Murmur: R.E.M.
When Murmur was released in 1983, few were prepared for its combination of American soundscapes, murmured lyrics and glints of meaning. In the words of the band members themselves, as well as the producers and engineers, this book shows how this rock album was created.

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." :)
