    Great OG pressing for an iconic album from the 1980s. Excellent highs, mids, and bass. Stipe and Mills harmonies cut through the room. I feel like I'm back in middle school listening.

      It's amazing how clear and dynamic R.E.M records become considering Chronic Town and Murmer's mysteriously muddy production was integral to their sound. Another great mastering by Bob.

              The original US pressings of the first 4 albums sound exceptional to me and I prefer them over their MoFi counterparts. However, with this album, I prefer the MoFi issue which has a richer, warmer sound and better bass definition.
