From the cover depiction of a winding river\/snake, the jangly music within was similarly ambiguous, drenched in alternately murky, then dazzlingly clear, images. The water theme predominates throughout side one's five-song suite, with talk of harbours, oceans and water towers, crowned by the sublime lament of \"So. Central Rain.\" Later, the melancholic eulogy of \"Camera\" sits comfortably beside the cod-country of \"(Don't Go Back To) Rockville\" and the brisk but disillusioned tour around \"Little America.\" An astonishingly assured and uncommercial half-sibling to MURMUR: file under water.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/11\/1984\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"R.E.M.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563460358377,"sku":"5M4C0V-KKRH-00","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/REM-RECKONING_8WfSy.jpg?v=1759248018","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/r-e-m-reckoning","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
