Member CD Reviews Robert W. from LEESVILLE, SC Reviewed on 3/27/2011... Great CD from r.e.m.'s early days. Takes me back to a simpler time.
CD ReviewsGreat Chemistry, Great Album Maggie Mae | Reno, Nevada | 04/22/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album was another great release in the same style as Murmur. R.E.M. at this point had established themselves in the music circuit with their jangly Rickenbacher guitars along with singer Michael Stipes' sweet, yet slightly muffled vocals. Not to forget the other members who make R.E.M.-Billy Berry with his hard hitting sturdy drumming amd the melodic bass of Mike Mills. This release is a bit tighter and stronger than their first as heard on "Harbercoat" and "7 Chinese Bros.", because of it's overall meatier rhythm. Then it has "So. Central Rain", a mournful moody ballad about a love lost. which we all have experienced. The song "Pretty Persuasion" delivers in a big, hard hitting way as a perfect rock song. Overall the band still doesn't disappoint, with each song on this album proving their great chemistry and excellent songwriting abilities." Don't waste another year Tim Brough | Springfield, PA United States | 11/22/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "The second album from R.E.M.'s IRS years was a logical step forward from the stunning Murmur. Touring incessantly had stripped the band of some of their murky atmospherics, towards a cleaner sound. Not like Michael Stipe was becoming Paul McCartney; the vocals were still often undecipherable. But Peter Buck had become an inauspicious Guitar God, making his Rickenbacker ring like vintage Roger McGuinn. There are moments on "Reckoning" that sounds like they were time-ported from 1967 ("Camera" "Time After Time").
R.E.M. had not yet found their inner-rockstars, so the ambiguous sounds and easy pace was still here. "Seven Chinese Brothers" and "Don't Go Back To Rockville" find the band flirting with alt-country, while "Little America" offers a preview of more rocking songs to come. This is also the "garagiest" of R.E.M.'s early albums, as the follow-up's, Fables of the Reconstruction and Lifes Rich Pageant, began moving into darker territory. "Reckoning" is not the stone classic that "Murmur" is, but it ranks up their with the best work the band has done." |
