Typical REM with unique sound. Contains four of their best hits.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This album is less commercial than some of their later stuff. Unlike many of their albums this one doesn't follow a theme, rather it explores different aspects of R.E.M. seeming to flit from one theme to another with each track. It's for this reason I would consider it a classic, rather than a classic filled with R.E.M.esque anthems. A must for any true R.E.M. fan and a give it a miss for those preferring R.E.M's poppy or catchy tunes. More of an introspective listen, as opposed to a motivate yourself to party album.
Lifes Rich Pageant was a taste of the real greatness that was to come from the fantastic REM. You can see the band finding their own level and the vocals are much more clear and confident. This is a solid set of songs and although none of the truly great REM masterpieces are here is is a must own for the true fan. 4 Stars.
This CD is a must for any REM fan. It is my favorite one. It has that old classic college radio sound. It is socially conscious without being preachy. There are several great songs on this album.
