I just need to hear Up and Around The Sun and I will officially have finished my R.E.M. discography, not keeping my hopes up though even if Reveal was the only album I didn't care for at all.

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah I'm making my way through the discog as well, was either gonna listen to this or Life's Rich Pageant next, decided to go with the harder listen.

Life's Rich Pageant is excellent dude you'll love it. One of my favorite R.E.M. openers right there.

Album Rating: 3.0

I'll check it after Dandelion dude.

Nice! Cool man, hope you dig both.

Jammed this a few times now, enjoyable if not great. Daysleeper is amazing though.

^^^ You checked Life's Rich Pageant yet? :D

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah man but I need to listen a few more times for it to click, i'd put it with Reckoning at the bottom of the IRS albums at the moment. Murmur, Fables, Document > Reckoning/LRP

Document is probably my least favorite but even that one rules hard. Life's Rich Pageant is one of their best imo.

Album Rating: 3.0

Daysleeper is a damn fine song.

Album Rating: 5.0

One of the only 5s I've awarded. This album hits me hard, and always has. Wish other people could feel it.

Album Rating: 3.5

could have done with some editting but this is pretty great

Album Rating: 4.0

Very underrated album.

If this had been a little more focused and less bloated, it could have been a pretty solid album. Now it's just a lot of muck with some great tracks/ideas spread throughout.

Oh and Lotus is awful.

Album Rating: 3.0

𝐔𝐏 is REM most adventurous album from the 90s. It has a couple of the best songs REM wrote in that decade, but also, a lot of most boring and dull and uninspired ones.



Lucky for me, because the album came out at a time when cassettes were still being copied and my up version ended with "𝘋𝘢𝘺𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳" and that's why it sounded more cohesive to me than it really is.



Side B on the same tape was Pearl Jam's 𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱. It was one of my favorite cassettes. Good times.

Lotus is bad upon first listen



Up to At My Most Beaitiful so far

Album Rating: 4.0

ngl i dig this way more than i thought i was gonna. album rules

Album Rating: 4.0

I love "Hope", "At my most beautiful", "Falls to climb", "Sad professor" and "Walk unafraid". The album's biggest weakness is that its first few songs are mediocre at best. Still, it's their last truly great effort imho.

Album Rating: 4.0

airportman is an ez highlight off this for me. perfect opener for this album those waves of synths are absolutely gorgeous. definitely agree in regards to lotus tho that song is pretty wack and doesnt fit at all here. insta skip



this is prob the last album w any 5/5 r.e.m. songs for me (most notably daysleeper and diminished) but i think accelerate stands with it and beats it out from a consistency standpoint
