This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by R.E.M.. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for R.E.M.’s new album to that on ‘Murmur’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of R.E.M. on ‘Radio Free Europe’. Murmur is not something you should pass up.
Pilgrimage - A catchy, upbeat tune. Laughing good vocals. Talk about the Passion - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Moral Kiosk is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Nice and different song. R.E.M. must have run out of lyrics on the next track Catapult. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Shaking Through is a strong cut, one of many. We Walk which is my favorite is a truly R.E.M. sounding song. West of the Fields is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. There She Goes Again to me is the best you can get from R.E.M.. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Gardening at Night (Live 20Apr84) - a classic song. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing.
