[chchchamon]

wow gotta say im a superfan. been listening to them since i was 12. this is one of my favorites out of hmmmmm almost 200

[mclethin]

did anybody else think that the guy standing in front of the motorcade looked like reference to tank man?

[WIGGLEANKE]

nummer 5

[lovethanman]

very very clever song writing...i admire that.

[s1i1c1]

R.EM LO LMEJOR DE LO MEJOR, SUBLIMES.

[fakiecrash]

il video è bellissimo!!!

[zamba00mamba]

only after listening for a long time did i realise how doomed we all are -....its true but i hope things can change

[alru24]

[TeflonHuman]

OWW!

[SuperElectronblue]

Espectacular! Que banda señores.

[Gabbs5522]

i like that one little weird note that plays randomnly:)

[Fac5111]

Love the drums on this video. Its like they have made them even more prominent than even when Bill was in the group!

I wish Joey Waroneker still played with them though,

[stephenrgow]

A good song, but not quite as good as the others from this album.

[rodyspace]

Best

Band

Ever

= )

[NoTopspin]

@rodyspace got to be up there for longevity and consistency and NOT being U2

[mysolitarystar]

Michael's voice sounds great on the Ac. material but this record feels like a retread of Monster..though not as good. imo xx

Still so happy that REM are continuing to produce music!

[lovez2eat]

I feel quite the same way :D

and i'm so looking forward to their new live album!!

i can't imagine how i'd feel if they'd stop producing music one day...

[loolynewbie]

i gonna play audiosurf

[REMchout]

awesome video.

[Iraklis735]

etsi gera re paidia polli kaloi

[Boomkap08]

a great Song! R.E.M., the best band of the world !:-)

[boko6565]

fame makes you feel like an object :V Everyone wants to do something with it, doesn't care what it is, but if it's popular everyone wants a piece if it.

[rdragonne]

This is the best accelerate song and one of the best by this great band.

Totally agree with hardwarestore123

[Silakos19]

goustarw rem einai pl kaloi

[stavrosmetal]

nai ontos!

[hardwarestore123]

I mean, who else but Michael Stipe could write a song called "Man-Sized Wreath"?!? Great artists are never predictable, never boring. This is why we love Michael, Mike, and Peter.

[whonut]

Their best album in yonks

[waltoss]

R.E.M. are the best band ever, Accelerate is class and so is thins video, its amazing how they still make great music unlike every new band that are just shit after there first album

[ArronTheCooooolest]

i love this song :) wierd video though.

[boko6565]

Has anyone figured out a meaning for this song?

[PadraikKasier]

I thought I had it figured out till I saw the video. Who cares, though?

Great song!

[ToulacAxeHand]

Blue Leach?

More like Toilet Bleach...

Fantastic record, Man Sized Wreath is one of my favourite from it. But the whole "Blue Leach" camera and "art" crap is just plain stupid.

[Joshe918]

This is insignificant garbage.

[ArronTheCooooolest]

stupid example? got that right. REM make fucking anything. no-one needs critic fools like you braodcasting their opinions when you've never even contributed anything to the musical world.

[stupidexample]

Actually I have you fuckin tool... at least my name isnt an idea my mom gave me.

[ArronTheCooooolest]

yep. I totally belive you've contributed to music in the same way REM have! XD and my "mom" didnt give me the idea for my name, its just something silly and random I picked. aAlso, my name had nothing to do with the argument. Talk about stuff thats relevant next time^^

[stupidexample]

Just like your reference to my name made no relevant point to the arguement..

Face it new REM blows you dumbshit.

[truefaith00]

Why don't you save yourself the heartache and watch something else?

[nospmohtekul]

Fuck off and watch some thing else then ??

[thepidepiper]

agree wit you man, yep this SUCKS,

[SALAPINA]

I love this song!!

[Khibii]

This song is just AWESOME!

[KathyBeatLennon]

oh god!

I love R.E.M.

guys: I think your last album, accelerate, is just awesome!

[Zibabouinos08]

guys! they are too far ahead from our time! their music is from the future! they rock!

[REMsleeper428]

I JUST CAME BACK FROM THEIR CONCERT AT NOKIA THEATRE IN GRAND PRAIRIE!

It was bloody amazing, and they played this song. Everyone was so happy. :]

[waltoss]

i saw them in dublin in 2005 for the live album, and in twickenham last month they never disapoint with there set list,perfect circle was a big surprise, they didnt play everybody hurts and i didnt care one bit!!

[mirobaldo]

Great song and 'Accellerate' great album!

[kemo3a]

he's so damn right!!!

[Madnursemii]

Awesome song!

But the video makes me think of Powered By The Cheat...anyone else get that vibe? XD

[pressden43]

yes

[scarface4724]

fantastic song, fantastic video, fantastic band!! they were amazing at Southampton on Wednesday, best live band ever. I also love Mr Stipe's dance moves!! so glad they have gone back to their more unique older style of REM. Been a massive fan for 15 years. They never disappoint. So glad they did so many of their older songs on Wed. Fall on me was wonderful, Let me in gave me shivers!!

