Ritualistic dance punk
Critics and users say it's impossible to listen to Remain in Light without swaying your hips and getting jiggy with it. This record, unlike any other talking heads album, deeply embraces loops and feels communal. I'd be unsurprised if I didn't hear Born Under Punches when I accidentally walk into a cult wearing disco clothing.

he's fallen off now.
Jesus Christ the amount of interpolation in this record is making me lose faith in opm. Is he trying to be original? I mean I literally hear High and Dry and 1979 just repackaged. The only good thing about this record is that he's finally trying new ways to approach writing music which can be heard on tracks like INAS and the title track.
MATALINO STREET MV IS ACTUALLY PARKLIFE MV. IM LOST, WHAT IS HE TRYING TO BECOME
Light mode Joy Division.
I don't like the way how it sounds so derivative to its influences. Unlike other bands and artists who take their influences from The Smiths, New Order, etc., Zild refuses to expand on the sounds of post-punk. What he's really good at is writing slowcore alt-rock songs. Nevertheless, this record is still worth checking out.

Least Favourite: Oh Lunes Nanaman
With unique back, the band is now back with a more garagey indie sound with a slight dash of the signature CLAPCLAPCLAP! synth pop sounds.
I can hear the production improve, but half of the album still feels hollow, unfurnished as if it lacked musical substance or flavor. I get that some of it is catchy and hooks you with the singles, however it's still a generic synth pop album from the OPM indie scene along with the amount of indie slop being produced.
Hopefully, we get to see more ... read more

First to review this, can say that this is a sleeper album overshadowed by its opening track, Burnout. There are no other OPM albums that sound similar to this masterclass of an album. Other tracks like Hintay and Insomya are hints that this album has hidden gems. Now speaking production-wise, considering it was released in 2003, this album was ahead of its time considering the OPM scene at the time. Now as a debut, it's probably one of the best debuts since Rivermaya's ... read more
