Music reviews of In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 (Special Edition)
Music Review: R.E.M.: The Ballads
Rating: 3 Stars
This collection should be called "R.E.M.: The Ballads 1988-2003." Almost all of the selections are slow songs, and even though the songs themselves are mostly great (except for some mediocre recent material like "The Great Beyond" and "All the Way to Reno"), the band comes off as wimpy balladeers when they were much, much more than that. Where's "Bittersweet Me"? Where's "Lotus"? If not for the inclusion of "Orange Crush" and "Bad Day," you might think that R.E.M. just completely forgot how to rock out after they signed to Warners. Combined with the awkward track sequencing, it makes for a frustrating listen.
The bonus disc includes some cool stuff, but probably not a lot that a dedicated fan hasn't heard before.
All in all, these songs work much better in the context of R.E.M.'s full-length albums than on this one-dimensional assemblage. Representing all sides of R.E.M.'s music would have resulted in a stronger, more listenable compilation.
Description of In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 (Special Edition)
SPECIAL EDITION: The two-CD set adds a 16-selection CD of rarities, including live and acoustic versions of some of R.E.M.'s most popular songs, and a 40-page booklet.How do you condense 15 years of music down to 76 minutes? 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
This expanded edition covering the band's first decade-and-a-half at Warner now includes a DVD featuring a new 5.1 surround sound mix of all the album's tracks. That new bonus disc also features an October, '03 Vancouver rehearsal of the new song "Bad Day" that allows viewers the unique experience of switching between four different camera angles. Also includes the smart, network-news spoofing video for the same track.
