R.E.M.
I find that with R.E.M. their songs are either mediocre or absolute bangers. I knew going into this album their were two certified bangers. It's the End of the World As We Know It and The One I Love, with the former being my favourite song by them. I found the first four songs to fall into the mediocre category but starting with the track Strange and, with the song Fireplace, I found the rest of the tracks to be bangers. I was prepared to only give this album only two stars but because of the strong finish I upped it to three stars. I still think that anyone who says the Beatles are boring is probably pretty boring themselves and Michael Stipe has been quoted as saying exactly that. Michael, when yoy make an album as incredible as Sgt. Pepper or Abbey Road, you can talk trash. Until then you should shut up and listen.

This is how all country albums should sound. Five out of five stars. I can't believe I saw some one star reviews for this album.

It took me two listens to really appreciate this album. I was prepared to only give it two and a half or three stars but now I am giving it four stars. I didn't like her voice at first but the second time I listened I had an awakening. I hear shades of Patti Smith and the Pretenders. I even hear echoes of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. The songwriting is very strong and the execution of each song is perfect.

Six out of five stars. Bruce Springsteen's best work ever. The E Street Band are at their peak. I cannot praise this album enough. It helped me through some dark spots in my life. It also holds a special place because it was the album they were touring on the first time I ever saw them. Pure, raw rock and roll at its best. Badlands and Adam Raised a Cain are the standouts. The perfect follow-up to Born To Run. A road map to adulthood.
