After 20 years, it's my reminisceing (and the death af a friend) of my R.E.M. days and going back and revisiting old R.E.M records (Murmor, Reckoning, Life's Rich Pageant, Fables) that has made me want to finally pick up my guitar and "try" to finally learn. Peter Buck is one of my heroes.
-
"Murmur" is and will continue to be one of my favorite albums.
-
I can't believe they'd release a finished product like this. I've been a R.E.M. fan for so many years and find Accelerate a true return to form for the band, but the sound quality is horrendous. Whoever mastered the CD needs to get fired -- ASAP.
-
I've seen those videos, looks interesting that they're working with a brass section. Also Stipe's beard is brilliant, he looks too cool with that beard, he should keep it haha
-
@BarryBriercliffe A few weeks ago on REMHQ they showed two short clips of recording. Apparently, the new album will be in a way like Monster. Accelerate was like "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" But they are recording and now Stipe has a beard (not very thick but still there) and likes straw hats. Yup!

i saw them in winnipeg 2004 i believe..and me and michael had a convo..in between songs i yell..."play find the river!!!!" stipe looks back at me and yells..."hey you!!! NO!!! " Man it was great!! :D

i'm a little unnerved by the fact that they have said several times in this interview that they are almost ashamed of their previous work.At least that's my take on it.

@kaliyuta they are talking about the work they did after Bill Berry left 1998 onwards... they're not saying they are ashamed of the stuff they did from 1998 onwards, they are just saying it took them a long time to get used to working as a three piece without Bill and that Accelerate felt like they'd finally settled into being a 3 piece band.

@BarryBriercliffe i get and understand and respect that point.however it seemed as though they were saying that Albums like Murmur,reckoning,and so on are a distant and far past that they dnt want to acknowledge or something.

@kaliyuta Judging from what Stipe says I don't think he's saying they are ashamed of their old work, I would say that they just didn't want to repeat themselves and wanted to keep developing and growing as a band and wanted a producer who would help them. Accelerate for me personally was the best album they've made since Up.
