Chronic Town (not really an album, but...)

 

If Chronic Town doesn't count, I'd substitute Life's Rich Pageant.

 

Kinda remember REM but it's been a long, long time...

 

:hmm

"Stand ruins everything else on that record..."

 

I love Stand :wub Green is the only REM album I really like,all the others have a song or two I dislike enough to skip. Some how the darker & more melancholy songs seem to work well with the goofy ones,maybe its just me, it was the first album of theirs I got into back in 88 so maybe that explains it.

"Stand" was the song that turned me on to REM. I remember seeing the video when I was in high school and thinking, "Whoa, REM are really cool!" And so, logically, I went out and bought "Fables of the Reconstruction." I was a weird kid. :punch

 

In retrospect, I think it was the right choice, but there's some good songs on "Green." "Orange Crush" is one of my favorites.

So I decided to give New Adventures another spin, and it was pretty awesome. I don't love it, but I like it, and that is unexpected to say the least.

 

Latest on a new album is that theyre talking about getting back together in the fall or winter. I'm sure we have a while, but if it results in something better than the absurdly insipid Around The Sun, I'll wait.

though if chronic town doesn't count as an album (it's an EP) i would pick dead letter office (which has chronic town on it anyways)

Dead Letter Office doesn't count as an album either. It's a compilation of oddities and B-sides.
