Is shiny happy people better than how soon is now? The REM thread

I tell you what mate … I gave the whole album a listen earlier and off one listen i’d give it a solid 8 … i’ll give it another whirl tomorrow but from the second Harborcoat kicked in I was on board.

It’s a cracker. Reminds me a bit of Sultans of Swing for some reason.

I’m not an rem head but automatic for the people was a great album. They put out great music videos. I really liked drive from it.

Reckoning is a great record, although I prefer Murmur (probably moreso than any other REM album). Reckoning is Stephen Malkmus’s favourite REM album

I think this is the greatest pop video of them all.

Reckoning is easily my favourite REM album

You’ve only listened to two you gobshite.

If I had to pick one desert island REM album it would be Lifes Rich Pageant, every song is a classic.

I never “got” REM

“Cardiac Arrest” is better

It’s a pity the song is pretty meh though.

:roll_eyes:

It’s overplayed if anything. Find the River is far superior from that album, in that vein.

Theyre very serious people these REM lads

Very earnest

Typical @balbec

A few sneaky digs, not obvious.

As if he is the ultimate critic of music.

There’s only one of those.
