I saw rem pre bill berry leaving
And post him going. Depending on your point of view they were arguably a better live band afterwards (slicker, but less interesting)
I like Up and Reveal. But Around the sun highlighted just how much the dynamic of the band was damaged. Accelerate has a special place in my heart, Collapse into now is like an alternative reality 'best of' with none of their best songs on it (but lots of stuff which sounds like theirs...)
I've been relistening to the albums alongside the R U talkin REM RE me? Podcast.
It's fun.
But they were a better band with Berry.
After all, how does it feel when you're in REM, it feels good!
