I’m sure there is a better mix of this record but, this is what we have.
From the opening…it’s not possible that The Reivers weren’t REM fans. “Araby” is right out of the “9-9” playbook.
There is a gentle paisley-ness to this thing. It isn’t as biting as Long Ryders or Lone Justice and it’s a bit too cute at times, but it’s really nice. In fact, that’s not enough of a superlative. I think it’s 7 years too early.
Listen all the way through, it’s an underrated gem.
