paranoid randroid posted:i remember peter buck saying in some liner notes somewhere that he'd been playing orange crush for like 5 years and still had no idea what the gently caress it meant Pretty much every REM song is better when you don't know the meaning. You can't distinguish the songs that are supposed to be about vietnam or the '88 presidential election from the pure stream of consciousness rambling without a guidebook anyways.

Benedick Cuckold posted:surely you exaggerate. they only had one terrible album and even that had a good song on it Reveal is crap, Around the Sun is even worse. They're both completely boring. Somehow Reveal has acquired some sort of prestige as being underrated. "This album wasn't actually worse than cancer", ok then. Accelerate and Collapse are ok, but in a lot of ways sound like a really good REM cover band. They're short and full of constant-sound type songs, very claustrophobic. REM is better with a less is more type sound, but whatever they're good to throw in the car while driving.
