Initial Impressions of the Music

In this chapter, they discuss their initial impressions of the music and the era it sounds like. They mention that it doesn't sound like classic 70s rock or 80s rock, but has a timeless feel reminiscent of music from the 60s. They also mention that the album sounds darker and softer compared to their previous EP, with a tinge of sadness and a slower, softer sound. They note that despite the differences, the album still sounds like REM, with similarities in drum patterns, vocal inflections, and jangly guitars. They also mention that while many songs on the album sound similar, the highlights are when it strays away from that sound.
