Murmur album for sale Product Description
Murmur album for sale by REM was released Jun 23, 2009 on the A&M (USA) label. .R.E.M. 's full-length debut is a landmark album that set the standard for the next 10 years of indie rock. The Athens quartet combined Byrdsy, folk-rock guitar jangle with obscurantist lyrics and a post-punk compositional sensibility to create a vibrant new sound that would soon be imitated by every high-school poet with a Rickenbacker guitar.R.E.M. was also one of the first bands to make the long, hard journey from college radio (when it was still college radio) to mainstream acceptance, and managed the difficult task of maintaining its integrity at every step along the way. Murmur CD music contains a single disc with 12 songs. ...See Full Description

| Classic album with a bonus. This already classic album is only enhanced by the addition of 4 extra tracks taken from the b-sides of early REM singles. This is a great collectors edition and a great album to own. By a reviewer (Newhall, CA) This review is for a different format. |
| Does it even need to be said? Maybe you caught on with "The One I Love;" maybe "Man on the Moon;" it doesn't matter. Go back and experience R.E.M.'s first album. It sounded like nothing else at the time, and none of the immitators have ever come close since. This is absolute magic - musical transcendence. Every single track. Best album ever? I like "Revolver" by the Beatles, Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde," or "London Calling" by the Clash, but yes, THIS IS IT. By a reviewer (Evansville, IN, USA) This review is for a different format. |
| Beauty, power and passion This is like melody heaven, Beatles meets the Who or vice versa. Peter Buck becomes the new Peter Townshend and Michael Stipe the anti-Daltrey with his back to the audience, as they take on the world with the prettiest amplified guitars and harmonic textured vocals with smart cryptic lyrics that you could ever desire. Tight rythm section, too, makes the whole music come alive and then you realize if you hadn't heard this before, you should have, and here's why REM was a dominating musical force influencing a generation of bands; it started here in this first full CD by making their commitment to creating the most beautiful songs they could imagine, and aren't we lucky they did. By Andrew M. (Santa Rosa, CA) This review is for a different format. |
| EXCELLENT!!! Good songwriting, original sound By Hunter (Memphis, TN) This review is for a different format. |
| MURMUR is my fav A unique sound discovery that gets better with age. They only sounded like this on murmur and the after release, but earlier made chronic town. A must have! By alberta al (jasper) This review is for a different format. |
