21.Imitation of Life by: REM

REM's last album 'Up' was a grave disappointment for the band's loyal followers, but the release of 'The Great Beyond' brought hope for the fans. Now 'Imitation of Life' gives the band a chance to redeem themselves with a good-old-fashioned REM rock song.

'Imitation of Life' brings a smile to my face - it's the lads from Athens, New Georgia, on top form again. The single is a sideswipe at the Hollywood culture which sees the band getting back to their roots as founders of the US punk movement back in the eighties. Although REM have never followed the true punk sound - they prefer to revel in their own delightful weirdness - they always get a message across in a beautifully harmonic style.

'Imitation...' is no exception, ... Read More:

A beautiful record that I never tire of listening to. It has been with me a long time - my favourite record alongside Nirvana Unplugged - and has a terrific soothing quality.
The only thing I would question is the inclusion of "Ignoreland" which hints at their later political actions but does little to complement the album's mood of brooding but optimistic introspection.
Strangely, perhaps, I'm not a big fan of "Everybody Hurts" either. But the rest of the album is sheer brilliance, and more than the sum of its parts. "Sweetness Follows" and "Nightswimming" in particular are sublime.
The band would never be the same after Bill Berry left, witness his input into songs like "Find the River", probably my favourite track of all ... Read More:

Can the story of R.E.M. be told in one compilation? Possibly not, but In Time tries to tell half of the tale thus far. The band tried to take into account fan opinion when compiling In Time, though when it came down to it, the view of both themselves and Warner Brothers carried a heavier weight.

Warners wanted one of the catchy singles on it, R.E.M. were less convinced and only acquiesced to The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite. In the end, Shiny Happy People was left off at the band's request and in doing so, prevented In Time being a true Greatest Hits 1888-2003.

Disc One of the two disc set is almost entirely made up of singles, apart from the strange decision to include All The Right Friends, an original track performed at R.E.M.'s ... Read More:

Once again Stipey proves that noone writes or sings them quite like he does. Anyone else heard his "Happiness" track with Rain Phoenix? A classic.

Music : The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
I have always found The Sidewinder sleeps tonite very familiar and similar to another song. To my amazement my thoughts were confirmed when i found it on this single.

REM's version of In the jungle is great. I absolutely love it. And combined with the two other great songs it makes this single well worth getting.

I haven't heard such a good cover since I discovered "A reggae tribute to The Beatles, vol 2".

Take my advise: Get this single right now!!!

R.E.M's new single "animal" is well worth the money. The song itself is one of their best for years. The B-sides are reasonable, a live version of "Pretty Persuation" and a live video of Losing my Religion from the Weisbaden concert during their 2003 world tour. This video however is contained on the "Perfect Square" concert DVD.
