i totally agree with the above guy, every song on this album rocks, completion backward principle too, they hold their own just fine against the first tubes albums.... you know when you meet someone, if they are "Tubes" fans, then they are cool people.... funny how you can sum someone up by the music they love.....

Potatoes, tomatoes... Actually, I was a fan of Todd before the Tubes, even the mass-density Initiation album; but the Tubes' next album seemed (by its choices of songs) like they were trying too hard to appeal to the MTV crowd, which wasn't significant when Remote was released.

I love Todd, and the Tubes. But the combination only worked on this album. The next one sucked mud.

How do good albums like Remote Control manage to fly under the radar? The Tubes are a far better group than their mainstream popularity would indicate. Their large silent army of fans would easily attest to that.
The album is primarily plugged into the New Wave milieu of course, but many other styles are mingled in to make it a most interesting collection of music to listen to. It's a long time favorite of mine and has never moved from the frontline CD shelf to the CD archive closet.
