R.E.M.: Around the Sun
11 nov 14
The only imperfect album of a career that has been perfectly, well, perfect; released in 2004, after over a year of work, it opens with the beautiful melancholic ballad "Leaving New York," an unconditional love declaration from the band towards the Big Apple. Then I just need to quote a phrase from Peter Buck: "At times the album is unbearable, because it sounds for what it is; a group of people so bored with the material that they can't take it anymore." It is the thirteenth album.

    I also remember Make It All Ok as a nice, romantic piano ballad (perhaps too similar to Nightswimming, which of course was something else) the rest, in fact, apart from the opener, is quite lackluster. And to think that the only time I saw them live was for the tour of this album... well, it was a magnificent show anyway.

R.E.M.: Automatic for the People
11 may 14
After the worldwide success of "Out Of Time," R.E.M. decided not to do promotional tours for the album, and the following year, in 1992, another album was already released. This work almost entirely abandons the electric component, featuring a series of songs where acoustic intimacy becomes the common thread: from the initially calm "Drive" to the ballad with enveloping orchestral embellishments of "Everybody Hurts," and finally arriving at one of the band's most beautiful pieces, "Man Of The Moon."
  • hellraiser

    I like it much more than Out of Time, you’ve already explained everything perfectly, I would just add one song, "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite". Perhaps the masterpiece of the '90s...
  • De...Marga...
    11 may 14
    It's an album I adore, just like the entire discography of R.E.M. I listened to it again this morning and it was quite logical for me to define the album; a band that has always shown a decision-making independence with few precedents, consistently releasing albums of great depth. Truly out of time.
  • AxelZed

    You’ve picked one of my favorite albums. I feel it’s almost like a calm and serene inner journey, searching for one’s saints and demons. I like to think that Stipe wanted to conceive Automatic this way, and I’d say he succeeded fully. I want to remember one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, and it’s featured in this wonderful LP: Find the River, an acoustic ballad with truly heartfelt and moving lyrics (Mills’ backing vocals are always stunning, but in this piece they completely captivate you!).

    I R.E.M. don't attract me at all, although I respect them (especially because they retired in time, avoiding becoming a parody of themselves). "Everybody Hurts" is objectively a beautiful song.

With their fifth work, the last for the I.R.S. record label, the boys from Athens reach one of their absolute masterpieces; a rock album of unparalleled quality, with all the characteristics of a sound and a voice that brush against perfection. From the opening track "Finest Worksong", through the segments of "Exhuming McCarthy" and finally arriving at the true anthem of "The One I Love"; not to mention the cover of "Strange" by the seminal Wire. A perfect ten, at least for me.

    I am only responding now to everyone; I see that you rightly appreciate an important record for the band of Stipe, Buck, etc. The album mentioned by madcat is another masterpiece in their discography, but personally, I am more attached to Document for a simple reason: I discovered the group precisely because of that album. Alegar and thank you for stopping by.

First album of the band for a major label, Warner Bros., released in the music market in November 1988; the sixth record of the quartet in five years. It falls to the sinuous "Pop Song 89," something about the title suggests a light vibe, kicking off another perfect album. The unplugged acoustic of "You Are The Everything" then gives way to the Rock assaults of "Orange Crush" and "I Remember California," not forgetting the dark "Turn You Inside Out," which reminds me of the Cult...IT'S OK...
  • Psychopathia
    4 nov 14
    Light and different, this album is perhaps the only one I truly like of theirs (I miss listening to a couple of titles from the '80s). There would be a nice deluxe version with a concert on the second CD. It would be worth having...
  • De...Marga...
    4 nov 14
    Document, from a previous year, and Green were the two albums that, towards the end of the eighties, introduced me to the sound of the guys from Athens; an album I’m very attached to for this reason as well. What albums don't you know, Psycho, from the eighties? Hi.

