Fun Stuff > BAND
Buying REM
E. Spaceman:
Yes, not so much for the extra stuff (a pretty good live show) but forthe vastly improved sound quality.
Orbert:
I never realized how others - or the band itself - felt about "Fables of the Reconstruction". It's my favorite. Maybe because it's so different.
As with most bands, I prefer the older stuff. "Life's Rich Pageant" is also a fave. A mature, established band can often put out masterpieces because they've got it all worked out and are firing on all cylinders. They can also put out tired music that's derivative of their earlier, better material. A young band struggling to establish itself puts passion into its work, and (if they're any good) it shows. They also take more chances, and aren't as formulaic.
"Monster" is not terrible, but about as close as you can get for an R.E.M. record.
E. Spaceman:
You mean "Around the Sun"?
Inlander:
Don't worry Orbert, I totally dig Fables too. I'd certainly listen to it over the much more widely praised Document any day.
E. Spaceman:
I honestly don't think of Green. It took me about 5 minutes to place it in the chronology.
