Customer Reviews of Out of Time
Right Up There This is a great album. Right off the bat there are three great songs: "Radio Song" is catchy and quirky in its own way, "Losing My Religion" is, well, deservedly ubiquitous, and "Low" is just subtly delecable. Although I don't favor the songs where Stipe's vocals aren't too prominent, "Near Wild Heaven" is still a cheery and lively tune. "Endgame" is another of the band's keen instrumentals, helped by Stipe's odd yet beneficial vocal additions. I can't offer an unbiased opinion on "Shiny Happy People" ever since an... altered version of it appeared on Sesame Street, complete with Stipe and the band jumping around with a bunch of Muppets. I guess it shows that they're not ashamed to do that, but it still burned a strange image into my head. I've heard complaints about "Belong," but although I cannot in the least comprehend the lyrics, it's still one of my favorite songs due to the great (if lyricless) refrain and the kickin' background beat. "Half A World Away" is great. Period. Hauntingly beautiful and over far too quickly. "Texarkana" is... ok. I miss Stipe's voice, although the strings are keen. I've never really liked "Country Feedback." I dunno why. Too twangy. Or something. But I can tolerate it, and it's still better than a LOT of songs I've heard. "Me In Honey" is another upbeat, cool song that is above average in every respect.
Overall, this album is vastly superior to at least a few of R.E.M.'s others, and also to a lot of the crud that's coming out nowadays...
Too much pop for me
I got this album in my junior year in college. I remember thinking to myself at that time, "FINALLY!". I had been very disappointed with the previous two REM releases (Document and Green)since becoming a fan of the group in 1985. Well, I think I spoke too soon, because unlike some of REM's others work, I discovered that the songs start to wear thin really quick. Many songs on this collection are too overtly poppy ("Near Wild Heaven" and "Shiny Happy People"). You can only hear those songs a dozen or so times before getting sick to the stomach.
I must concede that I still like "Losing My Religion" quite a bit, even though it has been the victim of radio overplay. Another song that I think deserves kind mention is "Me in Honey". I just love the driving rhythm, and Kate Pierson's vocals complement the song nicely.
REM sells Out!
This is by far my least favorite album by the boys. I thought then and still do today, that it was a wannabe commercial, sell-out recording. It lacked the soul of their earlier albums and the innovation of their later albums. This is a great band, but they dropped the ball on this one. Too sappy!
