Remain In Light

Great, great album. An absolute classic.

Simply the best.

one of my top faves

It's great

.

Paikoitellen tarttuvaa rytmiikkaa, mutta pääosin taiteesta ymmärtämättömälle kakofoniaa. Pelkästään Once in a Lifetime kappaleen takia pyöristän kuitenkin ylöspäin.

3.5/5 listened to talking heads radio all dayyy

Loved it, the range of instruments made the songs catchy and upbeat without being overly cheesy

Never got into this really, wasn't horrendous to listen to though just didn't interest me.

Is there already a genre called TranceFunk? Prince without the sex, but that just means dancing can exist without lust; bigger frontiers for physical expression of the mind and soul. I'd forgotten what a great bass player Tina Weymouth is; totally underappreciated. Remain In Light was on heavy rotation in restaurant kitchen where I worked; this is great music to cook to. (Eno might find that quite the compliment.)

I don’t know if Talking Heads is a group I enjoy actively listening to, but it was good as background music. And I recognized a song! So we’re off to a good start.

Awesome album. Good to listen to “Once in a Lifetime” again.

Not my cuppa tea!

Totally dig the music and lyrics, vocals are kinda weird. But I guess that's the Talking Head for you. Might be interesting to have an all instrumental version of this album. Got better in later songs. Really enjoyed the unfinished outtakes in the remastered version.

Great Album

Not sure if I liked this album.

Tässä oli vähän kaikenlaista. Funkahtava(?) avaus toimi varsinkin. Wikipedia kertoo, että tekivät tässä yhteistyötä vanhan tuttumme Brian Enon kanssa. :D Vahva kolmonen.

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.

Jos Kate Bush ei ollut liian taiteellista, niin tämä kyllä oli. Sen verran kurkkasin wikipediasta, että Brian Eno on häärinyt tuottajana. Selkeesti kannattaa vältellä kaikkea, missä tuon nimen bongaa :D

02/22 - Yesterday I worked on updating the floor penetration at the penthouse to match the Hilti design specifications. I then added the UL detail to the manufacturing model and coordinated with process piping. I then worked on going through the manufacturing set and aligning our sheets with Train A. Then I picked up a few comments from the DC for Drum Storage and added a set to BB. Overall I though this was a really good album. I didnt realize prior how old of a band the Talking Heads were. I saved a few songs and might revisit this album at a later time to really dive into it.

Pierwszy album z listy i zdziwienie, bo jednak go znam, nowa fala pelna geba, 4 album w dyskografii gadajacych glow, oraz chyba ich najbardziej eksperymentalny projekt, polaczenie rocka, popu oraz elektroniki, mogloby sie wydawac, ze takie polaczenie musi oznaczac mialki album, ktory bedzie jak najbardziej przystepny dla sluchacza, a jest wrecz przeciwnie, lirycznie niektore kawalki tworza mocno psychodeliczny klimat, z chorkami, unikalnymi wokalami pana byrna, ktore na niektorych trakach maja forme lirycznej recytacji, tworzac mini ballady, bo czas kawalkow jest raczej dosc standardowy i tylko jeden kawalek ma ponad 6 minut, ale radiowa popularnosc odniosl tylko kawalek once in lifetime, reszta jest prawdopodobnie zbyt eksperymentalna do grania w eterze, tak z nowosci pierwszy dzisiaj sluchalem deluxa z 4 niedokonczonymi trackami, ktore poza unision sa calkowicie intrumentalne, skads znam utwor right start, ale nie jestem w stanie powiedziec skad, pewnie jakis sampel zapadl mi w pamiec.

A classic really

El empleo de la guitarra me resulta refrescante en este disco, aporta sonidos interesantes. La primera canción fue la que más me gustó, me pareció un gran inicio y Felas's riff tiene una ondita padre. Tiene también variedad de moods. No es mucho mi estilo, pero está chido de todas formas. Mood: no sé, esta vez no se me ocurre un buen mood cagado.

meh

A true classic from very early 80s. Every listening comes with new discoverings.

"Crosseyed and Painless" Released: 1980 (promotional) "Once in a Lifetime" Released: February 2, 1981 "Houses in Motion" Released: May 5, 1981

ooooooooooo that bass sound. dude this album is great.

