"Murmur"—REM
REM's first full length may quite possibly be their best album. There's something about this album, sort of like what I said about the first Strokes album, that's very bittersweet. And somehow this album has always felt old to me, like some vinyl you dust off in the back of a record shop that brings back nostalgic feelings through the crackles and pops. I first heard it only about four years after it came out, but even then it still somehow sounded old.
