REISSUED in a deluxe edition MURMUR by REM was 1st released 25 freakin years ago. Man am I gettin old! Some say this album invented "alternative rock" but all I know is that I loved it and I continue to love REM and their music. Murmur is the debut album by R.E.M., released in 1983 on I.R.S. Records. Murmur drew critical acclaim upon its release for its sound, defined by singer Michael Stipe's cryptic lyrics and guitarist Peter Buck's jangly guitar style.
