Review by Crijevo Sep 11, 2007

Talking Heads were enigma through most of their fascinating career. It is ungreatful to point out this album, being obvious with anyone's favourite choice from their discography. However, despite their artistic developments before or after, 'Remain in Light' truly REMAINS an all time masterpiece of modern American pop music - something to love America for, indeed. An objective study on multicultural issues and American paranoia ('Listening Wind' is a brilliant view of modern terror).

The album contains eight reasons to love it by, most notably 'Once In a Lifetime' plus ecstatic 'Born Under Punches', 'Crosseyed & Painless' or 'The Great Curve' to name a few. A beautiful 'Seen & Not Seen' predating modern hip-hop beats with bizarre storytelling and absolutely one of the spookiest songs ever written - 'The Overload', sending shivers down the spine...

A record not to be messed - shame on you if it does...
