R.E.M. marked the point when post-punk turned into alternative rock. When their first single,
"Radio Free Europe," was released in 1981, it sparked a back-to-the-garage movement in the American
underground. While there were a number of hardcore and punk bands in the U.S. during the early '80s,
R.E.M. brought guitar pop back into the underground lexicon. Combining ringing guitar hooks with
mumbled, cryptic lyrics and a D.I.Y. aesthetic borrowed from post-punk, the band simultaneously sounded
traditional and modern. Though there were no overt innovations in their music, R.E.M. had an identity
and sense of purpose that transformed the American underground. Throughout the '80s, they worked
relentlessly, releasing records every year and touring constantly, playing both theaters and backwoods dives.
Along the way, they inspired countless bands, from the legions of jangle pop groups in the mid-'80s
to scores of alternative pop groups in the '90s, who admired their slow climb to stardom.
Where previous R.E.M. records captured a stripped-down, live sound, Out of Time was lush with
sonic detail, featuring string sections, keyboards, mandolins, and cameos from everyone from
rapper KRS-One to the B-52's' Kate Pierson. The scope of R.E.M.'s ambitions is impressive, and
the record sounds impeccable, its sunny array of pop and folk songs as refreshing as Michael Stipe's decision
to abandon explicitly political lyrics for the personal. Several R.E.M. classics --
including Mike Mills' Byrds-y "Near Wild Heaven," the haunting "Country Feedback,"
and the masterpiece "Losing My Religion" -- are present...(AllMusic)
