1001 Albums Summary

Not one of their best but not their worst. After arguably peaking with the release of Fables of the Reconstruction in 1985, R.E.M. tapered off their innovations and artistry with the subsequent two albums, Life's Rich Pageant and Document. With the release of Green, the band begins their full pivot into international pop stardom... nuff said.

Shrieking onto the seen like an angry banshee of unrequited love, this is definitely something.

Seminal indeed! This album launched a thousand bands including the Beatles and is one of the most influential works in R&R.
