thoughts on this? how does it rank within REM's discography?

>>73554970
The best 90s R.E.M. album after Automatic.

Automatic > Murmur > Pageant > Adventures > Fables > Reckoning

Don't go by my ranking because most people will find problems with it

>>73554970
I like the first three tracks, but i cant get through the rest

>>73555210
You're skipping a lot of the best tracks like E-Bow the Letter and Electrolite dude.

Their last good album.

Is every song supposed to sound the same

Not as bad as what came after it but it's still part of the post-AFTP decline.

dean blunt told me its their best

I think the decline happened after AFTP desu. Yes, Monster was a misstep, but R.E.M.'s had missteps between great albums before.

I listened to it for the first time last week.
I don't get it. The songs all sound the same. I liked So fast, so numb and that's pretty much it.

I haven't done any sort of exact calculations, but I operate with a 10% probability for total anilation of all of life on earth. The data is not in yet.

*after Adventures*

>>73554970

better than all the REM albums that came after that, but not as good as most of those that came before (especially AFTP and the IRS stuff)

Murmur > Document > Automatic for the People > Lifes Rich Pageant > Reckoning > Fables of the Reconstruction > Green > Out of Time > New Adventures in Hi-Fi > Monster >>>>> Up > Accelerate > Reveal > Collapse Into Now >>>> Around the Sun

>>73556299
>Document that high
>Out of Time above New Adventures
>Collapse Into Now below Accelerate and Reveal

It's not bad. I'd be lying if I didn't say I listen to leave and then put on dead letter office

Leave and E-Bow the Letter are fucking phenomenal tracks

All around great album even though it's a bit too overlong
