Customer Reviews

Good and thorough

Platt's book is excellent. Thorough accounts of the recording sessions that lead to Murmur, a fine (if idiosnycratic) song by song attempt at interpretation and an excellent overview of the album and its reception. My minor quibble relates to Platt's Michael Stipe - centric view of the band, but the book is still a great read and a nice addition to the "R.E.M. canon." :)
