Query: A Footprint in Time

This is probably one of the most underrated R.E.M. album of the catalog, but still a quality work and a good listen. I wasn't endeared to it at first, but after several listens, it grew on me, and probably my surprise favourite of the whole disc is "Kohoutek". The whole disc has a lyrical quality of walking through a foggy wood and seeing silver threads and sparkling diamonds hanging from the willows beyond the fog. Michael's "mumbling" also lends to this feeling I get from the album, and the instrumentation does not disappoint, especially Peter's playing. The band may not like this album, but this fan does. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that later works (like Automatic for the People) surpass this album in both beauty and quality. A good listen, and still "a must".
