Out of Time (Pt. 2)
Manage episode 424022851 series 2762327
The Big Mates discuss illicit apples, ribs, Pearl Jam, and Out of Time 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 seventh studio album, released in 1991. 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 at one of the most omnipresent songs ever featured on the podcast, and they dig into the cultural context, personal relationship, and emotional weight of Losing My Religion. They talk about the aspects of the song that make it an unlikely hit and discuss how it fits into the overall album.
They also speak on the divsive nature of another big single, Shiny Happy People and try to get to grips with how this album slots in with the albums released by the band's contemporaries.
Is Losing My Religion weird? What was everyone else up to in 1991? How far will they get this time? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
Our next episode is out on Monday June 24th and will continue and conclude our analysis of Out of Time.
