What an incredible experience it must have been to be around such a creative group of guys. Even today, I can listen to Stipe's lyrics and find different meaning with my changing life experiences.

I know they didn't like it, but Fables of the Reconstruction is one of the most moody, creative works in modern music IMO.

They came around to liking it at around the 20 year mark :)
