R.E.M. have always been on the right side of social and political and environmental issues. I’ve always been really proud of them for it. It kinda blows my mind that they’re still making me proud all these years later.

This is great! I hope to hear the B-sides as well.
(And that this raises a lot of money for Radio Free Europe)

OK, first post, I’m strangely nervous, but here goes…
The JKL version doesn’t hold a candle to the original, but it was a thrill to see it pop up last Friday. The world needs more voices, and it’s good that REM are still making theirs heard in 2025.

I must admit, listening to the Jacknife Lee mix does make me wonder if it’s worth getting Mitch Easter to remix the last two R.E.M. albums. Maybe they weren’t as bad as they seem…

I love the last 2 albums but I get where your coming from. Definitely would be interesting!

I don’t have an issue with CIN, but Accelerate definitely needs to be remastered and de-brickwalled. The compression on that is terrible (but I get that’s how the band wanted it at the time - probably to punish fans for being mean about ATS . . . I’m kidding - LOL.)
