"Seeing the patchy Remain In Light album rated head and shoulders above this stunner leaves me puzzled and scratching my head."

"It's weird to see what people think of certain songs on an album sometimes on this site. But it's also very interesting. I think the album starts out really strong with the first two tracks (I Zimbra and Mind). Then the middle section of the album (Cities, Life During Wartime, Memories Can't Wait) was harder for me to grab onto, which is odd because everyone else seems to love that section. Then I thought 'Air' and 'Heaven' are both great. And the album closes with probably my favorite song of the bunch, 'Drugs'. If I get into the middle section more this would be a killer album for me, which is why I'm going to give it some more listens to no doubt. The only song here I actually disliked was 'Electric Guitar', it's just some of the songs fell a bit flat for me. I still think this is a must listen for Talking Heads newcomers."
