 Rating:  - REM seeking "renewal"4 STARS; An generally enjoyable disc that may be simply REM trying to "return to their roots" rather than their actually breaking any substantial new musical ground (as some critics have suggested)... This disk may represent a transition to something more interesting and transcendent, but that remains to be seen... In the meantime longtime fans will enjoy the retro sound and style, and newer fans will get treated to some of what was one of the best folk/rock American bands ever... While this disk is above-average for REM music since they became a trio, some songs sound a bit forced in terms of their loudness and "edginess", hence less than their fully authentic selves, and the songwriting is a bit spotty... (I admit that REM's ... Read More: Rating: - Back to PageantAs a student of mid 80's REM I am most comfortable with a little edge in their music. Notable albums like Reckoning, Life's Rich Pageant and Document are a diary of my college years. In saying this I by no means suggest that the post Document era was not creative. However, the last four albums from Adventures to New York were sombre and tired. I had lost interest in the band. On a nostalgic whim I bought this album and am very impressed with the tone and energy. clealry they have come full circle and now feel inclined to pick up the pace and put some more Rock in their roll. There are several slower tracks as well that are very good. It makes me very happy to get excited about REM again. Well done gentlemen, good to have you back! Rating:  - Hail REMI don't like reviews where the reviewer hasn't heard the album, but I've been a fan ever since Michael Stipe had hair and you couldn't understand his lyrics. This is I believe the 16th studio album from the Georgia boys, and I like what I'm hearing from the lead single, "Supernatural Superserious". Classic REM sound and it is radio friendly. A lot of innovative stuff going on at the REMHQ website too. Keep on creating guys...truly one of the great rock acts of the past 25 years. |
