Reviews"...UP is the sound of the band trying to reshape its sound and vision. Their solution is to focus on mid-tempo, or often no-tempo, hymns and ballads. The shift suits them..." - Rating: A-, "...a look back and a dream forward from the greatest rock-ballad band that ever existed....Buck and Mills have orchestrated their rock as never before. Losing Berry has allowed R.E.M. to literally think outside the rock box...", 8 (out of 10) - "...UP floats away from R.E.M.'s past moorings in weighty, enigmatic symbolism....UP's lushly arranged tunes show off Stipe at his most, er, beautiful; narcissistic retreat into private space, a self-indulgence for some celebs, is a necessity for him...", Ranked #15 on Spin's List of "Top 20 Albums of '98.", - Stars (out of 5) - "...R.E.M.'s great knack is to make everything they play sound organic....Up's bashfulness brings with it a peculiar grace....there is a market for warped, experimental rock music as beautiful as this..."
Additional InformationRather than giving up following the departure of drummer Bill Berry, the remaining members of R.E.M. reinvented themselves and released UP, a stunning album of dark vulnerability and experimentalism.
