quizás le falte algo de vida, pero no es un mal disco. Tiene cancions muy buenas! pero la crítica se empeñó en tomar el camino fácil, no escuchar el disco y decir lo que decían todos, que es el peor disco de REM...
first i was thinking, it was a shame there only were live versions.. but with these kinds of bands, you can't hear the difference, unlike the new Pop, where it may sound rubbish at live concerts.
..one month on...and still watch these vids with tears in my eyes...thank you REM for the great music...and great memories...REMembering Every Moment..
The Ascent of Man (from Around the sun) is in the top 3 songs on the album (along with Leaving New York and Aftermath) and sounds like a companion piece to Chorus and Ring from Reveal- you could easily mix the two sings together.
I class myself as an average REM fan, and started in the late 80s listening to their back catalogue such as Fables, Reckoning etc. Can't believe anyone would slag this. It's delivery and creativity is of the highest order. Of recent years this and New Advintures are my faves. This is a very good track.
Every word of this song reminds me of my crush few years ago... I remember promising myself every night that I would encounter him in the morning telling him what I feel.
One day he was gone, and I never did tell him. "So hesitation pulled me back -
Hearing this song live just underlines for me how badly this record was produced. So many of the songs are great, and, for me, they were ruined by terrible production.
On the album the "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" chorus just sounded like a horrible pop hook. Played live, on the other hand, this song (and many others from the album that I thought didn't work at all) sounds superb!
in a few more years even Buck will have to admit Around the Sun was a brilliant and original recording 9just like they eventually did about Fables). I like it more each time I hear it.
People don't know.........i know........i know tha this song is better than all of the others..........it's unique........and i've just heard it yesterday.
Ascent of man is a great song, arguably the best on Around the sun (although 'Leaving New York' in particular is great too) . The chorus reminds me of 'Lotus' on their 'Up' album which is probably no accident.

some songs from ATS are really goods. I think that the problem of the album is the overproduction, but the melodies and the lyrics are brilliants.

Who says Around the Sun is weak? I mean, sure it's not pure R&R, but can you point out ONE song which is really bad?
I personally think that the Ascent is an EPIC COMPOSITION!
