"no"

C'mon. Up until Seen and Not Seen, every track is perfect. Then Eno has to get his echo-laden fingers over everything.

I would just suggest that you are unable to appreciate atmosphere. Not every track has to be a visceral banger. It makes sense for the progression of the album to have the tracks go from fast and panicked to ethereal and hopeless.

Not necessarily disappointing but certainly lesser

I can appreciate atmosphere, I just don't think Eno's ambient approach really suits the album. That's just personal taste though.

kindly kys

>>70684948
Seen And Not Seen is great though.
The only less than fantastic track on Remain in Light is The Overload imo, but it's stilll good.

>>70685172
(adding to my own post) It took me a while before I started exploring the second side of Remain in Light. it's definitely not as instantly gratifying as the first half, so they stand in contrast with one another.

>>70685085
Yea I don't think Eno did all that much for Talking Heads. Their first album didn't have him and it might be their best.

>>70685346
Never listened to this. Is it good?

>>70685394
first half is good, second half sucks

>>70685394

>>70685394

>>70685394

Only the last two tracks are disappointing though.

>>70685039
I was about to post Moon and Antarctica

>>70685102
But Blast Doors and No Reptiles are best songs

>>70685321
>In Your Room
>Rush
>fucking Higher Love
You're full Of shit

its one of my favorite albums but the second half isnt just as good as the first

>>70685102
but Warm Healer is the best track?

>>70684875

I think the second half is better.

Also, no pic but Tricky's Pre-Millennium Tension. Recently revisited it and it's better than I remembered but man, 5 great songs in a row before Ghetto Youth drags it kicking and screaming into this sort of neurotic, drug-induced haze of fucking weird. Still cool, but not a scratch on those first 5 songs.
