I know everyone seemed to dislike Fables, but I really loved it. Driver 8, Old Man Kensey, Feeling Gravity's Pull, it was an album where you could really feel the band's emotions, even if it was a bad time for them.
@jonboyjon1976 Thanks jonboyjon, I agree with you. For me the only bad records they did came after Bill Berry quit. Even their last effort wasn't as good as the with Berry days. Sad but at least they had the balls to call it quits while they were still relatively good. I love this band, hell, it's my favorite band of all times. Screw the Beatles, The Stones, etc.
@legandrydirk Think how hard it would have been to make that album,with out the guy that was with them right from the start.And they still pulled it off,Daysleeper was another good song off the album.If fact they were all good.
@Circumpunk Want to know something funny?Some nut jobs on the net,think Michael Stipe is a reptillian shape shifter,LOL.Maybe it had to do with that song
@legandrydirk Hahahahahaha!!! I just talked with a guy here about the New World order. The world is full of nut jobs. I guess anyone successful in life is a reptillian. Not me, I'm a loser....hahahaha!
@Circumpunk I am sad enough to watch there video though.Thinking what the hell am I meant to be looking out for here?And there is nothing there that looks dodgy.Aparently the royal familly are reptillians as well.
@legandrydirk I don't know why anyone thinks that the Royals are aliens. I've read the material about it but don't see any science in the science fiction. That is to say some people lie. I think the shape-shifter crowd are liars, looking to profit from gossip.
@Circumpunk I believe in extra terrstials and have saw UFO,s.I am near a hot spot in Scotland,not the famous Bonnybridge.But one on the Ayrshire coast a lot.So there is defo something up there.I keep a open mind,and dont believe we would be the only beings that a supreme being or a God would create.Ever watch the show about this subject on the history channel?I got the DVD,s about it.And it was really interesting,they tried to de bunk it all with science.And were down in Redlesham forrest
@legandrydirk I don't doubt the possibility of extra terrestrial life. I would be a fool to count out the mathematical possibility. I also have firm religious beliefs. I just don't think we are being manipulated by aliens in the way these reptillian believers suggest. I mean, if they are smart enough to get here why not just take over entirely centuries ago and put us all in the salt mines together without humanoid representation? Who needs democracy when you have phasers? ; ))
@Circumpunk Cos there will be a federation,and they will be keeping the evil ones at bay.Who would do that to humanity.Some say that Hitler had a pact with the grays.And this is why there on earth.As they got asked bye Hitler,and they gave him the lie he would win the war.And they got to use the slaves,to test out reproduction with to make a clone.I know it all sounds a bit X Philes,but sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction.I like the idea,that we are protected at least from above.
@Circumpunk Fair enough but they also have a interest in nuclear weapons.Plenty off sightings have been over military bases.I dont think they want us humans to destroy our selfs.CHEERIO then
My dad was a Taxi driver, he had a brain tumor on going for 10 years but did't know! untill late, we watched him getting weaker & weaker! but he was working like that suffering for me & my sis, while he was sick when we did't know I use to have REM best off, I'd litsen to this & use to think of my dad still do!
@handsomedevil98 dont feel so bad,, cuz parents are strong and even tho it sounds crazy , your father felt more to take care of his beloved children than hi own health ,,my dad did it too, a lot of it was he didnt want go to dr.for bad news,he lives still in your heart and in me cuz now illthink of him when i listen to driver 8 , then i will tell my friends and they will think of him ,, see how your dad is alive!!!!!, small comsolation 4u im sure but wa are all energy!
This is such an underrated song by REM. Sure they can make good tunes now, but with Bill Berry they were near unstoppable. They'll never make music as good as this ever again.
Ah, the Classic early R.E.M. They haven't done much since selling their souls to Warner Bros. Still better than most of the crap out today, but nothing as good as this!
Even if Fables Of The Reconstruction (1985) is a little flat album, R.E.M. could still rock! Proof with this gem!

I think they just evolved into something different. It was time to move on. This is still a great song though.

@legandrydirk I just listened to Alligator for the first time. Thank you for introducing me to it.
You are speaking of Bill Berry the drummer. Yes, it must have been difficult to make more albums without him.
