 | Description: | "Murmur", ein Album mit einem Sound, der damals neu war und die ruhigere, introvertierte Seite der ersten Welle des Alternative Rock charakterisierte.
Für ihr Debütalbum entwickelten R.E.M. eine seltsam gedämpfte Variante ihres charakteristischen Sounds, der auf unheimliche Weise ewig klingt, so als hätte er schon immer existiert. Ob es die ausgeklügelten Riffs von "Pilgrimage", das melancholische "Talk About the Passion" oder die sich windenden Gitarren und Piano Sounds von "Perfect Circle" sind.
Die Individualität liegt in der atmosphärischen Produktion, die ein distanziertes Gefühl des Mysteriösen ausstrahlt, aber sie kommt auch durch das bizarr talentierte Songwriting. Die krakeligen Gitarrenlinien in "Catapult", die mit einer charmant punkigen Schrägheit und leicht düsteren Melancholie vorgetragen werden, scheinen anzudeuten, dass die Dinge in der Vergangenheit nicht so einfach oder unschuldig waren, wie sie schienen.
Dieses Album zu hören ist geradezu lebensbejahend! - INCL. 4 BONUS TRACKS"Murmur," an album with a sound that was new at the time, and characterized the quieter, introverted side of the first wave of alternative rock. R.E.M. developed a strangely subdued variation of their trademark sound for their full-length debut album, one that sounds uncannily eternal and as if it has existed forever. Whether it's the measured riffs of "Pilgrimage," the melancholic "Talk About the Passion," or the winding guitars and pianos of "Perfect Circle." The individuality lies in the atmospheric production, which radiates a detached sense of mystery, but it also comes from the bizarrely talented songwriting. The spidery guitar lines on "Catapult," performed with a charmingly punky weirdness and slightly sinister melancholy, seem to suggest that things in the past were not as simple or innocent as they seemed.
