Latest R.E.M. 180g 1LP Reissues From Craft Recordings Focus on Two Somewhat Underappreciated But Quite Spin-Worthy 21st Century Albums, 2001's Classic-Tinged Reveal and 2008's Punk-Leaning Accelerate

R.E.M. was a powerhouse in the 1980s and ’90s, but after drummer Bill Berry retired due to health considerations not long after September 1996’s New Adventures in Hi-Fi, many folks I knew back in the day seemed to hit the pause button on their level of interest in the group. Despite significant bona-fide hits and strong concert sellouts, there was an odd buzz in some circles that things were more or less over for R.E.M. at the time.
