R.E.M.: Reckoning
Label: I.R.S. Records
Year: 1984
Reckoning is the second and final album by R.E.M., that little ol’ band from Athens. As with their debut LP Murmur, it was produced by machinists Mitch Easter and Don Dixon in Charlotte and also like Murmur, Reckoning features pulsating drums, Steve Cropper’s biggest fan, the best backing vocals by a bassist this side of Pasadena and impossibly great inscrutable songs. Unfortunately, this road could be traveled no further by the little ol’ band from Athens, but at least we have the first two albums and the EP.
