The depths of alternative rock resonate in an introspective silence.
A beautiful and profound historical masterpiece in which REM looks at death, loss, and rebirth.
The warm melodies of "Everybody Hurts," which evoke loneliness, and Michael Stipe's mysterious vocals penetrate deeply into the heart. The acoustic feel and sophisticated arrangements vividly portray the subtleties of life.
