I’m not even through Neil yet, and already feeling the pull of an REM challenge.tree_ wrote:Never got into REM... never appealed to me

Agreed. See, Joe, we do have common ground.durdencommatyler wrote:For me it's not even close. Hi-Fi is a tier above everything else they've done. It's the single REM album that I listen to from beginning to end with any regularity and the one I find myself craving. And the only one I've ever found myself wanting to listen to on repeat. The only one where I've put on that record and not listened to anything else for weeks. If all of REM's catalog except for Hi-Fi was somehow erased from existence, it would suck, but I could live with it.liebzz wrote:HiFi is my favorite also, but I would agree far and away is a stretch. I can see legit arguments for a lot of the albums- Automatic for the People, and Document are really stunningly good at what they do. Green, Monster, and Accelerate rock, Murmur is a brilliant opening statement from them. The list goes on.
The next tier (Automatic, LRP, Monster, Collapse) for me is much, much closer.
p.s. I love your next tier too. We must have the same taste in REM.

The new mix of Kenneth sounds pretty cool. That weird guitar sound in the chorus is gone.

I should have pre ordered from Amazon last night. It was listed 10 dollars cheaper. The bundles on REM HQ are too rich for my blood but I would totally wear those Monster socks.

I was at the first of two shows in Rome in February of 1995, with Grant Lee Buffalo opening. It was a surreal show (the power went out twice). The second time I saw them on the Monster tour was this Rosemont show, which had an entirely different feel. But the one thing I remember from it was Me In Honey. So, so good.

Not sure. I guess i appreciate more the loudness, the guitar, the psychedelic elements of the songs. Also, im more relaxed to them jamming and doing experiments i guess than back in the day.durdencommatyler wrote:What changed for you?VinylGuy wrote:Great news!!

Im really exited about Scott Litt´s new mix too.