I have a difficult time making it through many of the Talking Heads albums because they seem to repeat the lyrics over and over.

One of my all-time favorites

Great!

Talking Heads + Eno always yields amazing results. Dark and weird. One of my favorites album of all time.

Love love love this album. "Crosseyed and Painless" & "The Great Curve" are 2 of my top 3 or 4 Talking Heads songs. This album is so funky and not as stiff as their earlier work. Classic

Genuinamente me puso de buenas este álbum y, bueno, tras no estar seguro de saber cómo llamarle a lo que escuchaba, descubrí que se supone que esto es new wave... A los Talking Heads les he escuchado una que otra canción, pero creo que nunca había escuchado un disco completo. Qué bonito pasar por éste, sin duda hay sonidos muy frescos, como una reformulación del rock (?). "The Great Curve" y "Once in a Lifetime" son las que más me gustaron del lanzamiento original. De la versión extendida con sus canciones "inacabadas", "Fela's Riff" y "Right Start" son las que más disfruté, especialmente la que hace alusión a Fela Kuti, qué buen ritmo. Casi no puse atención a las letras, porque sólo me dejé llevar por el ambiente, animado, al parecer y porque fui feliz escuchando este disco. 9/10

Might not be everyone’s cup of team but you can definitely see how it was influential for the new wave genre specially by mixing a bunch sounds that you wouldn’t expect

My brain thinks this is 5 stars. It influenced so many artists over the past 40+ years. I love the grooves but my heart would only give this 3 stars so I settled with 4

Pues quitando "Once in a lifetime", me ha parecido totalmente prescindible.

These guys prove you don’t have to he weird to be experimental and try new things! Great album!

One of my favorite bands of the last decade (for me, not them. They haven't been together in a while). This album is not my favorite Talking Heads album. It's pretty middle of the road for me. However, I gave Modern Lovers and Fun Loving Criminals 4 stars, and Remain in Light is WAY better than either of those. Once in a Lifetime is a song that gets better and hits harder every single time I hear it. That track alone also makes this a 5 star album. But Born Under Punches, Crosseyed and Painless, and Fela's Riff are also all top notch

Descomunal.

My only real negative note is how repetitive the songs are, but at the same time, they kind of use that to add effect. Incredible album. Favorite Track(s): “Born Under Punches,” “The Great Curve,” “Once In A Lifetime,” and “Houses In Motion”

Now this is the new wave thag I want to listen to. Classic, love it, all around amazing

The perfect New Wave album.

I liked about half the songs.

regular

Ahead of its time. Love how creative it is.

I don't get it?

thought I would like it more than I did. Once in a Lifetime is still a great song

I like it... but not my fav Talking Heads album. 3.5

Bängeri 80-talets rock

while I've listened to this band's songs quite a few times in my lifetime (mostly their hits) but i was quite pleased with this album! the synth/funk/pop/rock was very eclectic, and definitely had my head moving the entire album. Weirdly, and probably just me, but sometimes the lyrics felt like Paul Simon wrote them, but thankfully didn't compose the music, lol

Always remember - that is a woman playing that bass. Girl F@ckin Power!

Love House in Motion and Once in a Lifetime. It's such an interesting and unusual sound, and David Byrne's delivery fits perfectly. It's close to a 4, but a lot of the tracks aren't quite as memorable.

Cool to listen to, but not really my jam.

Don't know much... beside their claissc track Psycho Killers. Top Track: Crosseyed And Painless

So good. I’ve never listened to the whole album. And now I have, and feel richer for it.

Eclectic, fun.

I've listened to this album before but it had been a while, and I expected to like it more than I did. There something opaque about the Talking Heads, like you can tell there's a joke there but it's also serious, and what exactly is the joke? I continue to find myself impressed by the technical abilities of the band that sometimes get overshadowed by the strangeness and by David Byrne's singing style. For that reason I especially appreciated the instrumental "unfinished outtakes."

As repetitive as Daft Punk, but far more musical. Still, not really my cup of tea

This album feels like a dreary mixture of 70s synth cop music mixed with talking heads weirdness. Once in a lifetime is probably their best known track but it feels so different to the rest of the album. Still enjoyed hearing it but not my favourite album of theirs

siccc

Pretty good didn't listen to the whole thing but do like talking heads

This feels like the most 80s of all records.

