R E M - AROUND THE SUN
R E M "Around the Sun" Album Review
Nice enough, but missing more than just Bill Berry
The album is nice enough, but has the feeling of sameness from song to song. It needs a rocker or two and some of classic R.E.M.'s jangle. 'Leaving New York" and "Electron Blue" are good songs to kick off the album, and the rest of the record is very listenable, but unremarkable and a bit too cohessive. I just listened to it twice and thought it was good, not great, and in the past R.E.M. has been great. Here, they sound a bit tired - competent, but tired.

HOT SNAKES - AUDIT IN PROGRESS
Hot Snakes "Audit in Progress" Album Review
Is this your first time?
Audit in Progress is a great cd it really is but for me when I bought this cd I actually thought it sucked and was pissed that I had purchased it. Automatic Midnight is one of the best cds of all time, every track on that cd is kill. I heard that and immediately ran out to the store in search of it only to find that Audit was the only one they had. I thought Hot Snakes would be Hot Snakes and awesome all around but oh was I wrong. As good as this cd is it's not their best..I didn't like it til I had listened to it through a few times and it finally grew on me. The lyrics don't seem real solid to me, kinda just like they threw em together last minute. The music itself though is top notch. The first half of the cd is great..in fact that's about all I usually listen to. So this one- well if you're a fan already then go for it. If not then you better set this one back on the shelf and grab AM. You won't regret it.
