Editorial Reviews

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.

Four 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

5.0 out of 5 stars More like 4 1/2 stars, September 14, 2006
By kevin m antonio (rumford, ri United States) - See all my reviews
This is more complete than the IRS best of 'Eponymous'... 9 more songs! BUT, still no "Superman"?!? OK, it's on the 2 disc version, but being the casual fan I am I still feel a little cheated. Also, Anthony DeCurtis's notes are soooo rock snobbish. According to him if 'Fables of the Reconstruction' isn't your fave REM album, then you, my friend, are not a true REM fan.
Anyway... the music. Jangle rock at its finest. The thing that impresses me most is with all the remastering technology available, I STILL can't make out any of Michael "Mumbles" Stipe's words beyond the choruses. Remarkable.
So, if you're a casual REM fan, this may be the only disc you need... except for "Superman".

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, September 24, 2008
By E. Presley "epresley2" (FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The single disc version of this CD is probably a perfect retro pop CD. The two disc version is icing on the cake. Probably the most inspirational core set of material from any modern band coming out of the post punk, new wave / MTV era in the eighties. The newer material is different but just as good. If you have nothing, this is probably the best place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite stuff, November 23, 2007
By Adam J. Jones (Kelowna, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Haunting, melodic, rocking ... this is a terrific collection of songs from the key creative period of one of the essential '80s bands. If your only knowledge of REM is of their more self-conscious and narcissistic works of the 1990s, here's a reminder why so many of us were knocked out by them in the first place. As good as any Beatles album you can find.
