Out of Time

Out of Time (1991) more music like this

by R.E.M.

In contrast to the directness of Green and Document, this may seem like a return to the abstractness of the early years, but that isn't the case. Out of Time is among R.E.M.'s best work -- a mature, balanced, graceful collection of pop songs quite different from Murmur and Reckoning. Buck, Berry, and Mills switch instruments frequently, keeping ...

New Adventures in Hi-Fi

New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996) more music like this

by R.E.M.

Recorded during and immediately following R.E.M.'s disaster-prone Monster tour, New Adventures in Hi-Fi feels like it was recorded on the road. Not only are all of Michael Stipe's lyrics on the album about moving or travel, the sound is ragged and varied, pieced together from tapes recorded at shows, soundtracks, and studios, giving it a loose, ...

Lifes Rich Pageant

Lifes Rich Pageant (1986) more music like this

by R.E.M.

Fables of the Reconstruction was intentionally murky, and Lifes Rich Pageant was constructed as its polar opposite. Teaming with producer Don Gehman, who previously worked with John Mellencamp, R.E.M. developed their most forceful record to date. Where previous records kept the rhythm section in the background, Pageant emphasizes the beat, and the ...

Murmur

Murmur (1983) more music like this

by R.E.M.

Leaving behind the garagey jangle pop of their first recordings, R.E.M. developed a strangely subdued variation of their trademark sound for their full-length debut album, Murmur. Heightening the enigmatic tendencies of Chronic Town by de-emphasizing the backbeat and accentuating the ambience of the ringing guitar, R.E.M. created a distinctive ...

Fables of the Reconstruction

Fables of the Reconstruction (1985) more music like this

by R.E.M.

For their third album, R.E.M. made a conscious effort to break from the traditions Murmur and Reckoning established, electing to record in England with legendary folk-rock producer Joe Boyd. For a variety of reasons, the sessions were difficult, and that tension is apparent throughout Fables of the Reconstruction. A dark, moody rumination on ...

Jock Jams, Vol. 1

Jock Jams, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Jock Jams includes a full dozen of the best arena rock anthems of all time, including original versions of "Get Ready for This," "Whoomp! (There It Is)," "It Takes Two," "Gonna Make You Sweat," "Pump Up the Volume," "Y.M.C.A.," and "The Power." Unfortunately, the ultimate stadium exciter of all time -- "Jump" by the Movement -- is nowhere to be ...

Automatic for the People

Automatic for the People (1992) more music like this

by R.E.M.

Turning away from the sweet pop of Out of Time, R.E.M. created a haunting, melancholy masterpiece with Automatic for the People. At its core, the album is a collection of folk songs about aging, death, and loss, but the music has a grand, epic sweep provided by layers of lush strings, interweaving acoustic instruments, and shimmering keyboards. ...

Monster

Monster (1994) more music like this

by R.E.M.

Monster is indeed R.E.M.'s long-promised "rock" album; it just doesn't rock in the way one might expect. Instead of R.E.M.'s trademark anthemic bashers, Monster offers a set of murky sludge, powered by the heavily distorted and delayed guitar of Peter Buck. Michael Stipe's vocals have been pushed to the back of the mix, along with Bill Berry's ...

Eponymous

Eponymous (1988) more music like this

by R.E.M.

Basically a singles collection from R.E.M.'s first five albums, Eponymous gives the listener a sense of the band's change from folk-rock to rock. The songs are intelligently selected, distilling most of the best moments from their first five albums for IRS. Included is the original single of "Radio Free Europe," and different mixes of "Gardening ...

Totally Hits, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Totally Hits, Vol. 2 collects more chart-topping singles, including Santana's "Maria Maria," Whitney Houston's "My Love Is Your Love," TLC's "Unpretty," Sugar Ray's "Falls Apart," and Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You." Songs from Missy Elliot, LFO, 'N Sync, Lou Bega, and Christina Aguilera complete this entertaining but somewhat scattered ...

Reckoning (1984) more music like this

by R.E.M.

R.E.M. abandoned the enigmatic post-punk experiments of Murmur for their second album, Reckoning, returning to their garage pop origins instead. Opening with the ringing "Harborcoat," Reckoning runs through a set of ten jangle pop songs that are different not only in sound but in style from the debut. Where Murmur was enigmatic in its sound, ...

Dead Letter Office

Dead Letter Office (1987) more music like this

by R.E.M.

Arriving mere months before Document took the group into the Top Ten, the B-sides and rarities collection Dead Letter Office sums up all of the quirks and idiosyncrasies that made R.E.M. the leading underground guitar pop band of the '80s. While only a handful of songs on Dead Letter Office rank among the group's best, the record is extremely ...

Strange Currencies

Strange Currencies (1995) more music like this

by R.E.M.

A very pretty song about falling in love with more or less the wrong person, but making the best of it. Michael Stipe's vocals are more than usually impassioned for this one, and the music is lovely. Tossed in for good measure are three further tracks from the November 1992 performance for Greenpeace, this time featuring "Drive," a cover of Iggy ...

Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show

Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

David Letterman's The Late Show always had a long tradition of excellent musical performances -- indeed, it's one of the few places on American network television where live music thrives -- so the question that surrounds the 1997 release of Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show isn't why, but why did it take so long? There have been enough ...

It's hardly as if R.E.M.'s glory days of the '80s haven't been compiled before -- just after they left I.R.S. for Warner, the Eponymous collection appeared in 1988, and over the years more collections have appeared in both domestic and foreign markets -- but 2006's And I Feel Fine...: The Best of the I.R.S.

Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye: A Tribute to Roky Erickson

Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye: A Tribute to Roky Erickson (1990) more music like this

by Various Artists

Roky Erickson often seems to be better known in rock circles for his well publicized psychological maladies and his less-than-gentle treatment at the hands of Texas' judicial system than for his music -- and that's a shame. While Roky's habit of informing anyone who asks that he's a Martian or is in contact with Satan makes for good fanzine copy, ...

I'm Your Fan: The Songs of Leonard Cohen By... (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

An incoherent tribute to Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Fan contains some fine versions of some of his best songs, but too often these renditions are half-hearted. Of particular interest are R.E.M.'s "First We'll Take Manhattan" and The Pixies' "I Can't Forget." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

by R.E.M.

R.E.M. began their Warner contract in 1988 as the biggest band to emerge from the college-radio-fueled American underground. Fifteen years later, they released In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003, the first overview of their long stint at Warner Records. During that decade and a half, R.E.M. had a turbulent journey. At the outset, their legend ...

Featuring powerhouse tracks by R.E.M., Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and the Violent Femmes, this album serves as the ultimate introduction to what was popular in the alternative ...
