Reckoning is the second LP released by the band R.E.M. It was released in 1984 by indie label IRS Records. The album explores a number of different musical styles. Song topics include cold weather, a fairy tale in which a child drowns, a flood, superficiality, and separation. Yet the jangling guitars and beautiful melodies hide the dark lyrics. The final song, "Little America", is written about rural America, and the song is a prelude to the Southern themes on the subsequent album, Fables of the Reconstruction.
