Title: R.E.M.'s new album- fantastic Post by: Amy B. on April 07, 2008, 03:35:22 PM Is no one listening to Accelerate? I just listened to it for the first time, and it's 34 minutes of bliss.
I have all of REM's albums and frankly, I don't think any of them are _bad_, but Accelerate is one of the best. It's so good to hear them so energized, and Mike Mills' melodic bass and high harmonies are exhilarating.

It has a lot more in common with "Monster", than with, say, "Reveal" or "Up". Call it The Return Of The Guitar. :rock Peter Buck must be a happy man.
