Whereas 1983’s Murmur had been complex and painstakingly deliberate, the bands Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe, along with producers Mitch Easter and Don Dixon, saw Reckoning as a chance to turn up the volume, tear up the rule book, and capture instead R.E.M.s on-stage mojo. Features the chart hit “So. Central Rain” and the college radio anthems “Pretty Persuasion,” “(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville” and “Time After Time (Annelise).”
