Why This Record Matters
Reckoning expanded R.E.M.’s signature jangly alternative rock sound while helping establish the foundation of American college rock during the 1980s. The album includes fan favorites like “So. Central Rain” and “(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville,” both central to the band’s early catalog.