    I don't know reckoning at all (is that what it’s called?) fables... and life's rich pageant. The '90s are a bit up and down for me, and I prefer automatic for the people to out of time (which I have on vinyl), for example. Oh, another one I miss is up, but I don't even know why; maybe I was more into other music when it came out.
  • De...Marga...
    4 nov 14
    ...Wow...You're really missing out on three great albums from the band in the eighties; so if you want some advice, get "Life's Rich Pageant," which has an absolutely amazing opening!!! I'm referring to the "hard" "Begin The Begin": beautiful album, and I won't say more...In my opinion, you can find it at a bargain price.

R.E.M.: Out of Time

On March 12, 1991, the boys from Athens released one of their most well-known albums, which definitively thrust them into the global spotlight; it is the skilled hands of Scott Litt that guide and assist the band in the production of a work that will sell millions of copies. The album transitions from the festive and danceable tracks "Losing my Religion," "Near Wild Heaven," and "Shiny Happy People" to the depth and calmness of "Low" and "Country Feedback." Never was an album title more truthful...

    It's certainly not my favorite work by R.E.M., that would be Document, but I've always considered it a more than good album, precisely for its completeness, ranging from moments of pure joy to songs that are almost dramatic in their progression. I saw them in 1995 for the Monster tour at the Forum di Assago: I managed to do stage diving thanks to a friend throwing me over the crowd. I remember very well that I was wearing a Godflesh t-shirt... couldn't be more eclectic than that!!! Hi, it's always a pleasure to talk to you about Music.

Wow, what an album!! A true declaration of intent from R.E.M. or rather a "call to arms" for the entire emerging American Indie-College Rock scene to follow. I could mention all twelve memorable tracks of an album that opens with the rocky, powerful riff of "Begin The Begin"; the bold exuberance of "These Days" and "Hyena", the acoustic ballad of the brief "Swan Swan H", the sacred brightness of "Cuyahoga". And what can I say about the absolute perfection of the single "Fall On Me"!!! The masterpiece of the band from Athens' youthful phase... The Flowers Of Guatemala...

R.E.M.: New Adventures in Hi-Fi
30 oct 14
Released in 1996, the tenth album in the career of the Athens band, composed mostly on the road during concert tours: on the road indeed. It is the collected and simple notes of "How The West Was Won..." that kick off an album rich in those ballads that have always been a hallmark of R.E.M.; it’s impossible not to feel a genuine emotion in the track "E-Bow The Letter," with that vocal duet between Michael and Patti Smith that captivates, simply...OUTSTANDING...
  • madcat
    30 oct 14
    ballads, yes, but also beautiful rock pieces, the album that unites the two souls of the band, the electro-acoustic side of Automatic for the People, Green, Out of Time and the more electric side of Life's Rich Pageant, Document, or Monster.
  • De...Marga...
    30 oct 14
    In my opinion, the band's latest masterpiece; there will still be five more albums after this, all valid except for "Around The Sun," but none will reach such adamantine heights; and it's also the last album recorded with Bill Berry on drums, who will soon have to leave the group due to serious health issues.
  • madcat
    30 oct 14
    I find "Reveal," "Accelerate," and "Collapse into Now" to be excellent albums, each in their own way. As for "Up," I don't know, it's boring, I can't really judge it since I've listened to it so little. "Around the Sun" is simply bad, pointless, dull, uninspired, it really has it all. :)
  • De...Marga...
    30 oct 14
    I completely agree with what you assert; "Up" remains a challenging album: long, the first without the essential presence of Bill Berry, experimental in some successful electronic inserts. With some songs that I think are among the best by R.E.M., like the lesser-known "Diminished," which is an intense ballad that moves sinuously, with that typical mood of the band; Michael's voice is effective and penetrating. It's an enveloping, warm track, with wonderful instrumental passages. Listen to it, and I'm sure you'll find it appealing just the right amount.

