What Is Music?: A Music Podcast About Arctic Monkeys 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.
