The beginning of the massive change in R.E.M.'s sound (and I am of the camp that that it was absolutely for the worst shouldn't need to be said, but it does), but very much still connected to the heart of what made them great in that early period. Whenever a band has a major shift in their sound and the first album is still very good, I call it "their Lifes Rich Pageant."

1986 was the Cocteaux peak year, and as you'll see below, I couldn't even acknowledge an important part of that on this chart.