One of the best

It’s great. If a little too weird and experimental in places.

Better than the last talking head but not by much

Bijzonder bandje, moet zeker hun hits vaker luisteren

I've got nothing against raggae, but it's just enough to listen to in while working

Love the energy of the looping grooves and stream of consciousness lyrics. Listened to Deluxe Edition.

At first I wasn't a huge fan, but after a while I started to dig it. Interesting rhythmic elements throughout all songs. "Once In A Lifetime" is a happy-sounding song with actually depressing lyrics which is always a fun combo. A lot of random little electronic/swelling guitars are pretty nice, still this is all pretty modern sounding. 1980, wow.

Eh... There's too much synth in this rock. New wave was alright but not in this particular case.

If Sisyphus had this in his headphones there would be no fable to tell. Unrelenting and irreversible forward motion. The Great Curve's hypnotic cyclical rythhm draws you into a state of fevered delerium, with the only hints of sanity appearing in the form of the sporadic lead breaks. Seen and Not Seen follows a narrative that's beautifully relatable yet totally abstract. Listening Wind is deceptively heavy in its story and Overload feels very ominous and Floyd.

Don't live this band

Banger

African rhythms, they get into my head and I can't think straight... Not a music I would normally listen to.

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

Heard before

NOT MY TASTE

Artsy fartsy, das ganze Konzept. Musikalisch echt ganz gut, aber ohne Byrnes Gesang wäre es noch viel besser. Ich kann mich der „Musikkritik“ wieder einmal nicht anschließen, für mich kein Riesenwurf, gute 3 Sterne maximal.

Great album

Cudan, al generalno ok. Born under punches nije los, i once in a lifetime poznat

Definitely the most interesting album so far. Super experimental, it's incredible this was even mainstream popular. Several songs I actually liked, but most are just like "what the fuck is this"

Meh, meget ensformigt

Lots of really interesting sounds that sound like no other music. Very engaging, and there's that one really good tune, 'Listening Wind' that I haven't heard before. An enjoyable listen all round.

Good but, won’t listen again.

Pretty odd. Starts out proggy and funky. Ends dour and goth rock.

One cool song. Style is mostly a repetitive loop. Bad lyrics, poor singing.

calssic experimental rock album. pas mon genre

C'est pas mal. Pas de musiques vraiment mémorables mais un bon ensemble.

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

Very danceable

Inspired.

just a jam

Cat Stevens' voice reminds me a lot of Eddie Vedder's. It's a measured tone to the songs, but holds a lot of meaning and emotion in the words

Pretty underwhelming just kinda forget I’m even listening to music typa album... not bad just ehh whatever sure ig.... it’s got some good tunes okay lol

born under punches

Decent album that, 40 years later, lost its groundbreaking appeal for me

Lidt for mærkeligt. Som albummet siger... Meget snakkende musik med enkelte gode numre i mellem. Ikke min smag

великолепно, про этот альбом стоит расписать очень серьезно.

And you may ask yourself, what is this beautiful house? It’s this album!

Love the band

3.5 stars

Innovative? Yes. Influential? Eh, maybe. Throw it on the heap of albums that are notable, but not necessarily a great listen. Also, it reminds me of that terrible Matt Damon movie about tiny people. Bet track: Seen and Not Seen

Solid grooves, s/o to Pat for recommending this before

Proof that something good came out of the 80s

Kind of makes me see why some people call Talking Heads a "punk" band, though this feels like it has more in debt to reggae and world music. Fast, crazy fun, weird music to dance to. Talking Heads are awesome. Favorite tracks: "Crosseyed and Painless", "The Great Curve", "Once in a Lifetime"

Still like FoM better, but great album. The outtakes are stellar too.

Born Under Punches is astounding, I can see why this is revolutionary

Truly bangin’ album. Band in top form, kickstarting the 80s and art rock of the decade.

i know ive heard this band before but i cant remember which song (checked one familiar song is Road to Nowhere pero i dont think this is the version that I know (verified, release the sunbird version yung alam ko)) 1st song - there seems to be 2 overlapping songs, i had to pause to make sure smth else is playing somewhere THERE. by listening to the album's radio, i found out that i knew them from This must be the place (THAT intro, i realized talkingheads usually has unique intros i like it)
