I had high hopes for Neil Young's latest album produced by Rick Rubin but am undecided as yet. I think Rick may be too much of a fan to ask Neil to wind it in a bit.
Rush were very consistent. Some albums were less likeable for me but still high quality in nearly every way.
If an REM song nobody else loved gives you some pleasure it's done it's job, doesn't matter if the band like it or I like it, if you do, then that's all that should matter to you.
Of course like every rem album, it sold loads, probably loads of people liked it!
I find the idea of objective standards for music to quote a word over used on here recently faintly obscene.
Life is too short and too painful to have to be told what music you can or can't like.
One of my favourite Rem albums is the much derided Up.. I have fond memories of the time around it's release.
Fugazi
Mogwai
The Bronx/Mariachi El Bronx
Jimmy Eat World
The Field
Caspian
Bjork

And of course, Brian Pern.
The only survivors of that first wave of punk bands that are making music now that's as good (better in some cases) than the stuff they put out when they first emerged. The only possible blip I'd concede would be their period circa The First Letter LP (1991) when they lost Gotobed on drums for a while...but even then, I love the "So And Slow It Grows" single from that era.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
If you’re a fan and haven’t heard it, PJ Moore’s recent When A Good Day Comes is worth a listen.
