i love this album so much. i have the best vinyl copy of it and i am blasting it right now. i wish you could hear how good it sounds. it fills me with joy. also probably my fave stipe lyrics of any rem album. my kinda surreal americana. wish more people did that. fuck with the desert. but maybe not like jim morrison. no offense to jim.

second. still my fave of theirs, even though i was a teen chronic town snob. i remember walking into strawberries at like, downtown crossing in boston the day it dropped and getting it.

can we get some love for Flowers of Guatemala? i have always really loved that song and probably posted the same thing upthread but i feel like it deserves more votes than 2!! tough competition i guess.

americana
"Night wings her hair chainsHere's your wooden greenback singWooden beams and dovetail sweepI struck that picture ninety timesI walked that path a hundred ninetyLong, low time ago, people talk to me"
on paper at least, this is legit the closest thing to Syd Barrett anyone has done

No votes for Hyena makes me sad, the urgency in the verses in that tune.

"Flowers" is so Velvet-y. And I love that simple guitar solo.
