 Rockin! June 19, 2008

This cd is good! It is harder than the usual REM stuff. I like the edgier stuff like this as compared to the bubblegum pop stuff that the commons tend to enjoy. It reminds me of the older stuff they did back in the early 80's.
 R.E.M. induces sleep...give it up. June 19, 2008

I used to LOVE this band. I anticipated their every new release with anticipation. I've seen them live 3 times including an early tour in New Orleans in which Michael Stipe mumbled behind his assymetrical hair for 2-3 hours. It was great. Since the drummer left they have been mediocre with occasional impressive outings like Reveal. They should retire and go onto full time solo careers. This disc is mediocre and embarrassing. I'm watching them right now on Austin City Limits embarrass themselves. They're destroying their legacy. Make this the end.
REM With Balls! June 18, 2008

Their social perspective hasn't changed but their sound on this CD is much more intense and rapid-fire than anything they've done recently.
Their best work since, "Automatic For The People"!
Not great, but good June 17, 2008

Accelerate is too short, poorly produced, highly derivative and not as good as some of REM's other albums (personal favourite: New Adventures). On the other hand, there are no rubbish instrumentals, the sound "rocks", every tune is catchy (personal favourite: I'm Gonna DJ) and it is easily their best album since, well, New Adventures. Awesome live show too.
Another winner! June 15, 2008

A success from the start. I especially enjoyed "Mr.Richards"... wonderful vocals. Anyone used to REMs typical Top Ten stuff will be pleasantly suprised.....