R.E.M.: Collapse Into Now
12 nov 14
March 2011; the band from Athens releases their fifteenth album, the last of a formidable career, which I believe is astonishing from a musical quality standpoint. A short record, barely surpassing forty minutes, that adds nothing to a story that began thirty years earlier with a concert in a deconsecrated church in their city. One track stands out above the others for its beauty: "Oh My Heart," with its folk-bucolic rhythm, and a vocal chorus that, for one last time, penetrates...into the heart...
  • madcat
    12 nov 14
    What a great final album this is! I listened to it for the first time in the car while I had to go outside Rome for work, one afternoon. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but it surprised me positively. Among the post-new adventures, I place this right after "Reveal," just slightly below "Accelerate."
  • De...Marga...
    12 nov 14
    It's the classic album I was waiting for, three years after that unexpected jolt that was "Accelerate"; with the news, just a few months after the album's release, that traumatized me; but I think they did very well to end their career after a successful album. And I doubt they will go back on their steps. Hi madcat, it's always interesting to chat with you.
  • madcat
    12 nov 14
    For me too (Creuza) De Ma, it’s always very interesting and stimulating to chat with you :) Regarding R.E.M., it’s true, they did really well to split up. I think of my Blur, who haven’t released a new album since 2003 and have already stated that IF and when they do, it will still be their last album. I truly appreciate this ethic in music.
  • De...Marga...
    12 nov 14
    Speaking of a possible return of Blur, even though I don't know if all of this will happen: can you imagine a joint review of ours!!!! I would take care of the band's history, the recordings, the cover: in other words, the background where I do quite well; while you, knowing the band wonderfully better than I do, would focus your writing, in depth, on the songs. A show, I’m ready to bet on it.
  • madcat
    12 nov 14
    Cool :)! Too bad I think for now they’ve put it on the back burner (Albarn’s solo album came out a few months ago and the next one on schedule is Coxon’s new one), as I’ve already written elsewhere, from last year’s sessions they came up with 15 new tracks, but they’ve already said that doesn’t mean they have a new album ready (usually they record at least double that and then whittle it down, leaving a lot of material for the b-sides).
  • De...Marga...
    12 nov 14
    madcat, if you feel like it, I would absolutely love a collaboration with you; I consider you one of the best colleagues to talk about Music with, regardless of genres (except maybe the most extreme Metal, which I adore). And as I've mentioned to you several times, you always have that polite tone that I prefer. Let’s think about it calmly, without rushing; I would be fine with an album, an author, or a band chosen by you, in accordance with my knowledge. What do you think?

  • pozzo
    13 nov 14
    It's not a bad album, for heaven's sake... the fact is that it just never really grabbed me. The best tracks, in my opinion, are the last two, and if Me, Marlon Brando etc. is too close to the acoustic sounds of Automatic, Blue is strangely too reminiscent of E-bow The Letter (which is, however, a masterpiece of a song). Frankly, it left a bitter taste in my mouth, and I was sorry I couldn't appreciate what was essentially their last work. Prefacing that I don't know Accelerate very well, for me, R.E.M. (at least the R.E.M. that I loved) ends with Leaving NY and a little something from that sadly underrated and crucified Around The Sun.
  • madcat
    13 nov 14
    Look, well, in the following two years it picked up greatly, at least for me, around the sun is one of those albums that is pretty indefensible, a bit like a momentary lapse of reason by Pink Floyd, a few missteps, but luckily unique, in an always good/excellent journey.

The penultimate album by R.E.M. before the conclusion of a career that borders on perfection; it’s a short album in duration, fast, direct like it hasn't been since the days of "Monster." Irresistible guitar riffs in their simplicity, like in the opening track "Living Well Is The Best Revenge;" but it’s the epic depth of the title track that rises above all the other songs, with a final chorus where Michael's voice scratches once again...COME BACK TO PAST...