[GraceFairy]

i loooooooooooove this clip!!!!!!!

[iceman9493]

so much better live

[1247888]

awesome bass

[dragondrummer15]

Who's their new drummer?

[RoadStoneStudiosINC]

Bill Rieflin, he's not exactly new and not officially a member of the band but he's their current drummer and has been since around the 'In Time' - 'Around The Sun' era.

[daneel4ever]

This video is much better than Hollow Man! Great reparation Crush!

[CodyT3212]

This song is real basic and gritty and i love it, but this video does not really match the song. I have to say i have NOT been impressed with any of their videos lately.

[oceanchild112]

i really love the pixelate effect..

and what to say about the song..REM are definitely the greatest band around,what a sound guys..

[DHamm1970]

REM is back! =)

[lizardale]

great performance in Naples! love them...thanks for Disturbance at the Heron House

[iang2643]

Great video!

Could rename it "Everything wrong with the USA in two and a half minutes", if you watch and interpret it the right way.

That and the Tienemen square references

[Kie77]

Wow, what a fresh and funky video.

Mike Mills harmonising at the end there is very REM old skool.

This album is great, I can't wait to go see 'em in Twickenham next month.

[daneel4ever]

Great video...Great song...and the greatest band of all times!

[lovestipe]

I love it :)great job!

[cassistomer]

weird...

[ffm20zaheri]

is this the official video ??

i dont like the new videos for example ,,supernatural superserious,, or ,,hollow man.,

allthough the songs are great but the videos seem to be boring

[whirlpoolzend]

I liked the symbolism.

[Chr0nict0wn]

In an interview I remember hearing Michael say old normal music videos are "absolutely boring, unoriginal, and a thing of the past. We have to embrace the new generation of music videos."

That made me quite sad as I felt the classic R.E.M. vids added another dimension to the song (Losing My Religion, Bang and Blame, Orange Crush) but in the end, they're still putting out good music correct? If you believe it's only about the video, then you really don't know what R.E.M. is.

[whirlpoolzend]

Agreed!

[skyforestrobb]

great song but seriously lame video. dire straits already use those graphics in 1984. man i wish rem would make some organic down to earth vids like they used to. this stuff got old a long time ago. too bad as the song is amazing.

[whirlpoolzend]

@sky. Those early videos were something else. 'Low' & 'Losing my Religion' being amongst my favourites.

[shittarra]

Great song from awesome Album!!!

[antVJ]

What a dull video-they ruined one of the best tracks of the new album. Please R.E.M., we've had (more than) enough with CRUSH, bring back some inspiring videos!

[RoadStoneStudiosINC]

There is a sudden change in the style of your music videos but i'm not complaining, i like them! This is a great song and i hope you play it when i see you in a few weeks!

[rpbraziliansinger]

R.E.M is the best Rock band actually!

[macskasegg]

boring shit video

[smiddlecn]

I think they did a great job of matching the images to the music...and it certainly holds your attention! I'm surprised at the quality of the video here though. I saw it posted on another site, and it was much sharper.

[thomasmoredamian]

this is like some college boy's way impress his composition instructor....how the FUCK did Stipe come to be considered the "alternative music" rock-god that he is today? maybe I'll shave my head and whimper along to hard rock guitar, and make an impression on the arty critics, too.

[spartacus4x]

Sweeeeet

[soggua79]

bellissima!!!

[iang2643]

Awesome!!

[juanvc1]

I like too much this song. It is really good. Thank you for make excellent music. When well you come to Mexico?

[Orkomagic]

I'd rather listen to Hollow Man. This is a weak song in my opinion; trite lyrics. But some may like it.

[branbruge]

great video and song. hope the public gets a listen.

[dcfcinla]

it's so easy to laugh

it's so easy to hate

it takes guts to be gentle and kind

[Stipeman]

up the rams!

[dcfcinla]

hey Stipeman..sorry I didn't reply to your 1st post RE: the new signings and to answer I say : we are going up we are going up!

[BonScottAC]

It's a song to fill the silence in the car nothing more.

[smashingmind]

!!!Fantastic!!! :)))

[armdavis]

The video is NOT DEAD!

[sweara38]

OWW!

[iamtallerthanher]

brilliant video sublime song!!!!!!

[mrblisterfist]

[sac2ase1]

GoOd ViDeO RoCk oN....

Wonderful video, thanks for posting. Must admit I miss seeing them in the video but still love it.

[Calixta007]

I looooove this song!!And of course, the video

[bitterlimeparakeet]

Brilliant! I love how artsy this video is and how it ties in with the message of the song. Well done CRUSH, and of course R.E.M. for the amazing song!

[maxspank]

Love the song! Thanks REM <3

[SuperWaffleNinja]

REM Kick ass!

[BarryBriercliffe]

I miss Michael, Peter and Mike being in their music videos!

[SuperWaffleNinja]

So do I! Bring them back, you evil 'CRUSH'!

[TheGargantuanSock]
