Green (Pt. 2)
Manage episode 419159870 series 2762327
The Big Mates discuss bass strings, 8 Mile, Amanda Lynne, and Green 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 sixth studio album, released in 1988. 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 wrap up the track-by-track, exploring each songs place on the album, the variety of styles covered, and the many things Stipe is writing about. They then sum up the album and give it some scores!
They also find time to explore how the album was received at the time it came out and look ahead to the band's world tour in the following year.
What do we make of the album? Do these songs affect you differently as a parent? Will you attend Bangfest? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
Our next episode is out on Monday May 27th and will see us offering audio commentary for Tourfilm.
