This is part of a series of mini-reviews of R.E.M.’s studio albums, ranked worst to best. (Don’t worry; I’ll keep them short.)

The record that had their first major hit and began breaking them into the mainstream. A good solid album.

WORST SONGS: I’m not much for Fireplace.

*NOT A TYPO!! That’s how they spelled it.
