Our Take

Ah, R.E.M.'s iconic album "Up" turns 25, and what better way to celebrate than with a reissue packed with bonus tracks and unreleased demos? It's like finding that extra curly fry at the bottom of your takeaway bag - a delightful surprise that just makes everything better.

From the moment you press play, you're immediately transported back to the late '90s, when flannel shirts and angst-ridden lyrics were all the rage. The band's experimental soundscapes and Michael Stipe's haunting vocals still hold up after all these years, proving that good music truly is timeless.

The bonus tracks on this anniversary edition offer a deeper look into the band's creative process, showcasing different versions of familiar songs and a few hidden gems that make you wonder why they didn't make the final cut. It's like peeking behind the curtain at a magic show and discovering how the trick is done.

Overall, "Up" (25th Anniversary Edition) is a must-have for any R.E.M. fan, old or new. It's a testament to the band's enduring legacy and a reminder of why they were one of the biggest names in alternative rock. So grab your headphones, press play, and let yourself be whisked away on a nostalgic journey through the music of a bygone era. Cheers to another 25 years of timeless tunes!

About the artist

R.E.M.

R.E.M. Formed in Athens, Georgia in 1980, R.E.M. took the alternative rock world by storm with their jangly guitars, enigmatic lyrics, and Michael Stipe's unmistakable vocals. Combining elements of folk, punk, and post-punk, R.E.M. created a sound that was both timeless and ahead of its time. Their 1983 debut album, "Murmur," is widely regarded as a classic of the genre, with songs like "Radio Free Europe" and "Talk About the Passion" showcasing their melodic hooks and introspective lyrics. Over the years, R.E.M. continued to push boundaries and experiment with their sound, incorporating elements of country, folk, and electronic music into their repertoire. Despite their mainstream success, the band always maintained a sense of mystery and aloofness, with Stipe's cryptic lyrics and enigmatic stage presence adding to their mystique. With hits like "Losing My Religion," "Everybody Hurts," and "Man on the Moon," R.E.M. solidified their status as one of the most influential and innovative bands of their era. After more than three decades together, R.E.M. announced their breakup in 2011, leaving behind a legacy of timeless music and a devoted fanbase. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, R.E.M.'s music is sure to leave a lasting impression. So grab your fedora, put on your best flannel shirt, and let yourself be transported to the world of R.E.M. You won't regret it.
