CBS News – “R.E.M. will release its 14th studio album this week, their music showing a renewed urgency and velocity. An answer, perhaps, to critics who suggested the band was showing signs of old age.”

Boston Globe – “It’s been a difficult decade for R.E.M., creatively and personally, and everyone knows it. Peter Buck, the band’s guitarist, who sat down to talk earlier in a dressing room, says that if any of them had been thinking rationally they would have scrapped “Around the Sun” and started over again. Stipe begs to differ.”
I can’t wait to see them live! Go Athens boys!
Update – You can listen to yet another show here.
Update 2 – And today is the day that you can listen to the album on ilike.
Telegraph – “Hooray! After more than a decade in the doldrums, during which REM have released a series of well-intentioned but increasingly dull albums, they’ve come up with a corker.”
Rolling Stone – “Accelerate is the first studio album by that post-Berry stage band, and it is one of the best records R.E.M. have ever made.” (Thanks Connie)
