I think the 1-2-3 punch of Harborcoat --> 7 Chinese Bros. --> So. Central Rain alone make this my favorite R.E.M. album

Revives a past life... late night... gorgeous date... humid air scented with Plumeria and leaf mold... this record grabbed me tight and has yet to let me go.

OMG this is my opinion 8 years ago. thank you for reminding that. I was a fool back then. I love Reckoning and Camera, it's not as good as Murmur.

Recorded in my hometown. I heard parts of it before it was even released. REM never should have left Charlotte to record. They had adopted an old Charlotte and southern style accent but they lost it. This was and is their best album. Just listen how their accent has changed. They don't even sound like the same band in later albums. We had bunches of bands like them here, in the south, back in the day. All gone now.

Judging from the comments it seems maybe this album gets overshadowed by Murmur and Life's Rich Pageant in terms of their earlier stuff. Interesting... this is far and away my favourite of their early albums. 7 Chinese Brothers, So. Central Rain, Pretty Persuasion, Time After Time... hell the entire thing is damn near the pinnacle of pop-rock.

Probably their greatest A-side. I suspect that Pretty Persuasion is my favourite R.E.M. song.
