1991 and their 7th Album but considered their breakthrough notably because of "Losing my religion" but also "Shiny happy people" which Michael Stipe now says he hates - kinda'.
It was a massive Album and won 3 grammys but propelled the Band internationally (they're from Georgia USA) and has just been released as a re-master for the 25th anniversary including demos and outtakes.
It's Rock but folky rock with Stipe's vocals defining the record and the Band are known to be political. In some ways, it's 'singalong' time but that's not to diminish a great Album. It's just it was of its time. So in a way, it has dated.
To promote it Stipe has been giving Media interviews and here's how he looks now mid 50's. Different.
And Streamabout like it...so that's good??!!
