Query: Major Label Debut and Transitional release

R.E.M.'s first release on a major label shows the band to be bringing in all it's musical directions for one disc."Green" was hugely successful, providing the band with it's first #1 single ("Stand") as well as FM radio hits "Orange Crush" and "Turn You Inside Out". Other tracks feature the arty scat side of Stipe's lyrics and the dreaded mandolin makes it's appearance felt here on several tracks.Largely overlooked now for unclear reasons, "Green" can be seen as a transitional release from the rocking, politically charged "Document" to the poppy disaster (but commercially successful) "Out Of Time".
