ReviewsRanked #88 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION follows the also moody and sublime RECKONING with its dark, backwoods wanderlust and a labyrinth of lyrics woven through banjo, cello and violin....FABLES is like a dark cloud in the band's discography: Full of stormy rhythm, trademark guitar jangling and box-car philosophy...", "...FABLES... is both REM's most impenetrable and fulfilling release to date....FABLES... is...etched with paranoia, slooooowly-strangled guitars and...the sound of four young Athenians who were neither shiny nor happy., 5 stars out of 5 -- "The tension between rock kineticism and hermetic atmosphere makes FABLES... continue to ring loud and clear.", Ranked #4 in Cmj's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1985in, "R.E.M. doubled down on death, darkness, and Southern gothic mystery for their third record, a haunting collection of Americana tales." -- Grade: A, 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Vague, spellbinding music that floats in the space between history and memory.", "A great and inspired album....FABLES is a dark and murky set with a textural palette close to the muted earth tones of its packaging.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "There are hymns to a vanishing America like impressionistic travelogue 'Driver 8'..."
Additional InformationA transitional album for the band that produced several hits and set up the push for stradom that shortly followed., The 25th Anniversary Edition of Fables of the Reconstruction is graced with a bonus disc of live-in-the-studio demos of the entire album, which are much looser and livelier than the finished product.
