163.Fables of the Reconstruction [VINYL] by: REM
January 29, 2001
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Fables of the Reconstruction [VINYL]
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 ... Read More:

166.Fables of the Reconstruction/ by: REM

Music : Fables of the Reconstruction/
This album has three incredible songs on it - Driver 8, Maps and Legends, and Wendell Gee, arguably one of their best songs. A great album for someone who has heard such albums as Automatic for the People already. Pretty good.

167.Monster [CASSETTE] by: REM

Music : Monster [CASSETTE]
I still have vivid memories of the disgust I felt when I put this album on my stereo for the first time. My only prior experience of their vast catalog was Automatic for the People and Out of Time (with AFTP being perhaps my favourite album at that time - perhaps it still is, but I digress), so this disc was a complete shock to me. Its big, fat, distorted bass sounds, jarring, overdriven electric guitar and "treated" vocals were at least a million miles away from the stripped down acoustic perfection of AFTP.
When I spoke with my friends about it, I was unable to put into words just how much I hated everything about the record. However, after a few more listenings, I found that Strange Currencies appeared to have some redeeming qualities... ... Read More:

168.Out of Time [CASSETTE] by: REM

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Music : Out of Time [CASSETTE]
This was the time when the UK stood up and took notice of Athens' finest. Their bravery in issuing a mandolin led first single was regrettably offset by their foray into cheesy pop. 'Shiny Happy People' and 'Radio Song' aside, this is an excellent record that holds songs of great variety and boasts two of the best songs of that particular era in 'Losing My Religion' and a song so personal that Mr Stipe had to perform it with his back to the audience - 'Country Feedback'. They may have been thrust upon the UK market for all the wrong reasons (see cheesy pop reference above), but in this case the end very definitely justified the means.
