Desert Island Disk. The peak of the collaboration between the four members of the Talking Heads and producer Brian Eno. There are sounds on this album that are still innovative 28 years later. They truly started a new genre of music here, blending instruments, rhythmic patterns, and lyrically delivery in ways that influence a wide variety of artists to this day. The new master of this album, overseen by Jerry Harrison brings elements barely head before into sharper focus. Recommended to new and old fans.

A Perfect Classic. Remain In Light is certainly 5 stars not just because it is an excellent album...it is about as near perfect as a rock album can get. I hesitate to use the term "rock" because it is so much more than that. With Brian Eno at the helm and great guest musicians like Adrian Belew, Talking Heads began their immortalization here. The songs are rhythmically complex and dynamic, the grooves funky, and the instrumentation masterfully layered, with Eno's electonic embellishments and production complimenting David Byrne's nerd-king vide to a T. Everyone knows Once In a Lifetime, but put your headphones on and take in all the different instrumental and vocal gyrations of Born Under Punches, the frenetic drive of The Great Curve, the plaintive vocals fronting the middle eastern feel of Listening Wind (a topical song now as it was in the early 1980s), the pure funk of Crosseyed and Painless. This album helped redefine pop music and paved the way for countless pop fusions to come. A must have.

Insane. This is so insanely good that it deserves 5 stars for side 1 alone --- even though side 2 isn't so great.

Half great. I’m giving this album three stars because I hate the first three songs, on which I thought the band tried too hard to be clever, but I absolutely adore the last five songs. My three favorite songs are Houses In Motion, Seen and Not Seen (really love the words for this one) and The Listening Wind.

5 stars relative to other Heads albums. Probably 4 stars relative to pretty much anything. Talking Heads are an acquired taste, to some extent - but "Remain in Light" is absolutely one of their top three. (The other two are "Speaking in Tongues" and the "Stop Making Sense" live tour disc.) The remastered album gives a bit more warmth and depth to the tracks, and the extras aren't all that fabulous, but RIL as an album remains one of the best ever done in the early 80s in general, and inarguably one of the best the Heads ever did. The album starts with "Born Under Punches", a superb opening - and from there it just gets better. The A side is filled with fascinating rhythm and vocal tracks; the B side is good, though they probably could have done without "The Overload". "Listening Wind" is relevant, and particularly creepy now, in a way that few pop songs composed 30 years ago are. You don't have to be an 80s freak to like this album. You don't need to be a fan of Talking Heads. All you really need is an appreciation of the kind of experiments pop was making in the early 80s, and a willingness to try something other than what eventually became the genres of metal; or goth; or emo. They were loosely classified as "alternative", but as a band, Talking Heads were a genre unto themselves. RIL is one of the two best they ever did in this range, and definitely one of the best anyone ever did in this range.

Wayne. This is the worst album i ever bought.I remember being so dissapointed when i first played it. Sometimes music grows on you but this album just didnt.

remains one of the best. Quite simply one of the best albums ever made,in it's original form.......interesting but unecessary extra tracks somehow detract from the stunning impact of the original 9 songs. If you don't have this album your collection is seriously lacking
