I've been listening to this album for decades, but it's rocketed upwards in my estimation in recent times. I still think that many of the contemporaneous songs from their EPs tend to be better than some of the individual tracks here, but it's still such an immersive world with many gorgeous moods and features.

This is the "worst" of the records R.E.M. put out from '82-'86, and it's still fantastic. It's brought down a bit by containing what is by far my least-favorite R.E.M. track from that era, "(Don't Go Back to) Rockville," which is dusty, boring, and lame, aside from Stipe's vocals, which I love in this era. But there are some real masterpiece tracks here, especially "Time after Time (Annelise)" and "So. Central Rain." A great guitar album.
