I think you might have found your calling with album reviews... will you deliver as well with movies? We will have to see. ;) I am a fan of radio R.E.M. I've never seeked them out beyond that, but I like that if I did, I would know what to look for. Well-rounded review. Oh, I really liked this review too.

I like that you added that the album was about death and that you made sure to note the upbeat songs. People often see REM as depressing so it nice to know that they do have up beat songs even if they talk about death....a lot. Great Job! Nice review.

You gave good examples of the songs on the album, described them creatively and accurately, and put it in historical context. The matter is far more complex than you probably had space, knowledge, or inclination to essay, but I can't fault your diction or insight. For a different view, see <a href="http://www.avclub.com/content/blog/r_e_m_s_incredible_shrinking" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a> on the A.V. Club that questions whether R.E.M.'s later period has diminished even their earlier works to irrelevancy. Lovely review — the short word count kept you focused on the album itself.

You pretty much got them right. I hadn't really paid that much attention to the lyrics, but I agree with you that they are mainly about death. How cool!!! I had listened to REM growing up.

I had to write an essay on an American history test comparing R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" and ...uh....something historic. Anyway, I have great respect for R.E.M. , and your post was lovely.

Post '67 was better music that I like more, but I still love that the "Hard Day's Night" era. Maybe it was just pop, but it was damn good pop.
