Fast Lane, I want fun

The latest album of REM is much faster, more rock, punky and more playful than its predecessors. So you have not seen the band since the album "Monster"! I had already thought, REM can only soulful beautiful songs preferred writing in 6/8 time, but I was wrong: The first song "Living Well Is The Best Revenge" is here equal to the upstream and pushes neatly on the Tube! Such a pace you can then not persevere and so REM turn in "Man-sized Wreath" two courses back before with the single "Supernatural Supersonic" again ride is taken.
Of course, even in a quiet, slow pieces on the album, such as "Sing For The Submarine" ', "Until The Day Is Done" and "Houston"', where you can lie back and relax. The fast-paced rock, which is an excellent for jumping around, but predominates. Other examples would be '' Hollow Man '', '' Accelerate '' or '' Horse To Water ''. Most of the pieces are composed in minor keys, which is why the album sounds a whole serious and pleading by the fast pace of most songs, Assertive, almost ill or aggressive sounds.
Accelerate is indeed accelerate. And do REM here really!
