Information AboutGreen (album) |
''Green'' is R.E.M. 's sixth album, and their major label release for Warner Bros. , released on Election Day , 1988. Featuring a slick production (which guitarist Peter Buck has publicly regretted), ''Green'' transformed R.E.M. from a college radio band to a major league group. It is also notable for Peter Buck's first use of mandolin, which can be heard in three of its tracks. ''Green'''s featured hits are " Orange Crush " and the US Top 10 smash " Stand ". " Pop Song 89 " also received a measure of success, as did "Turn You Inside-Out" which was consistently played to favorable stadium crowds on tour supporting the album. A commentary on the state of U.S. politics by Michael Stipe, "World Leader Pretend" was the first R.E.M. song to have its lyrics printed in one of their albums. With warm critical reaction and the conversion of many new fans, ''Green'' ultimately went double-platinum in the US, reaching #12, and peaked at #27 in the UK. The band would tour extensively in support of the album throughout 1989 , before beginning work on what would prove their worldwide commercial breakthrough, 1991 's '' Out Of Time ''. In 2005 , Warner Brothers Records issued an expanded two-disc edition of ''Green'' which includes a CD, a DVD-Audio disc containing a 5.1-channel surround sound mix of the album done by Elliot Scheiner , and the original CD booklet with expanded liner notes. The CD (as with all in this series) is not remastered.
