Reckoning by R.E.M.: Do You Reckon That Reckoning Is A Great Album?

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 14:26:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - While rock and pop contemporaries in the early 1980’s owed a lot to the punk movement and called themselves the New Wave, REM was something entirely different. Their sound was organic and modern yet at the same time comfortable. REM was one of the...

Reckoning by R.E.M.: R.E.M. continues to define 80s underground rock and alternative music with Reckoning

Sat, 4 Oct 2003 09:31:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foxy_shy - When these days I think about R.E.M., I’m surprised at how much I actually don’t care about those huge hits of theirs… almost as much as I love their albums. You think you know the band that sang ‘Shiny Happy People’? Yet you’ve ne...

Reckoning by R.E.M.: Inside Little America

Thu, 13 Feb 2003 15:44:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author frozenweasel - So, after you've made the critically-acclaimed-mystical-cult-classic debut album, what do you do next? Well, as the band themselves seemed to realise, you face a moment of reckoning. REM's second album is noticeably less murky, less mysterious than its...

Reckoning by R.E.M.: Know-It-All Album

Fri, 20 Dec 2002 14:38:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lunchbuddy - REM came out of nowhere in the early 80s, going against the grain, becoming the first "college radio" band. They did it on the strength of word-of-mouth and constant touring. Since then, their popularity has grown and each band member has tried to...

Reckoning by R.E.M.: No R.E.M. fan should be without this

Sun, 17 Mar 2002 04:12:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - R.E.M. truly started to receive some major attention with this, the second full-length release from the band. While 1983's Murmur was a fantastic release, the songs here tend to be more vibrant and, perhaps more importantly, more...

Reckoning by R.E.M.: Splinter In Your Eye

Thu, 19 Jul 2001 12:13:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author saulsbury - I'm a nerd! I'm sitting here at my computer, looking at Dusty's Cow Palace, snapping my fingers to the old R.E.M. song, "Letter Never Sent." Wow, that was a good album.

I miss the '80s. I was "coming of age," early 20s, listening to R.E.M.,...

Reckoning by R.E.M.: R.E.M. Beats The Sophomore Slump

Mon, 21 May 2001 16:45:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 - After the critical and commercially modest success of band’s debut album “Murmur”, R.E.M. were now becoming one of the most promising new groups of the 1980s. When “Rolling Stone” named “Murmur” as the best album of 1983 above the huge-selling...

Reckoning by R.E.M.: Rickenbacker Requiem

Sat, 12 May 2001 18:23:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Tallgent - When you hear about the early days of R.E.M., it has absolutely nothing to do with religion misplacement or universal pain. At one time, they made some of the most influential music in the nation. Even if you couldn’t tell that from the radio.

Reckoning by R.E.M.: An Early Masterpiece - An Essential Recording

Wed, 24 Jan 2001 03:45:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author 4-1-1 - I don’t precisely recall how it all happened, but over time I have added five R.E.M. CDs to my music collection.

I am a fan of R.E.M.’s early work, so not surprisingly -- of the five titles I have in my collection -- my favorite CD is an early...

Reckoning by R.E.M.: Fun, jangly, mysterious

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 18:11:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cosmicben - Every time I listen to a "classic" album (this time purchased for $3 on tape), my perceptions get wildly changed. Which just goes to show you, I should really stay in more. Nothing I'd heard before had prepared me for early-period...
