As the guy who inflicted this on Nick and Alexia (I never thought it would even come close to winning the poll!), I’ll go first. After three albums of steadily growing acclaim, this fourth album was an unexpected left turn and blew everyone’s mind. Even I, already a dedicated fan, listened to Remain In Light and thought “What the hell IS this?” All I knew was I had to hear it again and again until I decided it was amazing. This is their most acclaimed album (though I personally prefer More Songs About Buildings and Food), and Once in a Lifetime - and its iconic video - became a sensation on MTV. Heavily influenced by producer Brian Eno, this was a groundbreaking album that influenced a whole generation of musicians and artists. Talking Heads immediately went on to other styles, exploring pop and funk in different ways, and never worked with Eno again. Which makes this album one of a kind. Now I’ll watch the reaction - can’t wait!

JK, did the Video also end at the 40 minute Mark ? - The intended Pause, to aid Alexia's Back Issue, became a "Black Stream-ing", going forward.

We will fix it right now. I looked at the original edit and it must have been wrong file. Sorry guys!!

OMG, I've got a lot to say here Nick and Alexia. Please don't let a challenging full album reaction divert you from what bonded us with you initially, THE MUSIC! I sit down, put on my headphones, and watch/listen to your reactions and give them 100% of my attention. Very occasionally, when I have some Music with Nick reactions to catch up on, I'll watch them on the TV when I'm doing my ironing! (You do a lot of reactions Nick). I do not want to hear you talking about music (then you become 'talking heads'), I want to experience your reactions to hearing the music at the same time as I am hearing it. That is so much more fun for me. I hope others agree with me.

I always press 'send' too soon! Right, let's move onto Talking Heads. You know, I am a Yes, Genesis, Floyd, ELP etc. fan but I like other genres as well. Talking Heads emerged from the New York punk scene in the second half of the 70's, but it became obvious early on that they had so much more about them musically and were much more adventurous. This album is a product of their willingness to experiment and do something different, an attempt to incorporate African and Middle Eastern rhythms with Western rock and lyrics inspired by the issues of the day. They never made an album like this again, they moved on, so try not to pigeon-hole their music as typical of Remain In Light. I got to like them from their second album called More Songs About Buildings and Food which is kind of 'new wave' but so much more and ends with a brilliant cover of the Al Green song 'Take Me To The River' and my favourite TH track 'The Big Country' which you both will love. I bought Remain In Light for one track - 'Once In A Lifetime' - bought over the years it has grown on me, especially Side 2 (Tracks 4 - 8). I play that side far more often. I only have it on vinyl. I went back to them for three later albums titled Little Creatures, True Stories and Naked. I think Little Creatures would be a good one for you to try Talking Heads again.

As many people pointed out in previous reactions, this is the 40th anniversary of the iconic Jonathan Demme film Stop Making Sense. That’s why Colbert devoted his whole show to their reunion appearance 2 nights ago. Many people have called it the best concert movie ever made. Maybe seeing that film in its current rerelease (especially in IMAX) is the best way to immerse oneself in this totally unique and groundbreaking band.

Stop Making Sense is a must react to concert film. It needs to be nominated as a choice by someone. There are some great concert films and videos to react to out there that would be great for debates and comments.

I followed Talking Heads from their 1st album and saw them live when they toured their 2nd album. They got more adventurous on their 3rd, which opened with the wonderfully vampy "I Zimbra", so their 4th, Remain In Light, was highly anticipated. My friends and I were getting more interested in "world music", as were artists we liked, (Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon, for example.) I myself had never listened to the album on headphones before now, but rather, loud on the stereo, and often with much movement!! There was a dance studio here in the late '80s that would open for dance nights and we would bring mix tapes with songs for dancing. Mine had "The Great Curve" as well as songs by The Gipsy Kings, and Nigerian artist King Sunny Ade, whose concert in Detroit that I attended had no seats, we just stood and grooved! Peter Gabriel did an album in 2010 called Scratch My Back, where he did covers of artists he admired and they did covers of his music. He covered Talking Heads' "The Listening Wind" from this album, and David Byrne did Peter's "I Don't Remember" from his 3rd album, aka Scratch. Remain In Light was highly influenced by the afrobeat music of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, which mixed West African music with American funk and jazz. His songs were all long jams! The last song has an interesting history. It was Talking Heads' attempt to write a song in the style of the band Joy Division, but only having read about them in music journals- they had never heard their music! That is why it sounds kind of industrial and dirge-like! I suggest putting this album on when you need to get your wiggles out! 🎵❤️🎵 Debbie

Jerry Harrison actually suggested seeing it once in IMAX, and again in a regular theater, where the rows aren't so steep and you could dance!

ProgRockFan

To be honest, this was probably the worst music album I've ever heard. And I also appreciated Nick's comments about it

Stephen Caruso

if you did the David Byrne 1988 salsa album it is terrific

Michele

So happy with your knowledge and passion. Thanks, Debra! I’d only add: the importance of Art & fashion (big suit), theatrics & dance and their live performances as reasons for our love of TH. Also their concert film, Stop Making Sense and David’s Broadway works, American Utopia & Here Lies Love. 🥰💖

Michele

Great comments and info. I’d only add: the importance of Art & fashion (big suit), theatrics & dance, social commentary, world rhythms, and their live performances as reasons for our love of TH. Also their concert film, “Stop Making Sense” and David’s Broadway works, “American Utopia” & “Here Lies Love”. 😽💕 Thanks!

I made it through this barely. I do not want to trash the album ,but I think because right now I am listening to so much progressive rock and progressive metal right now, this album just fell flat for me

Eric Meredith

Right now I am listening to a lot of Gentle Giant and Yes and also alot of newer progressive metal bands. I would never seek out the album. I am still interested in maybe checking out some of their other records.

Franck Thibault

This is defiantly not for me, I still listen to the whole thing...

Franck Thibault

If I want thought provoking bands, I'll listen to Rage Against the Machine...

LOVE this album, though I recognize it’s not for everyone. You did happen to pick the one Talking Heads album where repetitive tape loop experimentation is the entire gimmick, none of their other albums sound all that much like this. Where you find the loops repetitive, I would use the word “hypnotic.” Should you ever decide to listen to more Talking Heads, I recommend their follow up to this one, Speaking in Tongues. Less repetitive (like all of their other stuff), with a heavy focus on synth funk instead of tape loops.
