Title: The New Pageant
Product review: I just recently listened to this record again and have to say that I think it contains some of REM's best work since Pageant. The only songs I could have done without are "Departure" "Binky the Doormat" and "Low Desert". "Bittersweet Me" and "The Wake-Up Bomb" are classic REM songs that show that REM can rock in different ways then the distortion drenched sounds of Monster. I think if REM had edited the album down a little more, this would be their 90s equivalent of Pageant with an updated sound.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
