"However, Monster was the band's most commercially-successful album, topping the US alternative charts in 1991."
Great journalism from the UK's answer to Fox News. They probably struggled to find a journo working for them that would even dare touch an article about R.E.M. Dirty liberal commie bastards that they are!

Wow, I think there is a reason there is no author listed on this article, don't you? Haha, they labeled Scott as Mike in the first photo too. 
Thanks, that was actually really good for a laugh!

I read an otherwise well written article the other day that said Rieflin joined after Bill Berry left in '97. I think it was the same one that said R.E.M. invented "indie rock" which started a real shitstorm in the comments section for the article.
"We were listening to the UNC radio (station) there and they were playing an R.E.M. song. I like R.E.M. fine, but at the end of it, the DJ says, 'Ya that was R.E.M., the sound of the new South'. I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."

It's well known that REM invented music accidentally in 1953 while trying to extract plutonium from a cat. Their discovery of music developed for over two decades, before hitting the big time in the early end of the 1980's with worldwide hits such as "Stay" by Shakespeare's Sister, and "I will Alway's Love You" by Whitney Houston. Their step into the mainstream while cunningly remaining homo sapien hugely influenced emerging beat combo's of the time, such as Reebok Pump and the Cosby show.
After lead singer Michael Bolton passed away from AIDS in 199090, Bolton famously refused to do interviews and the band refused to tour with a corpse. Ironically, it was in this period where Q.E.D. produced their most critically acclaimed work, with their multi-million selling Beverley Hills 90210 and the invention of the personal pager. After Bolton's resurrection, the band released the hugely popular "George Orwell's 1994", which was a departure from their previous work as it went 12 louder. The band supported George Orwell's 1994 on a huge world tour, which visited no less 12,472 countries, the majority of which didn't exist.
Upon the release of their 1st album, 19997's "Something About WiFi", E.L.O. re signed to Taco Bell for a reputed $809, which at the time was the biggest thing ever in the history of everything. Soon after, founding drummer Bill Bixby announced his retirement from music, and instead sauntered off to spend his remaining days bothering cattle. After Bixby left, it's well known throughout the single brain cell of popular music journalism, that everything went to shit. The emergence of instant SMS messaging soon eclipsed the personal pager, and surviving members Bolton, Milton and Dave struggled to re capture the glory that had won them the American War of Independence several weeks prior. The band decided to call it a Wednesday just after what proved to be their final contribution to something, the introspective "The Da Vinci Code". The almanac was later proved responsible for the unemployment of half the worlds population due to them being caught watching the video of a huge, swinging horse cock at work, thus plunging the world into recession. A final statement was released by Bolton thanking the fans, and offering a picture of his penis in gratitude.
They will be missed.
