R.E.M.
This record centers on intricate synth work and bright, melodic choices. It creates an overall mood that suggests a hazy, late summer day. The band explores a more introspective tone while maintaining a polished presentation throughout the project.
Contrasts exist between the jangly pop songs and the more melancholy tracks. The group shows confidence in this direction by moving away from their previous, grittier style. This collection emphasizes layered arrangements and experimentation.
