Our Take

Ah, R.E.M. Reckoning, an album so timeless, it will have you reminiscing about the good old days when Michael Stipe's mumble was the talk of the town. Here we are, transported back to 1984 when mullets were cool and the only thing clouding our minds was the fear of nuclear war.

The jangly guitars, the cryptic lyrics, the infectious melodies - it's all here, folks. From the opening track "Harborcoat" to the hidden gem "Little America," R.E.M. Reckoning is a journey through the minds of a band on the brink of stardom.

Stipe's enigmatic vocals are in top form here, weaving tales of love, loss, and everything in between. It's like he's whispering secrets in your ear, urging you to decode the mystery hidden within each song.

Peter Buck's guitar work shines brightly throughout the album, offering up catchy riffs and jangly hooks that will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head in approval.

But it's not all sunshine and roses here. R.E.M. Reckoning delves into darker territory as well, with tracks like "7 Chinese Bros." and "Pretty Persuasion" exploring themes of isolation and disillusionment.

So, dear reader, if you're looking for a trip down memory lane with a touch of melancholy and a whole lot of toe-tapping goodness, look no further than R.E.M. Reckoning - the album that solidified R.E.M.'s place in the pantheon of indie rock legends.

About the artist

R.E.M.

R.E.M. Formed in Athens, Georgia in 1980, R.E.M. took the alternative rock world by storm with their jangly guitars, enigmatic lyrics, and Michael Stipe's unmistakable vocals. Combining elements of folk, punk, and post-punk, R.E.M. created a sound that was both timeless and ahead of its time. Their 1983 debut album, "Murmur," is widely regarded as a classic of the genre, with songs like "Radio Free Europe" and "Talk About the Passion" showcasing their melodic hooks and introspective lyrics. Over the years, R.E.M. continued to push boundaries and experiment with their sound, incorporating elements of country, folk, and electronic music into their repertoire. Despite their mainstream success, the band always maintained a sense of mystery and aloofness, with Stipe's cryptic lyrics and enigmatic stage presence adding to their mystique. With hits like "Losing My Religion," "Everybody Hurts," and "Man on the Moon," R.E.M. solidified their status as one of the most influential and innovative bands of their era. After more than three decades together, R.E.M. announced their breakup in 2011, leaving behind a legacy of timeless music and a devoted fanbase. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, R.E.M.'s music is sure to leave a lasting impression. So grab your fedora, put on your best flannel shirt, and let yourself be transported to the world of R.E.M. You won't regret it.
