Amazon.com:
The songs collected on And I Feel Fine... The Best of The I.R.S. Years 1982-1987 are just good enough to render the previous I.R.S. years collection, 1998's Eponymous, officially dead. The latter was likely the way the masses heard R.E.M.'s underground hits on CD the first time--after all, the band had just come off of their apocalyptic breakthrough single ("It's the end of the world...") and CD players were finally hitting below the $400 mark. It did the trick. We all got up to date and it paved the way for a more sonic R.E.M. to grow into the phenomena they've become. This new version is a welcome history re-write as it pulls more from Murmur and Reckoning days and does a far better job at telling the early story--owing a great deal to the photos and in-depth notes from Anthony DeCurtis.

For our money it's worth $2 to buy the "Collectors Edition" for the massive collection of rarities on disc 2. The DVD companion to this CD is a visual goldmine. --Peter Hilgendorf

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's the End of the World As We Know It... And This Sounds Fine!
I haven't heard all of R.E.M's material, but I was quite satisfied with this collection, especially when joined with the the '88-'03 years.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Non-stop greatness !!!
In their early days at IRS, before R.E.M. became one of the "untoucheables" like U2 - they were just a group that was largely unknown outside of angst-ridden college radio. It was also in my opinion, one of ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The record business is killing itself
The IRS REM albums were some of the best released... and best sounding... of the 80's. This strips all of this and is shameful. Too much loudness compression, making it impossible and difficult to listen to. ... Read More