    Hi Silas; I only agree with you on "Around The Sun"; however, I really liked "Reveal" when it came out, and I still find it interesting today. "Accelerate" is a nice burst of vitality, which perhaps wasn't something one could expect from a seasoned band like R.E.M.
  • SilasLang
    3 nov 14
    hahaha, yes, I think we talked about 'Reveal' before...never liked it. I stop at 'Up', a good album but already somewhat uncertain for me, while I consider 'New Adventures In Hi-Fi' the last great masterpiece of the Georgians...
  • De...Marga...
    3 nov 14
    As always happens in these situations of differing opinions, I have a theory that you already know: I prefer your "review" of an album coming from someone who knows very well the history and music of the R.E.M., compared to young writers who have listened very little, if at all, to the band but are ready to pass judgments that don't even deserve a response... And I'm sure that to someone, without naming names, their ears will ring for a long time...
  • madcat

    It's quite strange to see reveal and around the sun side by side; I mean, there's really no comparison in every sense.
  • De...Marga...
    3 nov 14
    @madcat: I completely agree with you. We have already discussed Reveal recently in one of my listens, while there is very little to discuss about the subsequent Around the Sun. In my opinion, it's the only misstep by R.E.M. in their long career.

We are in 1997, but the band is already projecting itself into the future and the new millennium; a future that will later lead them to the surprising and groundbreaking "Kid A" and "Amnesiac." But let's focus on the third album of the English band, which is also not an easy listen, starting from the mysterious cover; a masterpiece, with all twelve songs of remarkable value. My favorite has remained, since the very first listens, "No Surprises," a sweet and fairytale-like ballad that stands out for its simple yet undeniably effective melody...LUCKY.

"Don't worry about me," Joey titled his first and only solo album, released a year after his death. Defeated by a cancer he fought for a long time without hope; an album that has always brought me joy while listening, despite knowing the human story of the voice of the RAMONES. I have an unbreakable emotional bond to all the Punk Brothers, but Joey will always be my favorite, for his immense desire to live... WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD...

And they do it with an album of immeasurable importance, simple, straightforward, played with minimal technique; songs that have forever marked my love and total devotion to the Ramones...An assault with two-minute tracks: "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Beat On The Brat," "Judy Is A PUNK"....pure and simple legend.

    The word "end" doesn't quite fit the Ramones: every time I put on one of their records or pick up the guitar, possessed by power chord frenzies, it’s like starting the Story all over again. And you, dear De...Marga..., always suggest a record to dust off: tonight it's this one. Thank you!

    You have already said everything about them; I want to add that they had the "courage" to close when they still had something to say and to give (despite Joey's health), leaving us with a high-quality album. Many bands could learn something from them.

The live performance par excellence of all punk: 28 songs in just under an hour. My eternal respect for Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, Tommy, Marky, CJ, Richie....Gabba Gabba Hey.

    I have to be the first to comment, or rather to add another name. In fact, for just two concerts in 1987, Elvis, whose real name was Clement Bozewski, sat behind the drums... the eighth Ramone brother.

    Perhaps my favorite punk band, right after come The Clash. I have the album, pure energy...

    You know Hell, my age has allowed me to see the big brothers live three times... I won't tell you what I managed to pull off in my reckless dances, participating with that healthy fun that were the Ramones concerts. A dear friend of mine had seen them I don't know how many times, earning from us the nickname of "ninth Ramone brother"... This is not history, we've already gone beyond.... L E G E N D A R Y.

Rollins Band: The End of Silence

Hardcore that turns into post, mixing with hard rock and heavy, in a sound that in the longer tracks overflows into psychedelia; with Henry's voice that gets into your ears and doesn't want to leave you anymore... a force of nature, seasoned with a devastating charge of energy. 1992 Palatrussardi Milan... they opened for the Red Hot... maximum intensity, savage pogo. I made it through this test unharmed... but it was tough. The end not only of silence.

    It seems interesting.

    If you don't know it, rush to remedy this lack. A complex album, not easy to listen to with tracks that exceed ten minutes in length, musically powerful... and then the voice, that voice of Henry: a high-potential bomb ready to explode and cause damage... Great times, great music.
