New Adventures in Hi-Fi (Pt. 1)

The Big Mates discuss rodents, ticket prices, religious imagery,
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 starting 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 discuss how the novel writing and recording process affects
the feel of the record, whether or not the record is a good
length, and the various things the bands are pulling from in
order to create the album.

They also touch on the themes and the artwork, exploring how they
all weave into the album.

Which album comes after the 9th album? How did they follow up
Monster? What is a truck stop? Find out on this episode of
What Is Music?

Our next episode is out on Monday September 2nd and will continue
our analysis of New Adventures in Hi-Fi.
