Average Rating:
 Rating:  - PROMISING EARLY WORKAs a compilation of rare B-sides and the first EP, this album provides an enjoyable listening experience although it may not be up there with the best of this brilliant band. With its 22 tracks, it offers good value for money anyway. My favorites include the three Velvet Underground covers: There She Goes Again, Pale Blue Eyes and Femme Fatale. I also love the spiritual song Voice Of Harold with its gripping melody, churning guitars and whistling towards the end. Other tracks of note are the instrumental White Tornado with its powerful guitars, the speedy and energetic Toys In The Attic, Wolves Lower with its nervous rhythm, Gardening At Night with its lovely winding melody and All The Right Friends. Their sound ... Read More: Rating:  - The lighter side of REMThis is NOT an album, per se. This collects the best of the b-sides and rarities that REM recorded up to about 1986. A few of these songs are available on the reissues that IRS released in 1992, but most are exclusive. You also get REMs first release - the EP 'Chronic Town' mixed in. None of the songs are up to LP quality - except the stuff from Chronic Town - but this is worth buying just to listen to once in a while, simply for the oddball nature of some of these songs, like Bandwagon (about a wagon owner telling kids to ride on the wagon, because he treats the horse well) and the music of one song but Stipe singing lyrics from some gospel album (Voice of Harold). It's music that should be heard, but would've been too light for Fables of The Reconstruction, ...

It is a collection of b-side type songs, that may otherwise never have seen the light of day, although as for "King of the Road", Michael reckons that the origional artist should have sued them for this cover version! Easy, poppy songs like "Toys in the Attic", and "Ages of You" sound good, but don't sound like an REM album track. This seems to be what goes on in Michaels head between his visionary masterpieces, and it is bizzare to say the least. "White Tornado" is probably their best instreumental track, legues superior to that bloody "New Orleans" racket on Automatic! This is a fine album for listening to while you're doing something else. And, rather than a bonus track, you get "Cronicle", ... Read More: |
