Album Review

This is 50% of something. It is Marge’ solo spin-off

Closer to a souvenir of something amazing than something amazing in and of itself

After an Eighties spent as the most critically revered band on the planet, **R.E.M.** finally became global superstars with 1991's Out of Time

This is a movie set, not a bold artistic statement

A downtempo, but not downtrodden slab of noisy, jazzy, shouty fuckery. Sound.

How is it possible for a band like Metallica, with all the resources they have at their disposal, to end up sounding so incredibly weedy?
