ALBUMS: Torn Apart (`984)
MVC RATING: 4.0/$$$
I got one album of theirs. Wish I had more after listening to this again after all these years. And this was an EP, which means it was extended past the 45 stage — one and done on side one — but it’s not near as long as most full albums.
Beatlesque is thrown around a lot. So I won’t throw it out there .
I’ve heard the Beatles and these guys from Charlotte, N.C., are no Beatles. But the title song and ‘Now You’re Gone’ get pretty close.
‘Thanks from the band on the back cover to Don Dixon, Mitch Easter and ‘all of REM for hand claps on Maryanne.”
