THE REVIEW
I first had this album on cassette tape. So, it’s clear that I'm a bit old; but what's even more remarkable is that I got it by responding to an ad from a girl in Rockstar who copied the disc onto tape and sent it to me at home for just a few thousand lire. Things like that still happened in the '80s.
Why this review? Because I believe that the music within it is absolutely "unique." In the sense that, beyond the beauty or not of the individual tracks, the incredible musical puzzle that David Byrne and company managed to create has no other examples in musical history.
It's an extraordinary blend of rock, funk, African polyrhythm, and so much more that it can't be anything but recommended to every music lover.

When this came out, it was truly revolutionary!
Remain in Light is to be listened to from start to finish, never randomly; each piece is perfectly linked to the other.
By Mariaelena
Remain in Light is a blend of surrealism in motion, overflowing with the utmost imagination, pure plasmatic schizophrenia.
"I am not crazy, but the others, they are." — Salvador Dalí, perfectly echoing the album's delirious brilliance.
By Emme.
Remain In Light is yet another step forward for the Talking Heads’ sound.
'Once In A Lifetime' appears decidedly more catchy, yet still of excellent quality.

Today I will try to review, in my opinion, the best album by the Talking Heads: "Remain in Light."
"I recommend this album to everyone, especially to those who would like to get to know New Wave, or more generally, the Talking Heads."
By Battlegods
"‘Born Under Punches’ is the archetype of the exciting ‘ethnic rock’ conceived by Byrne and company."
"Belew’s killer solo is the cherry on top… way more than heavy metal!"
