An important album, the band, which became its thanks to the so-called "great hope" and later "a large brandy." You/I have to dig it out again and listen for a long time. _________________ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNGpsnTCUXM

Exceptional! For me this was the start of the American alt-rock scene of the next 10/15 years, REM were the first great American 'indie' band. I'll never get sick of this album, I love it!

Nice but great... I'm not an R.E.M admirer anyways, always preferred The Smiths.

REM's best, probably. Anyway, great record. I still listen to it often, "Pilgrimage" is probably the band's masterpiece.

I love this album so much. It's got Peter Buck's jangley guitar sound and mumbled almost indecipherable lyrics of Michael Stipe and Mike Mills melodic bass playing (Why the hell am I only one that thinks he's a great bass player?) that would become R.E.M.'s trademark for years to come. But Murmur also has a a sort of eerie and mysterious quality to it that keeps the listener coming back again and again. You can't really unpack it the first, or even second time you listen to it. It's quite a special album. It's a thing of beauty, made by one of the greatest American rock bands of all time, and it was only their first LP!

"Perfect Circle" is indeed perfect. A good flow and very consistent, kickass debut.
