In the case of this survey of the second phase of R.E.M.'s career, the answer is: Exceptionally well. The dangling carrot for diehards is two new songs; the rapid fire \"Bad Day\" hurtles along like the kissing cousin of \"It's the End of the World as We Know It,\" while \"Animal\" is anchored by a majestic drone reminiscent of the Beatles' \"Tomorrow Never Knows.\" In a surprising, but gratifying move, the rest of the program shortchanges the band's breakthrough, Out of Time (no \"Shiny Happy People\"), to better accommodate movie soundtrack contributions, and spotlight gems from the less commercial, post-Bill Berry albums Reveal and Up; with its baroque piano and multi-tracked vocal harmonies, the Beach Boys homage \"At My Most Beautiful\" is particularly gorgeous, while the burbling keyboards and slightly dazed singing of \"All the Way to Reno\" will appeal to Flaming Lips fans. --Kurt B. Reighley\n\nProduct Description\n\nAfter putting Athens, GA, on the musical map in the early '80s, R.E.M. went on to become one of the world's biggest bands. Fusing folk, garage rock, pop sensibilities, and insightful lyrics delivered with Michael Stipe's inimitable lead vocals, these alt-rock forefathers built a massive indie following, and in 1988 unleashed their major-label debut, Warner Bros.' Green. This roots rock tour de force was followed in '91 by the Grammy-winning #1 blockbuster Out of Time, which led to an ongoing stream of masterpieces. These two classics, along with five more albums from R.E.M.'s extraordinary catalog-plus their retrospective Best Of-now each feature a Bonus DVD with Surround Sound audio and video extras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 093624838128\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0093624838128\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e english\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45938148638754,"sku":"62-O7UR-XWRF","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/61QWmub8qfL.jpg?v=1783590171","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/r-e-m-in-time-the-best-of-r-e-m-1988-2003-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
