Album Notes R.E.M.: Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Bill Berry.Includes liner notes by Peter Buck.Many of those who revere R.E.M. tend to fixate on the Athens band's earlier days, when the Byrds-gone-new-wave jangle of Peter Buck's guitar and the inscrutable murmurs of curly-headed frontman Michael Stipe ruled the college-rock roost and set the standard for what came to be known as "alternative rock." Thus, it's often overlooked that the band didn't simply fade away after breaking through to the mainstream in the late-'80s. True to its title, IN TIME: THE BEST OF R.E.M. (1988-2003) chronicles the journey the group made after they became stars.Ever willing and able to defy expectations, R.E.M. steadfastly refused to commercialize their sound or tart it up to fit the arenas that became their venues. IN TIME addresses the prolific 1988-1992 era with everything from the driving fan-favorite "Orange Crush" to the transcendent, tension-filled folk-rocker "Losing My Religion" and the soul-influenced, empathetic anthem "Everybody Hurts." Representing their days after the departure of drummer Bill Berry are songs such as the dusty desert twang of "All the Way to Reno" and the "It's the End of the World As We Know It" companion piece, "Bad Day." Observing their chosen post-fame path, it's obvious that long after Stipe had shorn his locks and the music industry made them rich, R.E.M. remained staunchly committed to creating the kind of artful, idiosyncratic music that had made them alt-rock icons in the first place.

Review ID: 10000000007567530 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 05/06/08 by: Suddenly listening to the radio I realised that I only owned 1 REM album. The greatest hits give you the variety of sound and emotion that also gives you flashbacks to the times the songs were released. Something that only a few bands manage. That is that you can remember what was happening around the time you heard an REM track for the first time as they have that kind of impact. No Shiny Happy People, but all the rest stand on their own as current and future classics. Review ID: 10000000007423161 Was this review helpful?
