concert 1980 bootleg.
You should try those, OQB.

I'm waiting for you guys to realize that I'm not Blank, and this album isn't on the list.

Till then...

Remain in Light is pure energy. It is heat in aural form. Those who can't get down with the delicious and frantic psycho funk are clearly assailable in their musical tastes. 10/10

Also, Grindy is right, their live show in Rome is a masterpiece of artistry. For those who haven't seen it, go watch it on youtube.
