Hopefully one of the ones they have here still works http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/r-e-m-2005-05-29-gijn-spain-aud-flac-141233.html#post1007694

I really like the 2005 show from Gijon, Spain. I think I got it from TUBE.

It might take a lot of work but you can use the program Soundflower to record streaming audio in Audacity. That creates lossless files easily. LAME mp3 is usually what is used to create mp3s, but I don't consider the quality to be very good. I would honestly recommend uploading tracks to a...

Yeah, that one might be just me trying to make it fit into the pattern. I guess I'd say that Up and Reveal used production, but Around the Sun was overproduced. I am a fan of Up and Reveal, but I've never really found the time to dig into Around the Sun, kind of just accepted the consensus after...

Discussion topic: why is R.E.M.'s whole discog so symmetrical? We've all noticed that their career is divided into three eras of five albums each (IRS, biggest stardom, and post-berry). Now, why do EACH OF THOSE ERAS FOLLOW EXACTLY THE SAME PATTERN? First, an album that tunes it down a bit...

I don't think I've listened to Around the Sun enough to have much of an opinion of what are good songs and bad songs. I do know that I really like The Outsiders and I got the impression I was the only one who did. It's better live though. Oh yeah, High Speed Train is great. I do wish it was less...

I don't think New Adventures has any filler, exactly, all the songs are good and interesting. It's just that there's a stretch of songs that I don't care that much about, basically from Bittersweet Me to So Fast, So Numb. I can always listen to them, it's just that with the number of times I've...

Gargumma I have the exact same opinion as you. The thing about trying to rank them is that my opinion about actual quality is different from how much I care about the albums. I think in terms of having consistently good songs New Adventures is something like seventh, but I just haven't heard...

Opinions on the new EP so far: "Reflections of a Sorry Man" has pretty funny lyrics, as we've come to expect from Peter solo. However this song takes his "can't sing" to new heights. I don't really like "If This Is Love", seems like a boring classic rock song with typical relationship-based but...
