Accelerate

I always loved REM but have lost interst in the last so many years. I guess the music was not what I expected but this album brings them back to their roots. It is a fun album that you can listen to over and over and will remind you of the good old days of REM

Look I've read a lot of reviews and have listened to the record many times. It's not great and it's not bad. REM is band where you expect something different - hit or miss - its what you expect. Some songs are catchy, some are not. All in all a good effort. That's why the IPOD was invented to edit the stuff you dont want. buy it and enjoy

Basicamente uno de los mejores albumes de la banda, por un momento pareciera que regresas a lo mejor de la música en los 90's: Riffs grunge y tiempos agresivos con una aspera pero melodiosa ejecución vocal.
REM se reencuentra en este album y nos trae muy buen música, no sigas leyendo esto que pierdes el tiempo, simplemente pon el cd en tu carro y dejate llevar hasta alcanzar el REM.

It's an amazing return. And it was really refreshing to listen great rock again. I recommend it if you still love professionals and hate those insultant new cartoon-teen-so-called-bands from radio.

There is certainly a lot of clamor being made over this clamorous wreck of a record. R.E.M may very well be the best American band thus far but not by the merits of Accelerate. This album has no texture and no depth. If, as touted, it is a return to roots it went too far, i.e. back to the formative Athen's basement years too far. But that does not even seem to be the case because though the earliest albums might have been unintelligible they were not unintelligent. And this one is as dumb as a bag of hammers. So all the claims of "back to form" are nonsense. Accelerate is simply the new millennium's "Monster" and simply an obstreperous and cantankerous dud.
