Editorial Review:
How do you condense 15 years of music down to 76 minutes? In the case of this survey of the second phase of R.E.M.'s career, the answer is: Exceptionally well. The dangling carrot for diehards is two new songs; the rapid fire "Bad Day" hurtles along like the kissing cousin of "It's the End of the World as We Know It," while "Animal" is anchored by a majestic drone reminiscent of the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows." In a surprising, but gratifying move, the rest of the program shortchanges the band's breakthrough, Out of Time (no "Shiny Happy People"), to better accommodate movie soundtrack contributions, and spotlight gems from the less commercial, post-Bill Berry albums Reveal and Up; with its baroque piano and multi-tracked vocal harmonies, the Beach Boys homage "At My Most Beautiful" is particularly gorgeous, while the burbling keyboards and slightly dazed singing of "All the Way to Reno" will appeal to Flaming Lips fans. --Kurt B. Reighley

Rating: - One More Song!
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 ...

Rating:  - about the music CD...Best of REM.........
The music is so so only after shops in Singapore sell this album (double disc album) which could also be found on Amazon.com. These shops in Singapore are HMV Singapore and Gramophone. What I could say about the nice pieces of music they have out of the so so album are track 8 - orange crush, track 9 - imitation of life and track 12 - the sidewinder sleeps tonite. Recommeneded to those whom are interested in this genre of music.

I enjoyed this album for the most part. The outstanding song on this album was "Losing My Religion". The lyrics were provocative and rich. Delivery of the song was extremely talented. Guitar accompaniment most striking. I recommend this album for this one song alone.
Rating: - Solid But Not Spectacular
You would think that since R.E.M. have been able to elicit both critical praise and achieve widespread popularity- at least at one time or another throughout its career- a compilation that highlights its work would be an easy task. It's apparent that's not the case because there has yet to be collection which provides Berry, Buck, Mills, and Stipe full justice to the ensemble's reputation. Just as "Eponymous" before it- there are additions and omissions which perplex even the most ardent of this band's ... Read More
