A buddy of mine joked to me recently that Stipe was the first mumble-rapper. Yeah, he does a lot of that on the early stuff. Personally, I don't pay that much attention to the lyrics - at least in the early stuff where it's hard to understand what he's singing.

I think your next REM record chronologically would be their debut, Murmur. Definitely not one to be missed. After a couple listens, many of these songs are just going to be stuck in your head - and I bet you won't even mind. A great, great record. One of their best.

Looking back through this thread, I saw ancient posts from a version of me in 11th grade, asking others for their input on what albums I should buy for $8. Man, time flies.
