The discography of R.E.M. can be easily divided in three parts (with 5 albums each): a) the indie period, the I.R.S. years, when they defined the sound of the Amerindie nation, b) the breakthrough period, the Warner years, when they managed to be acclaimed by both critics and audience and c) the fin...

I'm so sorry, Brad, I wanted to write something for semifinals (like I usually do) but I haven't found the time to do it during the weekend. I'll try to write something for the final instead but I'm not sure if I could (I'm writing a chapter in a book about ophthalmology right now). Anyway these are...

You're clearly a huge fan. I see lots of obscurities on here. I'm guessing you have the "Living Doll" flexi-disc. 😛 Thank you, Father2TheMan! Well, count me as a huge fan, of course! And I don't have that flexi-disc, no :D. But, of course, I've listened to the song in YouTube . P.S. for the not-as-...

Excellent reviews, Rob! Great idea for a thread, I'll be reading every word of it. About "Loveless" I always thought that it was a "love or hate" thing (count me as part of the not-exactly-hate-but-really-don't-enjoy group), but looking at the RYM rating distribution you can see that, at least among...
