Lifes Rich Pageant
by R.E.M.
This album has been added to 6 public lists:
-
1986
The fog lifts enough to reveal sharper edges - this is the first R.E.M. record that sounds remotely like their commercial heyday. The playing is more forceful, especially the rhythm section, but it never loses that sense of sideways motion. The songs feel rooted in specific places and histories without turning literal. A perfect balance of R.E.M.'s past and future.

Listening Log
This album has been an essential for me since ‘87 or so, when a co worker gave me a tape and said I should listen.
He was right. It’s amazing.
