Our Review

Since original drummer Bill Berry left the band in 1997, R.E.M. have been a very a different group. Their albums turned inward, contemplative, experimental, and moody, rarely setting aside the time to rock. With 2008’s Accelerate, their first studio album in four years since Around the Sun, they are recharged and ready for the road. Reinforced with ex-Ministry drummer Bill Rieflin and extra guitarist Scott McCaughey, the remaining trio breathe new life into their musical and political passions. “Living Well’s the Best Revenge” begins on an urgent note, the guitars snarling while Michael Stipe defiantly reclaims his spokesman mantle declaring “The future is ours and you don’t even rate a footnote.” Other supersized rockers, “Mansized Wreath,” “Horse to Water,” and “I’m Gonna DJ,” further celebrate the band’s newfound aggression. Even the downcast numbers, the post-Katrina exile of  “Houston,” the ominous foreboding of “Sing for the Submarine,” are fueled with underlying fuzztones amidst the acoustic guitars and sublime backing harmonies from bassist Mike Mills, who resumes his role as the album’s gentle organizer. A welcome return.

R.E.M. is having fun again... (5 stars)
Yes they are back with their 1st real rock album in over a decade, and yes it's their best album since New Adventures in Hi-Fi, but they aren't returning to form becuase R.E.M. has never made an album quite like this. The best part? THE RETURN OF MIKE MILLS!!! The second lead singer appears in just about every song, and it's nice to hear him again. Also, the band seems to finally accept the fact that Bill Berry is gone. On 'Up', 'Reveal', an

R.E.M Returns (5 stars)
My dad is a big R.E.M fan, so I've heard some of their stuff before. I thought they were OK, but was never really that into them. ESPECIALLY not some of their more recent albums. Their older stuff, before the Attack of the Great Evil Mandolin, was better, and most of the recent albums have only had 3 or 4 listenable tracks. And then we come to Accelerate. I looked at it and thought, "WTF, I'll buy it for dad." And then I listened

R.E.M. Rules Once Again (5 stars)
This album will show that R.E.M. can rock your socks off at any stage of their career. This CD will rank up their with Murmer, Automatic for the People and Monster as R.E.M.'s greatest albums of all time. This is a must-buy for REM fans.

Biography

Formed: 1980 in Athens, GA
Genre: Rock
Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

R.E.M. marked the point when post-punk turned into alternative rock. When their first single, "Radio Free Europe," was released in 1981, it sparked a back-to-the-garage movement in the American underground. While there were a number of hardcore and punk bands in the U.S. during the early '80s, R.E.M. brought guitar pop back into the underground lexicon. Combining ringing guitar hooks with mumbled, cryptic lyrics and a D.I.Y. aesthetic borrowed from post-punk, the band simultaneously sounded traditional...
