About
Slowing to chew over mortality and loss, R.E.M. produce their masterpiece. After the vim and lushness of 1991’s <i>Out of Time</i>, these songs are strikingly reflective. However they’re tethered to gorgeous melodies that rise like a lump in the throat on “Try Not to Breathe”, and pull you in with a consoling arm on “Everybody Hurts” and “Nightswimming”’s mournful nostalgia. The politicised “Ignoreland” ignites energy and rage but this is largely beautiful melancholy demanding to be immersed in.
