Remain In Light

Sin mucho que comentar, no me dice nada el estilo de este disco. Lo veo demasiado experimental. Utiliza instrumentales muy largos al estilo de Pink Floyd pero sin conseguir un resultado que me atraiga. 3/10.

repetitive AF 1/5

1, DNF

Shite

Didn't suffer from the annoying obnoxious vocal style that this band's singer has used on Talking Heads stuff that came up before on this list, but it just ranges between boring and actively unpleasant to listen to. I really don't get the appeal of this band

Boring

Not good. An interim album from their first amazing sounds to their later amazing sounds. This one is a poor representation of their sounds.

This was one of the worst albums I ever listened to, it actually brought me pain to make it all the way through.

I didn't like this one. Not my style.

Besides the hit nothing was listenable

Don’t like it.

didn't really like it

Niet voor mij gemaakt

Yell-singing,nothing to recommend itself. Even the instruments are uninteresting. 1/5

It was short at least.

Too boring. Very moody but I didn’t take anything away from it.

Really really not my style. Very busy percussion in most songs.

Not for me

Aight

don´t like

Terrible.

Was this music designed to annoy me? I couldn't intentionally make something as random or obnoxious. The singer sucks so bad.

Another Talking Heads album. I didn’t like the last one, and I didn’t like this one either. I usually like stuff that’s a little different, but I think this band is just too oddball for me.

Too experimental. 1/5

Art Pop featuring mostly repetitive bad lyrics and poor singing.

Even though I’ve never really been won over by Talking Heads, I truly tried to give this a sincere listen and walked in with an open mind. But this album? Not for me at all. Even with the saving grace of “Once in a Lifetime,” one good pop song can’t save the rest of the album from being a rambling, muddy, pseudo-intellectual recontextualization of ~world~ rhythms that aren’t even enjoyable grooves to listen to. Truly a painful listen for me throughout, and I was trying my best not to skip it completely. While I see the vision, I find the execution downright exhausting and incompressible, which is how I imagine I’d feel if I had to hold a conversation with David Byrne. And that’s me being kind.

Second consecutive day of Talking Heads. Still not a fan. Didn't finish listening. Yes, this album has 'Once in a Lifetime' which I know (but is not a favourite) but the rest was just... No. Not my thing.

First listened to this whilst on a very windy hike. It didn't fit the vibe, but thought I heard bits I'd quite like. Decided to give it another listen at home, in case it deserved a 4. As each song passed on the second listen, it got worse and worse, until it couldn't get any worse.

Never liked the Talking Heads and this didn’t change that

One classic song and not much else

1. born under punchez - 0 2. crozzeyed - 0 3. the great curve - 0 4. once in a lifetime - 1 5. houzez in motion - 0 6. zeen and not zeen - 0 7. liztening uuind - 1.5 8. the overload - 1 9. felaz riff - 0 10. unizon - 0 11. double groove - 0 12. right ztart - 0

??? Don’t like this, too much change in music

not my taste

Unlistenable. It sounds like a boy in his room on a kiddie keyboard.

Pido perdón, solo escuché 2 canciones😀

No es de m8 gustó y no no lo escucharía de nuevo.

no lo escuché enteri porque las dos primeras canciones se me hicieron horribles 1/10

Electro-funk ... not interesting sound and the lyrics make no sense.

neh... not my type...

Sorry, I actually found this kind of painful to listen to. The first song I had hopes, the one radio release was all right, but by the end of it I had to take a couple of breaks, because, woof.

Not doing it for me, rhythms are way too repetitive

- zu chaotisch für mich

Chaotic. Stressed me out. 1-2 beats I liked though.

1/10

nahhh

not loving it. idk, just not my vibe. the vocals are just not ellaborate enough for me to enjoy.

did not like really. too weird for me

Chato

So after seeing the Pumpkins, I had a feeling I wasn't going to enjoy the next several albums and I could knock a few out in a day. I was correct. First, I went back to review some reviews about the Penguin group and was amazed how much love they received. But I say it until I'm dead, it's music, Love what you love. Talking Heads - they have a few songs I really enjoy. Swamp is a great stoner song. This album, well Once in a lifetime is from my childhood MTV days. A good song with, at the time, one of the videos of the time. I do like this song and brings back some good MTV memories. Other than that Crosseyed and Painless was decent. Not so much the lyrics, but the sound had a bit a funk to it and felt it was OK. Other than that, not for me. Will not revisit at weed/Mario kart time. I will give a 1 for Once in a lifetime. 1

1 Oh my God Brian Eno produced this… smh. I’ve mentioned before that I'm not the biggest Talking Heads fan. Like, what even is this music? Funk music for people who are really into Andy Warhol and Roxy Music? That’s the vibe I’ve gotten from the band on everything of theirs I’ve heard prior, and that’s what I was greeted with immediately here. Only in this case, halfway through, it was sprinkled with some of the most annoying electronic noises I’ve ever heard (dammit Eno!). It didn’t get much better from there… in fact, I groaned once I realized Once in a Lifetime is on this album. The only thing I may ask myself when I hear this song is why I’m listening to it. The rest of the album is just repetitive electronic loops with David Byrne being David Byrne all over them - the strongest points for me were the songs at the end that involved him dialing it back a bit. I have no idea why these guys are critical darlings with a cult following. Because that’s the case though, I’m sure we’ll be seeing even more of them on this list, so I guess they have a couple more chances coming to them ahead. I do genuinely like the song And She Was, so hopefully they have other stuff out there I’ll enjoy as well.

Just bad

Gar nicht meins. Irgendwie lärm

I fully respect this album and understand why people would like it; it's just not my cup of tea. Once in a lifetime i could revisit; the rest of the album I would rather not listen to again.

Basically unlistenable.

Quite possibly the worst band of all time

Keckec

They have much better albums, but this one is crap.

1,5

Не понял

Notes: Had to skip the first song half way through, just too much going on for me. Oh “Once in a Lifetime” is a famous one, recognise it from like a current Netflix show advert. I assume this is gonna be the better song of the lot, but I’m not sure I’m a huge fan of this song anyway - not awful but not anything special. A lot of this, especially the lyrics, feel like they’re being made up on the spot. Even though I think it’s because of an intentional style they’re doing (idk maybe to make it sound more informal or like a live performance?) it just sounds a bit messy to me. I think it got a bit better as it went on but I also started paying less attention. Still not something I’d listen to. Rating 1 cus I think if the album was put on while chilling at a friends I would notice it and want the music changed - not as bad as the last 1 star though

Öh, avausraitaa jaksoin hetken, ja ajattelin jättää siihen. Annoin nyt sitten mahiksen muillekin biiseille pienellä pikakelausmeiningillä. Mukana oli jotain hyvääkin, mutta monet kappaleet kääntyi joko kakofoniaksi tai itseään toistaviksi. Johonkin biisiin oli varmaan sämplätty jotain Windows XP:n käynnistysääntä tai jotain... En kuunnellut loppuun.

Talking Heads nimenä herätti mielenkiintoa, mutta tämä oli kyllä todella huono levy ja iso pettymys. Ihmeellistä kikkailua ja pimputtelua ilman mitään punaista lankaa.

Not really feeling this group apart from ‘Once in a lifetime’

born under punches is cool af. carries iconic vibes fr. would love to shoplift a vinyl of this bc i want it but not enough to buy it yk. punk rock aesthetic. overall, an 8/10. i can now die peacefully.

I’m

Not sure if I liked this album.
