Mine too. And it generally gets lost among the rest of the album because those songs are so damn good themselves.stip wrote:that's probably my favorite REM song

Find The River. REM has amazing one-two punches that end some of their albums. Good Advices and Wendell Gee come to mind.

Me too. And it's one of only two songs that I really care about from Document. I wanted to make sure I grabbed it before it they were both gone and I was stuck with picking something I didn't care about from that record.stip wrote:that's still probably a top 3 REM song for me.

^^ You might give Document another spin. It's top shelf REM, front-to-back. Easily one of their best efforts. And the production really holds up. In addition to have killer songs and performances, it's a fantastic sounding record.

Seconded. It's the first record that stands out from top to bottom. I love the bottom half.PryTo wrote:^^ You might give Document another spin. It's top shelf REM, front-to-back.

Pretty Persuasion and Second Guessing really hold it back for me. I think the rest of it is strong. Hell, I took 7CB already.Chris_H_2 wrote:You don't think Reckoning does?Kaius wrote:Seconded.
