R.E.M’s 6th studio album, released in 1988. The album continued the band’s political/social theme and went on to become 2x platinum in the US. The 25th anniversary deluxe edition includes 26 tracks from their 1988 concert in Greensboro, North Carolina.

As far as major-label debuts by underground bands go, Green is fairly uncompromising. While it displays a more powerful guitar sound on “Get Up,” “Turn You Inside Out,” and “Orange Crush,” it also takes more detours than Document, whether it’s the bizarrely affecting contemporary folk of “The Wrong Child” and “You Are the Everything,” the bubblegum of “Stand” and “Pop Song 89,” or the introspection of the lovely “Hairshirt” and “World Leader Pretend.” But instead of presenting a portrait of a band with a rich, eclectic vision, Green is incoherent. While its best moments are flat-out great, the band has bitten off more than it can chew; many of the songs sound like failed experiments, and its arena-ready production now sounds slightly dated. Nevertheless, half of the record is brilliant, and it certainly indicates that R.E.M. are continuing to diversify their sound.
