CD ReviewsREM is Back!!!!! Back to its roots with only one glitch. Joshua C. Bean | Fort Myers, Florida | 05/05/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album represents what REM used to stand for, which is good old fashioned, angst ridden, cleverly phrased protests college rock. I have been an avid fan since 1982. I pickED up my first album at the age of 9 from an friends older brother. This band is the best band in the world and this album signifies a shift from the fluff of the late 90's into the creative and empowering music that they are capable of. Good job Mike and Company. Keep on rocking!!!!" One excellent and one O.K. song. DVD is worthless. jeffsdate | Boxford, MA USA | 06/23/2008 (1 out of 5 stars) ""Supernatural Superserious" is the token hit, and "Hollow Man" is decent. The rest of the cd is just noise, and the dvd is utterly worthless. Jeez, I thought the dvd would at least have some concert footage or something, but I guess it's just there to justify a higher price!" Best post-Berry album R. D. Seale Jr. | Birmingham, AL United States | 05/09/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have appreciated all of REM's albums for various reasons, and when a band is as talented and tight as REM, it's not hard to do that. But i am not in the majority, if most press reviews are correct. Many long-time fans have bolted after 3 texturally thick, lush albums since the departure of drummer Bill Berry. If you are one of those, come on back, my friend.
The album clocks in at a short 34+ minutes, with most songs barely 3 minutes long, but the driving force of the album makes up for shorter songs. The first single "Supernatural Superserious" is one of the best REM singles since Automatic. Other highlights include "Accelerate", "Hollow Man", "Mr. Richards", and "I Wanna DJ", which appeared on their most recent live album. Every song is peter Buck-guitar driven, with few acoustic instruments, keyboards, or even pianos. Mike Mills's trademark backing vocals, which have been noticably low key on "Up", "Reveal" and "Around the Sun" are back and provide a wonderful foil to Michael Stipe's forceful lead. Every song hits hard but maintains the pop craftwork that REM fans have loved for over 25 years." |
