R.E.M's Green is an eceletic collection of two great political songs, some dumb but fun, almost bubblegum songs, three pastoral folk songs and some outliers.

Side 1 is very good, but side 2 tails off. Here is a review :

Today Fatbear watched River Plate on FIFA+. No, not the Argentinian giants, but their namesakes in Aruba !

R.E.M.'s Eponymous is a good introduction to the band's early years. After all, any album with Fall On Me can't be bad !

Fatbear isn't a fan of Heavy Rock, but Rainbow's On Stage live album is an exception, and although some of the overlong instrumental interludes could have been shortened, overall it still sounds good.

Here is Fatbear's review :

Zenyatta Mondatta, the third album by The Police, was their best seller up to that point, but it isn't very good.

Possibly Chinnor's best result in their history with a 47-26 victory over full-time Coventry, although it didn't look likely when they trailed 0-19 after 17 minutes
