Hard to believe this is 31 years old. I purchased my copy in 2004, sealed for $20. Miss those days. I was in seventh grade when it came out, which is probably why I liked it so much, versus most longtime REM fans who apparently didn't. Anyway, this pressing is very good. I compared to the 2019 version and this one edges the newer one out, ever so slightly. I also left a review for that one, if you want to check it out.

Regarding 'reissues have no soul below'...In my experience, this is generally true but not always. After due diligence and a roll of the dice, you sometimes discover old wine in new bottles. And it tastes good and warms the soul.

Had the 1994 CD for year's, but this album is truly worth listening to on vinyl. Much better Bass respons, beautiful clear high and low's. Bought my copy in Amsterdam a few year's back in nm condition for 70€. I don't often pay these prices for one record, but this one is totally worth it! Recommendit to every lover of 90s alternative vinyl, who wants an original copy.

This is a Direct Metal Mastering pressing. Incredibly clean and clear, absolutely no noise.
-
this is up for re issue this year so wait for the re issue on 180g , and don't buy into these ridiculous prices

I was a kid when it came out, so had not nothing to do with their past albums, apart some hits. Had it on tape and liked the whole album. 30 years later, although not much into guitars music, even a 90s grunge offspring, I consider this a very good album, worthy of an eventual reissue. The kind of music is sentimental and hard to argue on its quality, but i believe it is still accessible and easy to enjoy from a large range of music fans, not necessarily the band fans who might expected and wanted something else. -
Even Stipe is quoted as saying that most hated the album upon release but over the years regard it as a pretty solid effort. -
Edited 3 years agoWell I don't agree with tim24 that everyone hated this upon release, my friends and I loved it back then and this is a fantastic album and sounds excellent on vinyl now. This pressing is particular is superb, so clear and full sounding..
