111.Fables of the Reconstruction [VINYL] by: REM January 29, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details
Fables of the Reconstruction of the Fables (to give it its circular title)is possibly the most under-rated of REM albums. Unlike patchy albums like Monster, New Adventures in HIFI & Reveal, every song is sublime. Another plus is the fact that this takes you back to the 80's: no 70 mins of cd to fill up with patchiness (see New Adventures...). So, 11 tracks that make up this beguiling album (though the inner sleeve lists When I Was Young as the second track, this would become I Believe on next album Life's Rich Paegent). For an album that evokes that southern gothic mysterious thing (see William Faulkner-Flannery O'Connor-Carson McCullers), Fables was surprsingly recorded in a miserable London winter by Producer Joe Boyd (Nick ...

112.E-Bow the Letter [CD 2] by: REM September 19, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.28
The single "E-bow the letter" is a classic REM track. A quiet beginning with low strung guitar and very subdued drums. Classically cryptic lyrics that somehow put across a poingient meaning. Stipe's voice never quites croons the song but refrains from the not-quite shouting from other R.E.M. songs. A real gem, with a hint of darker overtones. UP there with their best works.

116.Up [VINYL] by: REM October 26, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
A more ironic album title it would be hard to imagine. 'Up' captures REM at a low ebb, reeling from the sudden departure of drummer Bill Berry after 17 years' service. A documentary made at the time shows the three remaining members tense and tetchy, admitting to "communication issues" with one another. This fraught atmosphere spills over into the music. Edginess and paranoia prevail in this rootless, post-'OK Computer' world. Rarely have Michael Stipe's vocals sounded so dispirited and enervating. It all comes as a big shock after the bright, primary colours rock of 'New Adventures In Hi-Fi.' This being REM though they still manage to mine some magic from the mess. Sonically, it's their most experimental record. The ... Read More:

119.Automatic for the People by: REM October 06, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £10.49
A beautiful record that I never tire of listening to. It has been with me a long time - my favourite record alongside Nirvana Unplugged - and has a terrific soothing quality. The only thing I would question is the inclusion of "Ignoreland" which hints at their later political actions but does little to complement the album's mood of brooding but optimistic introspection. Strangely, perhaps, I'm not a big fan of "Everybody Hurts" either. But the rest of the album is sheer brilliance, and more than the sum of its parts. "Sweetness Follows" and "Nightswimming" in particular are sublime. The band would never be the same after Bill Berry left, witness his input into songs like "Find the River", probably my favourite track of all time.
