Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great Music, Bad CD
Waht I really want is to give 5 stars for the music, and 2.5 stars for the sound quality of the CD.

It was great to listen to some of the REM songs from for their IRS label times, like "Fall on me" and "perfect circle"...I've been wanting to listen to some early REM for a long time, and this CD has a great collection put together just for that...
HOWEVER, whoever mixed this CD must've been on crack. it's FLAT! one of the worst sounding CD's I've ever heard. There are no up/dwon ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - REM: The best of from 1988-1993
This is a 16 track CD release of the best of early on REM. It includes hits like 'Perfect Circle', 'Talk About The Passion', 'Fall On Me', and 'The one I Love'. This is specifically for the lovers of the early REM. There are some great songs and material here however the songs from the late 90's were the best for REM.

For the die hard REM fans.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An observation from an ancient one...
living in Athens during the early 80'z was an ordinary time with the exception of the nights spent downtown. the familiar territory of the first two or three discs (chronic town, murmur, reckoning...)are those which feel the most like a "best of" and most mimic the feel of those days...the swirling voice of... catapult, pretty persuasion, gardening at night. listening to radio free europe on purloined headphones while enduring a state-sponsored vacation courtesy of Bibb County, GA. explanations ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 5 STARS .... I think?
Since this CD is very difficult to get, I will have to wait nearly 9 months to receive it. I really wanted a collection of R.E.M.'s and thought this was it. If you don't mind the wait, it'll probably be worth it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Collection of early material
Best of REM is a great collection of material when REM was with IRS records covering the really stuff like radio free europe to the time when they were becoming popular with songs like it's the end of the world. Best of REM is good for those seeking to better understand REM before signing with warner brothers.
