Free Music Review: One More Song!
Hit: 4 Stars
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 to learn about it's story. I have most of these albums on tape (dating myself), but it was nice to have the best all in one place. A good collection for any R.E.M. fan, if only for the liner notes.Free Music Review: 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.Free Music Review: 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 audience. "E Bow The Letter" is a mediocre exercise which gave R.E.M. an excuse to work in conjunction with Patti Smith. "All The Way From Reno," "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight" and "Stand" work well within the context of the albums they originate from but not in this package. In addition- new entries such as "Animal" and "Bad Day" (the latter of which was a prototype to the superior "It's The End Of The World As We Know It And I Feel Fine") would have been more suitable for "Around The Sun" to give that release the punch it was without. Where on Earth is "Bang On Blame," "Bittersweet Me," or the alternate edition of "Radio Song" (all of which were exceptional singles if not necessarily "hits")? Why weren't superb covers of Leonard Cohen's "First We Take Manhattan," Roky Erickson's "I Walked With A Zombie," or "Wall Of Death" by Richard Thompson fit for inclusion? Still nonetheless- a rarity such as the rollicking "All The Right Friends" is a nice surprise. The plea of "Losing My Religion," "Man On The Moon," and the sociopolitical churn of the rock driven "Orange Crush," are obvious selections but at least they belong here. In short "In Time" might be appropriate for many with only a casual taste for the band but those with extensive insight on R.E.M. will walk away with the thought that this could have been better.
