I always loved REM but have lost interst in the last so many years. I guess the music was not what I expected but this album brings them back to their roots. It is a fun album that you can listen to over and over and will remind you of the good old days of REM

I bought this CD last week and have really enjoyed regaining some of my youth. I have 2 little ones and this album is mellow enough to share with them. I thought this collection could have easily included another CD. (Where's "Crush with Eyeliner" and "Shiny Happy People"?) I want more to give this 5 stars! I completely enjoyed reading the liner notes - there is a little blurb about each song. The "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" background info was a little before my time, so I found it interesting to learn about it's story. I have most of these albums on tape (dating myself), but it was nice to have the best all in one place. A good collection for any R.E.M. fan, if only for the liner notes.

REM is constantly one of the best Rock n Roll bands ever. Spanning over three decades (more to come) and releasing so many CDs that I have an entire row of my CD rack dedicated to them, this is one of my favorites. You can really see how they became superstars after listening to this one. There's nothing else I can say but BUY THIS CD AND LISTEN TO IT UNTIL YOU WEAR THROUGH IT AND NEED TO BUY ANOTHER ONE.

Here it is 17 years later, and I'm still listening to this CD. Every song on here is awesome. A timeless classic.

This album was another great release in the same style as Murmur. R.E.M. at this point had established themselves in the music circuit with their jangly Rickenbacher guitars along with singer Michael Stipes' sweet, yet slightly muffled vocals. Not to forget the other members who make R.E.M.-Billy Berry with his hard hitting sturdy drumming amd the melodic bass of Mike Mills. This release is a bit tighter and stronger than their first as heard on "Harbercoat" and "7 Chinese Bros.", because of it's overall meatier rhythm. Then it has "So. Central Rain", a mournful moody ballad about a love lost. which we all have experienced. The song "Pretty Persuasion" delivers in a big, hard hitting way as a perfect rock song. Overall the band still doesn't disappoint, with each song on this album proving their ... Read More

This is a very good album. Some people think it's the group's best, and indeed it's up there - for my part, I prefer the damn sellout (Yeah, Exhuming McCarthey's a commercial song, all right) Document. However, this is probably their second-best album. It pounds even the most acclaimed of the group's '90s work into the ground, too. I mean, Out of Time? A glorified single release for Losing My Religion? Get outta town! And Automatic for the People? A bunch of really good singles and absolutely wretched album tracks? It doesn't have a chance! And as for Around the Sun... Come on, do you need anyone here to tell you that this is better than Around the Sun? Anyway, let's get down to business here. The fog that was Fables of the Reconstruction had lifted, and in its place was an album that actually ... Read More

I haven't heard all of R.E.M's material, but I was quite satisfied with this collection, especially when joined with the the '88-'03 years.

"Document" was R.E.M.'s first breakout album that took them out of the obscurity of indie rock. Although R.E.M.'s guitars and Stipe's voice are louder, they added some cool guitar effects and some saxophones too. Although this album eliminated R.E.M.'s softy band status temporarily, this album added a stadium sound that increased R.E.M.'s accessibility. After all, listeners had a hard time hearing the words in R.E.M.'s first albums. In fact, with the opening track, "Finest Worksong," Stipe shows off his stadium voice, bellowing "The time to rise has been engaged/You'd better best to rearrange." As guitars blast in the background, Stipe calls people to take their instinct by the reins. R.E.M. also prove that they can still sing great soft songs, in the part acoustic, part-electric guitar ballad "Welcome to the Occupation." ... Read More

The 1990s music landscape saw Alternative Rock begin to basically become part of the mainstream music fold. Alternative Rock actually had its roots in the 1980s. Alternative Rock really ties itself to the "Indie Rock" (Independent Rock) movement. It is a style of music that often covers a wide variety of genres, often working on independent record labels, but most importantly the artist maintains complete control of the music and their careers. With 1980s Rock dominated by "Hit Radio" and mainstream music, much of the Alternative Rock movement was "underground" - heard in smaller venues and colleges. A band that was at the forefront of this underground movement of music was R.E.M. While many know R.E.M. is a pop-band from the 1990s, many also know R.E.M from the 1980s as one of the pioneers in Alternative Rock. Much of the reason for ... Read More
