Ranked #7 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1983"., 4 stars out of 5 -- "MURMUR was a friendly ghost -- brooding but elegant, new-wave moody but folk-rock sunny, hesitant but hopeful.", Included in Spin's list of the Top Ten College Cult Classics - "...an unmitigated delight....spawned the entire breed of what has become known as `college rock'.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "MURMUR promised not so much a new American underground, as an undergrowth, rustling with secrets.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "It is no exaggeration to suggest that MURMUR amounts to a Rosetta Stone for what is now thought of as indie rock...", Rating: A, Included in AP's "10 Essential '80s Albums" - "...REM made jangling guitars and mumbled lyrics hip again for American youth...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Disarmingly beautiful music that mixes '60s folk significance with '80s new-wave ambivalence.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "MURMUR remains the cornerstone of the R.E.M. legend, the reason they are important....An incredible collection of songs...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Anthemic on a bedroom scale, danceable but not robotic, experimental without being oblique.", "Their sound emerged so fully formed that even after 26 years and 15 proper albums, it's still arguably their best.", Ranked #8 in Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums Of The Eighties" survey.

Talk About the Passion
Twenty-five years old this year and REM’s ‘Murmur’ still sounds as fresh as a daisy. Remarkably accomplished for a debut album, because the band had already honed its sound with considerable touring and recording, REM’s blend of 1960s-style jangle pop beefed up with a post-punk sensibility and suffused with Deep South mysticism was a winning and influential formula. Tracks like ‘Talk About the Passion’, ‘Radio Free Europe’ and ‘Perfect Circle’ are so brilliant and well-loved as to be almost part of our musical DNA, but the album’s less-celebrated cuts also delight. I love ‘Shaking Through’ with its soulful, piano-driven melody; ‘Catapult’s’ simply joyful catchy singalong; ‘West of the Fields’s murky mysticism and ‘ 9-9’s’ edgy, babbling backing vocal track which recalls the Velvet ...

As REM progressed through its stellar catalogue of music the band undoubtedly delivered more mature and confident records with superior compositional acumen but the freshness and sheer joy of music that suffuses ‘Murmur’ makes it one of their very best, which means it must be one of the best albums of all time.

Murmur
This is where it all began, and although not quite as good as life's rich pageant, this is up there with the best of R.E.M.
