Query: A firm 3rd album by REM

Fables of the Reconstruction is a CD with some nice listening songs. These songs were early on in their career as a group and it shows the listener the ever-evolving of this band. For me the pick of the album was Maps and Legends, Can't get there from Here and Green grow the Bushes.It is a nice album to listen to, but REM have done much better. Four stars for the quality of the 3 songs i above-mentioned.
