@remhq Great LP. Probably S. Central Rain or 7 Chinese Bros. But 10 of 10 LP.
@remhq So. Central Rain. But Camera not far behind
@remhq Every track thoroughly deserves its place on this album.
@remhq I love them all but “Harborcoat” kicked it all off, so that.
@remhq Brilliant album, from the melodies through to the artwork. All excellent tracks but my absolute favourites are: So Central Rain Harborcoat Rockville Such an iconic albumn, wish you would have produced some merchandise to celebrate the 40 years.
@remhq Camera. I had this album on my turntable constantly!
@remhq So. Central Rain & Pretty Persuasion for me. This is my favorite R.E.M. album.
@remhq Perhaps the Greatest indie album ever. “Pretty Persuasion” and “Harborcoat.” “Harborcoat” is essentially a nonsensical tone poem.
