Free Music Review: Real VE?
Hit: 4 Stars
I dunno, I'm trying to make sense of the title... what exactly, are they trying to show? Spirit? Cuz that manages to come through. Jangle? Check. Weird lyrics? Yep. Okay... Well, anyway, this is the last REM album I purcased (in terms of recentness) chiefly because I despised the Single Imitation of Life, and the cover artwork looks like something out of my high school textbooks. Yeah, I got AtS before this. Fortunately, this is a way better album than both AtS and Up, although it doesn't contain any songs I'm addicted to like Lotus and Suspicion. The style is quite a departure from the past, in ways I can't really explain... hmm. I guess it's more drawly, kind of psychedelic. Oh yeah, and there's a fair number of synths. Less obvious fake drums than Up. It sort of reminds me of adult contemporary actually. NEway, this is a really strong album, on par with Accelerate and Green.
Reveal Poster
R.E.M. have no right at this advanced stage in their career to be making such a spirited and beautiful album as Reveal. Twenty years after "Radio Free Europe," they're still jiggy as year-old pups. Reveal is the sound of a band that's beyond feeling the need to change or to prove themselves to each new generation, but retains its passion. Michael Stipe's voice is at its most evocatively beautiful on "I've Been High," and Peter Buck's eclectic tunes continue along the highly accessible vein mined on 1998's Up. Stipe continues his emergence as an up-front vocalist whose lyrics, if never entirely self-explanatory, now make ingenious use of more readily identifiable phrases, images, and vignettes. Hovering over much of the album is the spirit of Brian Wilson, whose genius is echoed in "Beachball" and almost transcended in the astonishingly plangent "Summer Turns to High." With so much to live up to, it's not far short of astonishing that R.E.M. can still come up with a song such as the gorgeously chiming and shimmering "Imitation of Life," which, on its own, is worth the price of admission. But, from the first synthesizer swirls of the opener "The Lifting" onward, there's nary a dud to be heard on Reveal. --Johnny BlackAlternative Rock Music CDs
