Saw Patti Smith in Toronto last week.  Amazingly powerful voice live.  More than I was expecting.

I was never a big R.E.M. fan, but I'm sure enjoying this piece!

New Adventures was a real creeper of an album.  Didn't feel too strongly about it until well after its release but it really is yet another very cool REM album.

That's great except the Chills first album, "Kaleidoscope World" isn't released until 1986, 3 years after "Murmur."

If they kept creating stuff like this they would not have needed to break up...

Hopefully they will get their melody spark back and regroup...

Cool how Patti Smith sings background on this song...  EBow refers to an electromagnetic field-generating device that induces sustained vibration in an electric guitar string...

It will sound like jumping the bandwagon but, really, R.E.M. hasn't since released a single as good as this! *snif* (...but then again they set the bar extremely high here!!!)

Ironically (actually, it makes logical sense, quality doesn't equal sales), it didn't do as well as expected and Warners has since had the choice for R.E.M.'s singles material (while the band had picked them until this one).

Yes, I love this version. The album itself is underrated IMHO. This is the last one before Bill Berry left, then things went downhill until Accelerate.

One of the most neglected albums of the 90s, sadly. Worthy of re-evaluation, naysayers. Unless, of course, you can't get over your "R.E.M. starting sucking after they switched from the I.R.S. label" malady.
 
As I told Keith lately, they never got better than they were on that demo tape they send to a couple of friends and some really cool guys they wanted to impress. I thought that was really promising, but they did not hold up.

It's a pretty strong album. Not as good as Automatic or Out of Time, but good nevertheless.
