Rewind: REM - Life's Rich Pageant

Travis is out of town this week, so we're dropping a Rewind episode on you from our first year podcasting back in 2018, where we covered REM's 4th studio album "Life's Rich Pageant". If you were to plot R.E.M's path from underground buzz to household name, their fourth studio album Life's Rich Pageant was the turning point. Coming out of a miserable recording experience in London with Fables of the Reconstruction in 1985, the band heads back to the states and are determined to inject some energy and creativity back into their music. The result is the loud, invigorating, and often spontaneous fourth album. Tracklist: What If We Give It Away?
