Less rock and more country. I hear his influence in the band Pavement's music. Love Ooh Las Vegas.

Some amazing songs on here and some self-indulgent stuff as well. Overall a good album once you know your place as a listener.

I remember hearing this back in the day. Forgot about this recording. At the time it sounded very advanced for it's time. There were some others out there, like the Ninja Tune artists, but this recording was certainly ahead of the curve. Some acid jass, techno, electronic, hip-hop influnce this recording. I can still listen today and it takes me back to the late 1990's, before Y2K.

Not my favorite R.E.M. record. This and the previous record, Document, started getting R.E.M. on the pop music stations and more heavy rotation on MTV. To me the sound became to polished and to overproduced. While there are still some amazing songs on this record, it just was not my style. I was a big fan and went to every show when they would come into town, but by this record, I was less interested in the band. This album was really less jangle pop as the previous albums and R.E.M. seem to lose their college radio station sound. That is fine, we all have to graduate from college someday. However, for R.E.M. their college sound was what drew me in and made them endearing.

Love David Bowie. Love this record. While I was too young to know this record when it came out, I have grown to appreciate it in my years. Sound and Vision is a favorite of mine and if one song can encapsulate the mood, feeling, sound of the record, it is this one song. The production is fantastic and this record is a favorite of many and I can see why. Certainly a top three record from David Bowie for me.

Not my cup of tea generally. This album is fine but I preferred. Countdown to Destruction.
