I own Green and the early greatest hits album and know most of the stuff on Monster & Automatic for the People. I just forget that there is such a huge body of work.

I think Stipe claims he was in a bad place mentally at the time.
It's part of a collection of 5 brilliant albums, but #2 Reckoning is my favourite.
Yes, I broadly agree. I'm glad you include Document in that run (I assume that you mean the first 5) as that's another one I love, and I do think all 5 of those are perfect really. After that, Green, Out Of Time and Automatic have highs and a few missteps, but are still very good. Then I start to lose interest a bit.
Thanks to KH for highlighting to me that there is an artist called The Dengie Hundred, who is half of a band called Blackwater. As an Old Maldonian it makes me pine for the mud flats.
A brilliant new album from my favourite Dutch graphic designer. He asked 52 friends/collaborators to send in a 1 minute piece, and then treated and reworked the pieces into an album.
