Product Description

R.E.M. marked their 20th anniversary as a band with 2001's Reveal. Their twelfth studio album was widely acclaimed for its melodic, layered sounds and made many of the year-end "Best-of" lists. Reveal went gold in the US, and platinum in the UK, and featured GRAMMY-nominated single "Imitation of Life": a top 10-hit in the UK and Canada, and the band's first #1 single in Japan.

Amazon.com

R.E.M. have no right at this advanced stage in their career to be making such a spirited and beautiful album as Reveal. Twenty years after "Radio Free Europe," they're still jiggy as year-old pups. Reveal is the sound of a band that's beyond feeling the need to change or to prove themselves to each new generation, but retains its passion. Michael Stipe's voice is at its most evocatively beautiful on "I've Been High," and Peter Buck's eclectic tunes continue along the highly accessible vein mined on 1998's Up. Stipe continues his emergence as an up-front vocalist whose lyrics, if never entirely self-explanatory, now make ingenious use of more readily identifiable phrases, images, and vignettes. Hovering over much of the album is the spirit of Brian Wilson, whose genius is echoed in "Beachball" and almost transcended in the astonishingly plangent "Summer Turns to High." With so much to live up to, it's not far short of astonishing that R.E.M. can still come up with a song such as the gorgeously chiming and shimmering "Imitation of Life," which, on its own, is worth the price of admission. But, from the first synthesizer swirls of the opener "The Lifting" onward, there's nary a dud to be heard on Reveal. --Johnny Black

5.0 out of 5 stars "All I Really Want Is Just to Live My Life on High..."
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2014
Verified Purchase
I always felt bad for R.E.M. after drummer Bill Berry left the group in 1997. Not because I didn't think the band was capable of going on without him but rather that few ever really gave their music a chance after that. With each release it seemed that fans and critics were quick to comment that the band was past its glory days and was drifting aimlessly through tired experiments and mediocre songwriting. While there's no arguing that Berry was an essential part of the band I also believe R.E.M. made some of their best and more creative music in his absence. With Reveal it seemed the remaining three members had made peace with his departure and had found a method that worked for them, resulting in what I think is arguably their best and most exuberant effort.

What makes this record so engrossing is the atmosphere it creates. The production, while layered and heavy with electronic touches and multiple instruments, is effervescent and warm. Each track is wrapped in a blanket of rich vocals and sonic progression that gives it a distinct summertime feel. In this sense Reveal is exactly what it looks to be: a bright pop album that is best enjoyed cruising around town on a sunny day. It has the effect of lifting you out of where you are and putting you somewhere else, which is no easy feat, yet I think that often the best music is able to do that. It's escapism but it has a purpose and it invites you to experience the journey for yourself.

The opening songs are a great example, from the jubilant highs of "The Lifting" (which is actually a sequel to Up's "Daysleeper"), the tender and gorgeous "I've Been High", and the poppy "All the Way to Reno (You're Gonna Be a Star)". The hit "Imitation of Life" manages to combine the band's trademark sound with a more modern touch. These songs seem simple, and perhaps at their core they are, but underneath they're brimming with creativity and a zest to experience all that life has to offer. The softer ballads manage to also impress. "Saturn Return" is driven by gentle piano and "Summer Turns to High" beams with electronic loops. "I'll Take the Rain" is beautiful and "Beat a Drum" is not only my favorite on the album but one of my favorite R.E.M. ever. It's a Beach Boys-esque number that gives Michael Stipe's voice room to shine and finds the band at their melodic best. Add to that the haunting "Chorus and the Ring", the gentle "She Just Wants to Be", and the more layered touches on "Disappear" and "Beachball" and you have a record that's nearly flawless from beginning to end. Every track works and it flows perfectly from start to finish. I can't find a fault with anything here.

In terms of underrated records this may be the band's most overlooked and forgotten album, which is a shame when you look at just how much it has to offer. It's beautiful, fun, and relaxing, making it the quintessential summer record. Those expecting the intensity of Lifes Rich Pageant or Document may be let down but R.E.M. was never a band intent on repeating themselves. This is a mature and sophisticated record that finds the trio firing on all cylinders. It's my second-favorite of theirs, with only Fables of the Reconstruction managing to top it. This is a special record to me and one that has only grown in esteem over time. I never tire of listening to it.

Turn it up, feel the sunlight on your face, and let it wash over you. That's the way it's meant to be experienced.

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD-A at its finest. Wish this format had taken off as it sounds incredible.
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2016

This is a review for the DVD-A format of one of the greatest bands that is still making music. I grew up listening to R.E.M. And remember seeing them live on several ocassions at William & Mary Hall in Williamsburg VA. when I use to live in Norfolk VA. I have nearly ever R.E.M. Album, Cd, MFSL vinyl and a few Japanese imports on both vinyl and CD. I also have some of the rare fan club releases as well.

This DVD-A format is by far the best sounding version of this perticular title. R.E.M. was one of the first artist to adopt this format and I have all of the titles that are available. On a good high end Surround Sound system, this DVD-A sounds as if you are sitting in the middle of a private gig or at a recording session. My favorite song's on this release are " All The Way To Reno" and "Imitation Of Life". I like the whole disc , it's not my favorite release by R.E.M., but listening to this in 5.1 Dolby DTS sound is incredible and has brought new life to an album I use to regard as mediocre. The sound is emersing and the other songs really have started growing on me. The best DVD-A album by R.E.M. is , in my opinion, "Automatic For The Peolpe". But this disc is a must have for any fan of R.E.M.'s music. Even if you don't have a 5.1 system, it will play on most DVD players in stereo as well.

By all means, if you are a fan of R.E.M. And have a decent surround sound system, you will not be dissapointed in this DVD-A format. I wish there where several other artist that released their music on this format as I find that they sound far superior to the 50 or so SACD disc that I own. I play these on an Oppo BDP-105 Darbee edition Multi format player. It plays DVD, SACD, Blu-Ray and even pulls movies and music from a dedicated server we have in a closet server rack. It's not a cheap player, but it's a lot cheaper than a dedicated SACD player that only plays SACDs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have we missed the big Reveal?
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2014

This is only a 4 star album to me, but I give it 5 stars here because of how criminally underrated it is. Some R.E.M. purists will say that there were no good albums released after Automatic, and some will even go as far as to say that Murmur or Reckoning were their last good albums. Nostalgia is good, and everyone has their own opinion, but this album shouldn't be thrown off as garbage without even listening to it a few times! If you still don't like it than that's fine, but it's definitely worth a try.
To me it was an acquired taste. The only songs I knew from Reveal were All The Way To Reno and Imitation of Life, and I really didn't like them that much. Listening through, though, I actually found that this strange collection held a few masterpieces. My absolute favorites are still: The Lifting, Beat A Drum, and I'll Take The Rain, three unknowns that became some of my favorite R.E.M. songs. Most of the other songs have grown on me - tracks I had never heard before such as I've Been High, She Just Wants To Be, Saturn Return, Disappear, and Chorus And The Ring. The only track I really can't enjoy much is Beachball, and it's unfortunate that such a great album had to end on a sour note, especially after it's perfect start with The Lifting. Overall, the album has a feel that isn't quite comparable to Automatic, but carries the same haunting calmness to it that I came to appreciate. While it doesn't top Murmur, Automatic, or New Adventures in my mind, this album will always hold a special place for me.

Well of course it's a matter of individual taste but I think Reveal is packed with memorable songs, not ground breaking but just great songs. I'll Take The Rain is particularly gorgeous and Imitation Of Life is their best pop song, beating Shiny Happy People.
