REM - MURMUR - It grabs me with an immediacy and urgency. It is melodic, but not simplistic (e.g., there are occasional minor key turns that suggest a sense of menace). The album is pretty damn consistent too. The only dog is “West of the Fields”. The standout is “Radio Free Europe”, but (with the exception of Fields), the other songs are just about as good. While high quality and consistent, there isn’t much variety. The songs are not very distinct from one another. Nice clean sound - particularly love the guitar in “Pilgrimage”. The performances are very solid. They do nothing spectacular, but the songs don’t call for that.
