Free Music Notes for Accelerate
Free Music Review: An Outstanding Return to Form
Hit: 5 Stars
Accelerate, the newest album from REM, is the kind of album that a person has to listen to several times before you can start to pass judgment. On my first listen through the album I came away somehwat dissapointed, however, with each subsequent listen, the album grew stronger. The return of Peter Buck's guitar is especially welcome. Let's hope that they don't wait several years before releasing their next album, because if they stick to the formula that was used on Accelerate, it will be a winner as well. My only complaint with the album is the length. I wish they could have put a couple of more songs on it.Free Music Review: Much Betterer

This sounds like an R.E.M. IRS record. Fast and happy instead of that slow and sappy junk they've been putting out over the past 10 years(?) We don't want no "Everybody Hurts" crap. We want "Hollow Man" type stuff. The world needs more happy sounding music and that's what has returned. Lyrics are not necessarily happy like the Springsteen "Magic" CD but the music is clever like Bruce's CD. Last few R.E.M. cd's MUSIC has been lame to me. Their lyrics are never lacking. Pilgrimage to your store and buy this for both the words and the melodies. It's very good.Free Music Review: Raw Energy, Lyrics and Music Blows Me Away!!

Being a true REM fan, I was hoping the geniuses would have the spotlight again! They have never been "has beens", even during the last mellow CDs.
This creative piece shows they can rock with intelligence, without selling out!
The energy hits you in the face.. Then read the lyrics which will bring the songs to a new dimension. Add the guitars, bass and harmonies, you've got a complete package!
The CD debuted number "2", selling more than 400,000 copies, that tells us something...(Help keep the momentum going !!)

I lost REM after "Automatic for the people". With "Accelerate" they are more than back. The rock and the power in this album is simply amazing. My favorite tracks: "Supernatural Superserious", Until the day is done", "Living well is the best revenge", "Hollow man", "Horse to water", "Man-sized wreath", "Accelerate" and my own private number one "Mr. Richards". Great sound, great feeling, great vocals, great guitars, great drums, great bass, everything is great. REM surprised me with this 2008 classic. Great job!Free Music Review: REM fan since the 1980's

Thank God REM is back! I have been listening to them forever, and longed for them to return to the sound that makes them great. They had a hard time when Bill Berry left, and I think they were struggling to keep their identity. I also have to mention, with out a doubt, they ate the best live band ever, hands down! I have seen them three times, and just saw them in Philadelphia last week. I even took my kids (ages 13, 10, and 7). They had a great time. I can not say enough about my love for this band.
