The initial single, the spookily obsessive " The One I Love, " was an unexpected Top 10 hit, & its follow-up, the " Subterranean Homesick Blues"-style rant " Its the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine), " became one of R.E.M.s most renowned songs. The first R.E.M. album produced by Scott Litt (soon to be a frequent collaborator) DOCUMENT skillfully blends the commercial gloss of L ...

Singer Michael Stipe finally confesses that even he doesnt know what hes trying to say--among the lines flying by are tryin to tell you something we dont know & theres something going on thats not quite right. But R.E.M.s roar is at its sharpest, as Peter Bucks guitars twist up surf riffs & the Bill Berry-Mike Mills rhythm section captures the force of forebears Big Star & the Byrds.

FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION finds R.E.M.s star rising fast. With major label world domination still comfortably off in the future, the band was still experimenting; their jangly frenetic sound was deepening by fathoms, & Michael Stipes formless rants were solidifying (his diction was improving, too, which only served to clarify his prodigious poetic gift). The album featured some of the groups most solid pop songcraft to date, as well as some pretty heady meandering (" Feeling Gravitys Pul ...

R.E.M. - Fables Of The Re-Construction (EMI Canada)

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 American folk -- not only the music, but its myths -- Fables is creepy, rustic psychedelic folk, filled with eerie sonic textures. Some light breaks through
