R.E.M.

Document
1987 Silver Label Original With Custom Inner Sleeve. Hole Punch. Features "The One I Love" And "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)." Glossy, Unplayed Condition. “R.E.M. Began To Move Toward Mainstream Record Production On Lifes Rich Pageant, But They Didn't Have A Commercial Breakthrough Until The Following Year's Document. Ironically, Document Is A Stranger, More Varied Album Than Its Predecessor, But Co-Producer Scott Litt -- Who Would Go On To Produce Every R.E.M. Album In The Following Decade -- Is A Better Conduit For The Band Than Don Gehman, Giving The Group A Clean Sound Without Sacrificing Their Enigmatic Tendencies. "Finest Worksong," The Stream-Of-Conscious Rant "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," And The Surprise Top Ten Single "The One I Love" All Crackle With Muscular Rhythms And Guitar Riffs, But The Real Surprise Is How Political The Mid-Tempo Jangle Pop Of "Welcome To The Occupation," "Disturbance At The Heron House," And "King Of Birds" Is. Where Lifes Rich Pageant Sounded A Bit Like A Party Record, Document Is A Fiery Statement, And Its Memorable Melodies And Riffs Are Made All The More Indelible By Its Righteous Anger. In Other Words, It's Not Only A Commercial Breakthrough, But A Creative Breakthrough As Well, Offering Evidence Of R.E.M.'S Growing Depth And Maturity, And Helping Usher In The P.C. Era In The Process.” All Music Guide - Stephen Thomas Erlewine
