New Adventures in Hi-Fi (Pt. 3)

The Big Mates discuss heart, fatigue, goodbyes, and New
Adventures in Hi-Fi by R.E.M.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career
and discography of R.E.M. by concluding their analysis of the
band's tenth studio album, released in 1996. They talk about the
writing and recording process, the context surrounding the songs,
and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three
differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis
and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in
between.

They pick up their discussion towards the end of the album and
complete their track-by-track analysis. They then sum up their
feelings on the sprawling record, including scores and
highlights.

They then explore the legacy of the album, how it has aged over
time, and how that compares to the reception of the album when it
was released in 1996.

What do we think of New Adventures in Hi-Fi? What is a
desert? What DID Lucas do on his Bank Holiday? Find out on this
episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out on Monday September 16th and will see us
provide commentary for something, probably.
