This is a link post REM: Losing My Religion "un-minored"
Vimeo link, very odd on first listen - but worth it.

This is a normal post It's been 'Jollyfied' ... different :)
Just hope it isn't done to 'Unfinished Sympathy' somewhere

Edit: the Metallica one feels just wrong vimeo.com/24938649

This is a normal post Yeah...
...I wasnt sure to post REM or Metallica. Hope this guy does some more, very interesting. "Gimme Shelter" would be good to hear.

This is a normal post Gosh, I like but I don't, if you know what I mean.
Now it sounds like something released by Olly Murs. And that's not a good thing.

This is a normal post *whispers* I quite like that.
I wonder if that was done with the latest version of Melodyne, which can pull individual notes out of chords.

I think I prefer that version, TBH. Less dirgey.

This single/album was the beginning of the descent for REM though, sadly.

This is a normal post I disagree with the descent of REM point.
Murmur is indubitably great, as is Document and bits of Life's Rich Pageant. But Fables of the Reconstruction is a bit pants. Meanwhile, while Around the Sun is pretty dire, Up is massively underrated, as is New Adventures; and the final two albums were superb.

This is a normal post I agree with you on the early stuff
Found Up very weak though and sort of gave up on them at that point.

I think other than Murmur, they've never made an album that was great from start to finish, although New Adventures in Hi Fi came closest.

agree that they lack a single 'great' album. I stopped even giving them the time of day once a friend played me 'Monster'.

This is a normal post ^this
Murmur and Chronic Town for me - I can't think of any other veteran bands whose first album is the best

This is a normal post That's...
...just...weird...

It would be better to do it the other way around, turning happy pop songs in to nihilistic dirges.

Edit: Hahaha! The Riders On The Storm one is fucking hilarious! 'Killer on the road' doo dee doo dee doo dee doo. It's just so inanely happy...

Edit edit: The Django Reinhardt one is pretty good. Doesn't come off too saccharine.

This is a normal post Awesome. I like it.
It also means that there's still hope for the vast majority of emo.
