The fourth studio album by the American punk band. Following the release of their previous album 'Fear of Music' in 1979, the quartet and Eno sought to dispel notions of the band as a mere vehicle for frontman and lyricist David Byrne. Drawing on the influence of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, the band experimented with African polyrhythms, funk, and electronics, recording instrumental tracks as a series of looping grooves. Features the singles 'Once in a Lifetime' and 'Houses in Motion'.

Ranked #11 Among the 50 Greatest Albums of the '80s., Ranked #68 in Nme's List of the 'greatest Albums of All Time.', Ranked #5 in Q Magazine's "10 Essential Reissues of 2006.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Perhaps the Big Bang of early-'80s culture clash....Byrne and Eno's lyrics explored the acute sense of dislocation at the dawn of the Reagan/Thatcher era.", Ranked #4 in Rolling Stone's '100 Best Albums of the 80s' Survey., 5 stars out of 5 - "...The band no longer sounded twitchy and overcaffeinated; it made music that was confident and fluid. The Heads had already mastered minimalist funk, but here they built jams around thick, slurred rhythms...", Ranked #126 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "A New Wave masterpiece....REMAIN IN LIGHT marked Talking Heads' transformation from avatars of the punk avant-garde to polyrhythmic magicians with hit-single appeal.", Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century, "They Created a Big-Band Sound That Would Later Inspire Outfits like !!!."

Remain in Light was named the best album of 1980 by Sounds, ahead of The Skids' The Absolute Game, and by Melody Maker,[50][51] while The New York Times included it in its unnumbered shortlist of the 10 best records issued that year.[52] It figured highly in other end-of-year best album lists, notably at number two, behind The Clash's London Calling, by Robert Christgau,[53] and at number six by NME.[54] It featured at number three—behind London Calling and Bruce Springsteen's The River—in The Village Voice's 1980 Pazz & Jop critics' poll, which aggregates the votes of hundreds of prominent reviewers.[55] "So they congregated in a Nassau studio with Brian Eno and created a record without precedent ... Both daringly experimental and pop-accessible, Remain in Light may be the Talking Heads' defining moment."[56] —Pitchfork Media's Ryan Schreiber in 2002 In 1989, Rolling Stone named Remain in Light as the fourth best album of the decade.[57] In 1993, it was included at number 11 in NME's list of The 50 Greatest Albums Of The '80s,[58] and at number 68 in the publication's Greatest Albums Of All Time list.[59] In 1997, The Guardian collated worldwide data from renowned critics, artists, and radio DJs, which placed the record at number 43 in the list of the 100 Best Albums Ever.[60] In 1999, it was included as one of Vibe's 100 Essential Albums Of The 20th Century.[61] In 2002, Pitchfork Media featured Remain in Light at number two behind Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation in its Top 100 Albums Of The 1980s list.[56] In 2003, VH1 named the record at number 88 during its 100 Greatest Albums countdown,[62] while Slant included it in its unnumbered shortlist of 50 Essential Pop Albums.[63] Rolling Stone placed it at number 126 in its November 2003 issue of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", higher than three other Talking Heads releases.[13] In 2006, Q ranked Remain in Light at number 27 in its list of the 40 Best Albums of the 80s.[64] In 2012, Slant listed the album at number six on its list of the "Best Albums of the 1980s".[65]Read full review
