Remain In Light by Talking Heads (ALBUM REVIEW)

[pressove]

Pretty flawless album and by far my favorite of the Talking Heads. It's really hard to pinpoint when these tracks were recorded by just listening and it feels relevant even in the 2000's kind of.

[MusicalEutopia]

I loooooooooooooooooooooooove this album. It's hard to listen to you when this song is playing.

[LunaSeaSane]

Cool history. Just two things...

00:14 "Remain in Light"

01:03 Tina Weymouth

[redmojoe]

dick

[G42RAZORBLADESMILE]

shut up and lets hear the FUCKIN SONG

[ECHOES2131]

All i could hear was a big

ñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñe­ñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñeñe­ñe

[mindlesspup]

It's "remain in light", not "remain in the light". this is the danger of youthetube.

[talkingbeatlehead]

Tina WeyMOUTH! not Weyworth

[madtnt]

you are a boob - stay in your mom's cellar ...please

[mindlesspup]

@madtnt right on - I posted a similar response.

[flatblacktelephone]

Great info man. I just wish you would have said "Remain In Light" instead of "Remain in the light" You said it twice in the video as you hold up the sleeve, and then you have it written in your description... REMAIN IN LIGHT!!

awsome review

[EGI313]

Nice info. Thanks.

[sex6cult9revolution]

I appreciate that this isn't a 2-minute review because it is a CLASSIC album.

Just for the record, though, I don't think I heard mention of Adrian Belew or Bernie Worrell, legendary musicians who contributed here. Belew's guitar work in particular is an indispensable and well-known contribution to the album.

[stickpussy]

Is that an album review or a biography? Thankfully tubs is obscuring his face with the cover art the majority of the time.

[sidensvans67]

;) kewl

[LeaveDenbyAlone]

my last comment was made a few minutes into the review, I am now past the halfway point. This review is really fucking banal.

[LeaveDenbyAlone]

you botched a bunch of names

[johnmckinlay67]

Hello again YWIR. Ran out of space there ! The band always had a great, innovative sound, but they also incorporated Brazilian rhythms into their music, of which David is patron of a solely latin-based label. I have to differ when you mention David having mental block ! This guy is a genius... of Celtic origin, music,art & poetry are in our blood !  Thanks for posting .

[johnmckinlay67]

Hello YWIR. In defence of Byrne..When you mention Tina & chris ' band Tom Tom Club..Jerry Harrison also done some of his own stuff. Back to Byrne..He was involved in a lot of projects at this time, probably his most productive period ever. They made "Remain in Light " " Fear of Music " & the 1st live album " The name of this band is Talking Heads "Byrne was also involved with Eno "My life in the bush of ghosts" "Catherine Wheel" "Knee Plays" , so I guess it was a hectic time for all. Miss them .

[yeaaaaidontcare]

hey whats the song that starts with : that funy thing thats like beow weo and that weird thing then it changes to home is were i want to be

[knopfler720]

This album and Fear of Music are my favorite Talking Heads albums. Brilliance abounds.

[vividman100]

[fluffthebunny]

No need to wish, there's a pause button.

[hotapplepie2009]

you must think your pretty special...

[dutrip]

Talking Heads are cool and you are not at all. Please keep your pointless comments for yourself. no need to share with the world

[Hooverdan]

fuck off

[Hooverdan]

Complete  CUNT.

[undersolo]

You could have at least gotten the name of the band - and the bass player - right!

[flybyefish]

who is this creep ?

[yomyomcam]

He taaaaaalks aaaaa loooooot and I hear NOOOOO music whatsoever...

[blink182python]

learn your shit, jerk

thats a fucking ill song

....

[cripfripp]

were you reading wikipedia?

[YoureWrongImRight]

I look at wiki, metacritic, amazon and a bunch of other places. I also try to look up old bio's and interviews. Last Fm, Discog are also pretty informative.

[nathanisaksson]

Cool review. This was my first Talking Heads album, I instantly fell in love with it seconds after putting it in, it just fit right into my little zone.  Never knew the back story. After buying this, I got really into Talking Heads (and I was already a big Brian Eno fan). You are right to say this is a great introductory album even though none of their other albums sound quite like this, musically or lyrically.

[amusingsbnl]

My mom likes this band.

[WillMillion15]

Classic album.

[Frequencitee]

Wow! Thank you!

I purchased this 8-track ("OMG ...did he say 8-track?") specifically for the song, "Once in a Lifetime" ...mainly inspired by the video on the MTV of another era.

And slowly, the rest of the music grew on me to a point where...never mind...that's deep.

~~~~~~~> cont.

[Frequencitee]

But I believe that the approach to Remain in Light, shattered every left-brained attempt by pop musicians to raise an overnight buck, that we had to endure. This is definitely one of my all time favorite compilations. Thanks for the 'ups'!

You are a rarity in your own right.

[YoureWrongImRight]

8 tracks are tight. My family owns a huge, coffee table sized one in the basement, that I hope to inherit one day. That thing is a BEAST and probably weighs more than car.

Thanks for the kind words. Made my day.

[MrGoldfangaz49]

@Frequencitee

FoSho!

[bipolabitch]

I love the talking heads!! I miss them.

[PapercuttWilliams]

ill check that out it looks good

[RickyShoreSings]

the first song playing in this video is one of my favorite songs of all time. i used to put it on like every mix i made for people. my favorite talking heads is stop making sense even though i normally hate live albums. all the songs sound better live on that one. i saw tom tom club live in detroit and it was awesome to see tina weymouth prance around barefoot. very interesting story! never heard it before. great review as always.

[YoureWrongImRight]

I love Born Under Punches, too. I played it last night.

[neonfoxincolour]

do ya know what's funny? the album name is "Remain in the Light" although the album cover says "Remain in Light". Talking Heads need no articles!!!

[YoureWrongImRight]

Whoops !

Edited it, thanks !

[elvispresly1]

funky music :^D albums from the 1980's are great, awesome review! 5* :^)

[theneedledrop]

I love this album + love TH! :-D

[YoureWrongImRight]

[fijberto]

[RickyShoreSings]

[YoureWrongImRight]

[fijberto]

[WolfataDoor]

My favorite Talking Heads album. A masterpiece.

[jumblejunkie]

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE

I have this on cassette tape

[YoureWrongImRight]

Nice !

[christopherSmac]

Remain In Light is a fantastic Talking Heads album. Born Under Punches, Once In A Lifetime, Seen and not Seen, and Crosseyed & Painless are my favorite tracks off that album.

Great review!

[Yaksniffer]

talking heads are so great. TAKE A LOOK AT THESE HANDS!
