Best Ever Albums - 2,000 - 1,001 - 1,589 R.E.M. - Up

 


Where R.E.M. went after Bill Berry pack up his sticks and made for the departure gate. Released in 1998 it sounds like nothing quite as much as a CD. There's something unmustakeably lengthy about some of the records from this era, as if they were barely intended to be listened through at a single sitting.

Still, I make no ttempt to disguis my undiluted love and affection for these guys and after Berry left this was a creditable effort. They always tried to do something different from what they'd done and although not everything works there is plenty that does.
