 REM fan since the 1980's June 23, 2008

Thank God REM is back! I have been listening to them forever, and longed for them to return to the sound that makes them great. They had a hard time when Bill Berry left, and I think they were struggling to keep their identity. I also have to mention, with out a doubt, they ate the best live band ever, hands down! I have seen them three times, and just saw them in Philadelphia last week. I even took my kids (ages 13, 10, and 7). They had a great time. I can not say enough about my love for this band.
Raw sound, full of energy June 20, 2008

Reminiscent of earlier their albums, including Murmur, Green, with a dash of New Adventures thrown in. A very raw, unrehearsed sound, the loyal R.E.M. fan will appreciate the fact that they can still drop an album.

This cd is good! It is harder than the usual REM stuff. I like the edgier stuff like this as compared to the bubblegum pop stuff that the commons tend to enjoy. It reminds me of the older stuff they did back in the early 80's.
 R.E.M. induces sleep...give it up. June 19, 2008

I used to LOVE this band. I anticipated their every new release with anticipation. I've seen them live 3 times including an early tour in New Orleans in which Michael Stipe mumbled behind his assymetrical hair for 2-3 hours. It was great. Since the drummer left they have been mediocre with occasional impressive outings like Reveal. They should retire and go onto full time solo careers. This disc is mediocre and embarrassing. I'm watching them right now on Austin City Limits embarrass themselves. They're destroying their legacy. Make this the end.

Their social perspective hasn't changed but their sound on this CD is much more intense and rapid-fire than anything they've done recently.
Their best work since, "Automatic For The People"!
