Used to listen to this a lot. Time to revisit. Thank you for the essay & a reminder to visit an old friend.

These "IRS" years are really amazing. It's REM not at their peak in terms of popularity, but has a lot of what you mentioned... this mysterious felling, the unknown meaning, ambiguity, surprise.

I got into REM a bit before "Out of Time". It's was crazy because I was moving between different world s: Green, then Reckoning, Out of Time - Murmur, Automatic for the People - Fables of Reconstruction...
