The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

by woody_goode , Nov 01 '02
Pros: The Chronic Town EP; a few lightweight pleasures
Cons: At least half the tracks are hideous
There's only one good one reason for buying Dead Letter Office: because you absolutely must have a copy of everything R.E.M. ever released. Which is appropriate, because that's why the original album was released.

This CD is Probably Better Known For Its Excellent Bonus Tracks!

by starcollector, , Jul 28 '08
Pros: Chronic Town is great, and there are a few other gems on the regular album.
Cons: Just too much stuff where they're just screwing around unappealingly.
(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Funny and you don't even try

by hellfudge , Dec 15 '03
Pros: Two good albums for the price of one (OK, one's an EP)
Cons: Dead Letter Office isn't for the casual fan
This will actually contain two reviews, as the CD version contains two albums I have loved separately for years - and no matter how hard I try I can't join them into one in my own head). Dead Letter Office Dead Letter Office is a ...

Junkyard Special

by Pantagruel , Sep 04 '00
Pros: a collection of rare and unreleased material
Cons: there is a reason why some of this was never released
The time is the late 1980’s. The scene, a trendy used-clothing store in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Enter two young college students blowing off a senior math class in favour of soaking in the city vibe on a beautiful spring...

Very good collection of b-sides and outtakes

by kats3737 , Jul 16 '01
Pros: Ages of You , the five songs of Chronic Town
Cons: Of a definitely lower quality than their albums
Peter Buck mentions in the notes accompanying Dead Letter Office , "listening to this album should be like browsing through a junkheap."

It sounds like a harsh analogy, but it's a pretty good one, considering that among the drunken...

Dead Actor Office - The "Man on the Moon" Soundtrack

by kevincmurphy , Nov 23 '99
Pros: 2 new R.E.M. songs and a Buck-Mills score will appeal to longtime fans.
Cons: Lots of useless dialogue snippets and too much kitsch included
Fresh off their most recent tour, the remaining three members of R.E.M. have chosen to follow up their vastly underrated album "Up" with their first attempt at a movie soundtrack. The result is "Man on the Moon," an eclectic...

Better than an album of outtakes has a right to be...

by KurtF , Dec 02 '99
Pros: Fun and surprisingly catchy
Cons: A couple of pretty bad songs (but fewer than one would expect)
This is a very peculiar collection of outtakes, covers, and drunken recording accidents, but it's also very listenable. "Bandwagon" is somehow both extremely dippy and one of my all-time favorite songs. "Voice of Harold" is Michael...
