Music/Album: REM - Green (Original 1988, Remastered 2013) Ive just got around to checking out last years remastered and re-released Green, REMs 1988 and sixth album - the 25th anniversary edition comes complete with pointless postcards and poster which no-one ever hangs on the wall. Its an unusual album: Released on US election day 1988; big pop songs about US foreign policy, the scope of pop music, relationships, political metaphors, etc; wistful mandolin-led laments for a weary generation of middle children. The handwringing reaches an all-time ardent high, but while its one of their most regretful albums, its also one of their sunniest. A few years later theyd be one of the biggest bands in the world. Different times indeed. It also comes with the Greensboro live album, which Im looking forward to hearing next.
