ReviewsRanked #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 !!!."
