THIS IS OUR MUSIC: R.E.M. – “Finest Worksong”. “Finest Worksong” was the third and final single released from R.E.M.’s fifth studio album Document. The opening track on R.E.M.’s commercial breakthrough album, Document, “Finest Worksong” is early proof that the bandmembers were no longer shy about engaging the commercial marketplace. The production, by Scott Litt, is a bit murkier than the glossy and straightforward Lifes Rich Pageant, but “Finest Worksong” has a downright assertive drum mix that shows Bill Berry truly leading the band for the first time, and Pete Buck’s guitars seem to be turned up a few notches as well. Over this, Michael Stipe’s lead vocal sounds much more commanding, almost hectoring, than he had ever successfully managed before, even if his lyrics remain opaque.
