LouieB Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Chronic Town is pretty cool. A young band getting its sea legs...I always liked it alot. Tales is also good. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Chronic Town is BRILLIANT. I left it out as it's not an "LP". Green is very nice pop album.....I love, love, love World Leader Pretend. And Up is written off by some....though I think unfairly. The songs are a little all over the place...and it somehow lacks the overall magical feel other R.E.M. albums, but in the context of Berry leaving and Stipe thinking it would be the band's last album, its many great quirks hold it together.

Analogman Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have an original cassette of Chronic Town. As I have said before, there are some great songs on all of their albums - and some rather crappy ones - Shiny Happy People? Yuck! For instance - I also rather like Fables of The Reconstruction - the song Good Advices comes to mind - great chorus - but the song sounds out of synce or some such thing.

jakobnicholas Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Tough crowd. Just curious.... What other bands fall in the "good" category? How many bands (Beatles and Stones excluded) could be called "great"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Just curious....What other bands fall in the "good" category?I'm not sure anyone has enough time to list all the "good" bands. Besides, it's much more fun to list the ones that suck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
