Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a mean average rating of 86.0/100. The trimmed mean (excluding outliers) is 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Once In a Lifetime, That's my favorite track!
Great album!
I love this album. One of the best of 80's.
This is a great album, but I don't think it's their best. Remain In Light seems to be in some sort of sweet spot. In my opinion, it's not experimental enough to be particularly interesting and it's not pop minded enough to be fun to listen to, with Once In a Lifetime being the outlier. I do think the lyrics and songwriting are exceptional, and the performances are air tight, which makes me appreciate it as an album in concept and execution. But I find myself wanting to listen to Fear of Music or Speaking in Tongues rather than this. I will not deny its importance in new wave and music history in general, though.
93/100
Talking Heads nos dejo una de los ejercicios rítmicos más exquisitos que se hayan realizado, en la historia de la música anglosajona de los últimos 40 años.
Immensely creative album. Cutting-edge in 1980, still sounds modern and sells the paranoid atmosphere beautifully today. Those last three tracks though, man. The album opens so strong and has this excellent high energy (Once In A Lifetime and Crosseyed and Painless are particular standouts), but it completely runs out after Houses In Motion. There are three tracks after that and they're okay, still pretty wild, but the momentum completely dies. 8/10 but with an extra .5 because of just how ahead of the curve this one is.
its good but far from great. Very repetitive at times.
Hard to believe this was released almost 40 years ago. Remain in Light is a timeless classic that I always keep coming back to.
Favorite tracks: Born Under Punches, Once in a Lifetime
Sounds modern and timeless every time.
Excellent album. Talking Heads have such a unique sound. David Bryan's vocals and lyrics, as well as the instrumentation provided by the rest of the band, is so weird and quirky that it's just so good.
