The Feelies
Crazy Rhythms
The Good Earth
(Bar/None)
These New Jersey rockers are a critical link between the Velvet Underground and R.E.M. Their 1980 debut, Crazy Rhythms, is the undisputed classic, loading up on strum-and-jangle indie-rock that pretty much paved the way for every Amerindie band that made their bones during college rock’s ’80s heyday. The follow-up – 1986’s The Good Earth – deserves to be re-evaluated. The album is more song-oriented than its predecessor, layering actual melodies on top of all the moody textures. These expanded reissues tag on demos and live songs, including Beatles and Neil Young covers. --Michael Gallucci
