04.13.11 | Murmur is their best imo |
Nagrarok
04.13.11 | Murmur, Reckoning and Document are 80's R.E.M. essentials, if you don't want to delve into their early years straight away, go for Document first, which is more accessible. For post-Automatic, New Adventures in Hi-Fi. |
porch
04.13.11 | just go chronologically and get murmur, reckoning, fables and LRP
i'd say document is their weakest album for IRS |
DoubtGin
04.13.11 | yea, get murmur first |
Basman
04.13.11 | i never bought Murmur because i didn't really liked Radio Free Europe. but i might as well check the full album out i guess. |
CrisStyles
04.13.11 | Yeah, you can't judge an album based on one song, I'd go with Murmur. |
Yotimi
04.13.11 | Yeah, Radio Free Europe isn't one of my favorites on that album. Shaking Through and Perfect Circle are where its at |
Basman
04.13.11 | i also wanted to buy Map of the Reconstruction. because i liked every song i heard from that album.
but it doesn't seem to be the most populair album by them. but because i saw it cheap, i might still get it. |

04.13.11 | AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE. |
Basman
04.13.11 | well yeah i already have that one...
it's pretty good. but i would like something more experimental.
and because of that i actually like their newwer stuff a lot. especially New Adventures In HiFi.
but i also like a lot of songs from Up, Reveal and Around the Sun. even though they are hated by a lot. |

04.13.11 | Document |
Basman
04.13.11 | Document seems pretty good from the singles i heard. but isn't it pretty much a rock record? |
MisterTornado
04.13.11 | As far as "experimental" goes, you've hit peak with what you've got. After Document, R.E.M. has been generally a more mainstream sound. |
porch
04.13.11 | this is R.E.M. we're talking about, if you want something particularly weird or challenging you're listening to the wrong band
fables is the quirkiest of their early records though, i like it a lot. and get life's rich pageant before document, they have similar sounds but the songwriting is way better on LRP |
