Did REM lose their touch with Accelerate?
After such a long time, is this what we were looking for?
It doesn't really sound like them, does it?
I know what you mean. It doesn't really sound like classic R.E.M. (say, "Automatic for the People"). On the other hand, classic R.E.M doesn't sound like the early R.E.M. (say, "Reckoning"). And they haven't sounded like classic R.E.M. for a while now. So they keep reinventing themselves. I think that if you give "Accelerate" a chance, you'll like it.
Got an answer for Veronica? Would you like to comment on the posted answers, or vote for the one which you think is the best?
