Description:
  • This re-issue collects together the classic 1984 'Reckoning' album along with a complete live concert from the same year. The album itself, though, was an important step for REM, and established them as literate but radio-friendly leaders of the college rock movement. Songs like 'So. Central Rain' and 'Don't Go Back To Rockville' were successful singles for the band, and went a long way towards kick-starting the band's now-legendary career at the forefront of alternative music. The live disc features much of the album being aired at the Aragon Ballroom.

Review:
  • Rolling Stone (p.77) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he powerful RECKONING established the band as bona fide leaders of the new American indie-rock underground." Spin (12/03, p.122) - "...RECKONING gets over on straight-up songcraft..." CMJ (1/6/03, p.14) - Included in CMJ's list of "Top 25 College Radio Albums of All Time" CMJ (1/5/04, p.14) - Ranked #1 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1984". Blender (Magazine) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "RECKONING aims for the gut with roundhouse drumming, sunburst guitars, Podunk country ballads...and just enough poetic vagueness..." Spin (p.91) - "[T]he songs betrayed a folk-country influence -- the Byrds, in particular -- resulting in an album refreshingly out of fashion for 1984." Pitchfork (Website) - "[I]t is host to a kind of determined minimalism, each song building via subtle variations in performance and instrumentation."
