R.E.M. Document interview 1987 (The New Music)

[@adelaideautowashes]

Document is my favourite 1980's album by them. Nice to find an interview like this. Definitely very old, but personally I like the VHS vibe!

Awesome!

Amazing work, thank you! This is definitely inspiring for my new solo music project UV 🎤

"misunderstanding of work as a replacement for feeling or a repression of feeling so this album is a rebuttal of that" & "courage and clarity in thought and statement and intent and action"

I love their post 1985 IRS years + Green. It's like there's 3 REMs. The first 3 albums & Chronic Town EP, the ballsy band that made Pageant, Document, and Green, and then the one that made everything after Green that I didn't care for. Until Reveal, when they returned to form. A mash of versions 1 & 2. Accelerate and the Live in Dublin double album are both great as well

You forgot their best album, Fables

[@dathorndike4908]

The IRS years were what made REM great
