41.Nightswimming by: REM
January 06, 2003
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Nightswimming
Without doubt REM reached their high point when they released Automatic For The People in 1992. This single is a nice little compilation of a Nightswimming from Automatic and 3 tracks from previous albums, recorded live for American Public Radio. Nightswimming alone is an excellent song, but the inclusion of "World Leader Pretend" (live) from Green is more than worth the price of the CD. The other live tracks are both good versions of tracks from Out Of Time.

Music : Losing My Religion
I had to write a review for this song because it is my favourite track of all time. I first heard it on Jools Holland last year, and it has always been my favourite. Whenever there is the opportunity to do any karaoke, I always look for this song. It is an excellent original track, and I have chosen to review it because of this. I reccommend that you buy it or go out and listen to it.

43.What's the Frequency, Kenneth by: REM

Music : What's the Frequency, Kenneth
Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.99

Used Price: £0.07

This song is a perfectly crafted Rock Pop song, with relatively hard guitar riff for R.E.M. The Lyrics will take ages to decypher, but extremly cool. One of Peter Buck's most recognisable guitar solos half way through the song, is Excellent.

If you like this song, and the Guitar Playing you'll also like the Album 'Monster', from which 'What's the Frequency Kenneth' comes from, eventhough Monster is not as Pop orientated as the song, it is formidable!

Music : At My Most Beautiful [CD 1]
The charts are now typically dominated by commercialised love songs written by commitees and performed with no emotional involvement at all so Rem's simplistic yet beautiful love song is wonderfully refreshing. Stipe's vocals are soulful yet pressingly sincere and the song is stripped down to a plinking piano and beach-boy backing harmonies to make a beautiful piece of pop craftsmanship. Not content with making one of the best love songs of recent years, the band have also blessed this cd with two great b-sides. Theres a lenghty live cover of Iggy Pop's "Passenger" which is indulgently jazzy and also a grippingly gritty live version of "Country Feedback". One of Rem's best recent singles.

This is what a track from 'Document' would sound like if it were written now, rather than 1987. And that is indeed a good thing because R.E.M. most definitely sound like a rock band again. Its very refreshing to hear those jangly, fuzz pedal guitars of Peter Buck and listen to Mike Mills finally harmonize with Michael again. The mix is great and every instrument, including Michael's voice are perfectly mixed like they used to be...it just sounds so democratic again. I love it. Lets hope the album is as good as the single. Welcome back boys!

It is a true surround mix, but it is horrible to listen to. Some, like Stand, suddenly sound overly simple and quite underproduced. The life that was in the stereo mix is gone, as is the semi instrumental chorus of Stand at the end. Instead of the "Stand!" with echo you get the full line without echo. Nothing really benefits from the surround mix - it feels like it could have been done much better. By the way, there's a little bad language on Bad Day if that bothers you.

49.Shiny Happy People by: REM

Music : Shiny Happy People
This song isn't 'too uplifting' for REM, or anything like it. It's ironic. JUST like REM. Please listen to the lyrics! Speaking about love the song says: 'Put it in your heart, Where tomorrow shines - Gold and silver shine'. And so by proverbial implication: all that glitters is not gold. It's not a cheerful song, fellow reviewers; you've missed the point. It's a song about superficial happiness.

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.
