ok it's official Jonah has no soul.

It was always suspected, to be fair..

 

[Moods For Mallards]

You will eat your words.

I got the deluxe edition of this in the midst of theoretical REM enthusiasm stoked by username:Bonsai Superstar, REM die-hard.
It's got the few classics, but some pretty shit cheesy moments. It immediately dampended my enthusiasm to 'get back into' REM.

I dont think michael stipe should be allowed to decide who has a soul or not. one mans REM is another mans oasis.

I'm listening to the latest record. It's decent. I prefer already to the last two records.

 

[MilanPan!c]

Everything up to and including Green is classic. (Almost) everything else is pretty unlistenable.

 

[mel gibson]

new adventures in Hi-Fi for me is their best record

 

[hugh]

I went on an REM binge the other day. Still like Life's Rich Pageant the best I think.

Funny. I just watch their interview on CBS last night and they were all unified about how they'd never play together again.
Lovely to see.
His voice sounds ropey enough.

I think his voice very much sounds it’s age, for better or worse.

Was a huge fan back in the day. Probably mainly because their concert at Sloane was the first big gig I ever went to. Haven’t listened to them in years but they had some amazing stuff

I've seen REM a few times but I don't recall ever thinking any of the gigs being that great. I certainly wasn't ever blown away by them. Maybe I tapped in too late.

1. Murmur 2. Life’s Rich Pageant 3. Fables 4. Reckoning (since you were asking)

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Great songwriters, but hit and miss after automatic for the people.

Favourite album? I actually find myself going back to Document a fair bit.
