R.E.M. Accelerate

Thanks to everyone, béli et brutos. This 'accelerated' disc is good; a worthy test after the last pale 'Reveal' & 'Around the sun': the most guitar-driven in 10 years. But 'Monster' was something else, eh... Tracks I like: 'Houston', 'Hollow man', 'Until the day is done' and 'Man-sized wreath'. 'A Punisher, the dungeons I think are enough (to make the bad guys): for the 1 there's always the new by vascorossi, can't wait.

'Monster' takes this like D'Agostino did that time with Sgarbi, slapping it around.

This is a 4-star 'fixed', Maurizio Mosca with the beige scarf would agree too. Varied & moody, favorite tracks: 'Trophy', 'Hybrid', 'Christine', and 'Desert kisses'.

But it’s the cover of Baustelle in reverse! Italian copycats.

Good job, Lux, you’re right. And Ron Dennis has always been a pain in my ass.

Great return R.E.M. Rating 3.5. -Coming soon my review on 'Accelerate': I wanted to be el primero, maybe I didn't accelerate enough.

Among the reviewers to study for the new generation, I also recommend MiciaTigre, Ihsahn, and the splendid Il_Paolo (whose testicles should find a place in the textbooks of middle schools, much more than Manzoni..).

Let's also put on 'The Head On the Door', one of the most underrated albums of '85 (along with 'Fables Of The Reconstruction' by R.E.M., 'Meat Is Murder' by The Smiths, and 'Around The World In A Day' by Prìnz).

I wrote 'elucubrazioni-scaruffie' not 'la pensi como Dio Scaruffi about Pietre'. I read well what you write, and I notice an air of superiority towards Mick’s chicken-like behavior… I’m sorry, lux, but I don’t much like that. It is well known that the VU were the germ of no-wave & avant-garde in NYC (filthy & 'alien' in the cloying Flower Power of the time); I just wanted to point out that Rolling & Velvet have undeniable points in common (like the recycling of Blues ancestors, especially in 'The Gift' that you often mention, or a pronounced 'anti-bourgeois' attitude). And I find more punk spirit in the Stones when they perform 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' on stage in '69 rather than in the commercial tricks of a Malcolm McLaren.
