![]() And many of the songs on the record - including 'Feeling Gravitys Pull,' 'Maps and Legends,' 'Green Grow the Rushes,' 'Auctioneer (Another Engine. ![]() Youll probably grow to like it more than other REM albums, which I did. Fables is more inconsistent than its two predecessors, but the group does demonstrate considerable musical growth, particularly in how perfectly it evokes the strange rural legends of the South. Dont believe the bad hype this album has got. They are not even experimenting, its just a very bad song. The other is Burn in Hell, which is terrible. Where the Rushes grow is a slow, jangly guitar ballad which always hits the spot and Kohoutek is a typical REM sounding track, which makes it great of course! In fact there are only two poor songs on the album and they are Something Strange, which is a cover of a Wire track, so it isnt a real REM song, so it can be excused. Maps and Legends is simply brilliant with Michael and Mike singing a beautiful harmony together. ![]() Youve got to remember this album was made in a period of time when relations were strained between bandmembers, so antagonism and bad memories towards the album would have to be expected. Fans were obviously influenced by bandmembers hasty statements pertaining to their view that this was their least favourite album. Maybe Im just not getting it but Fables is my favourite REM album behind Automatic and Lifes Rich Pageant.
