Album

Reveal is the 12th studio album by American alternative rock band . released in May 14, 2001 on Warner Bros. After having adjusted to former drummer Bill Berry's departure and releasing Up to mixed response in 1998, . released the more upbeat Reveal, co-produced with long-time collaborator Patrick McCarthy. Because Reveal is song-oriented, it initially plays more accessibly than Up, but these songs are cloaked in the same kind of deliberate studiocraft that made Up feel stilted. It's not as overt, of course - the drum machines and loops have taken a backseat - but it's still possible to hear the clipped Pro Tools effects on Summer Turns to High, for instance, and most tracks are a little fussy in their aural coloring. Listen free to . Reveal The Lifting, I've Been High and more. 12 tracks 53:46. The lead single, Imitation of Life, became another U. Top 10 hit as well as the band's first number one single in Japan, but floundered at the bottom of the U. singles charts. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassistbacking vocalist Mike Mills, and lead vocalist Michael Stipe. One of the first alternative rock bands, . was noted for Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, Stipe's distinctive vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Mills's melodic basslines and backing vocals, and Berry's tight, economical style of drumming.

What makes Reveal so disappointing is that the additions to the classic . sound are all merely superficial. The increased reliance on burbling, jittering synthesizers actually makes the album a less engaging listen, turning many of its songs into messy sonic muddles. There are no such moments to be found on Reveal. The album is so muddled and repetitive that it's almost impossible to pick out any kind of individual moments within the album's framework. When I put on most . albums and close my eyes, my mind is flooded with crystalline imagery, with miniature explosions, with the very moments of clarity that Stipe described when I put on Reveal and close my eyes, I fall asleep. Reveal is a sweet album, indeed. Great modern pop album. It's funny, if REM were a new band people would be like OMG, fantastic. Because on it's own terms this is good stuff. But since it's REM people go, meh. Oh, and New Adventures In Hi - Fi is an underrated gem, IMO. If no one has done it yet, here I come with it. Pechorin February 2nd 2006
