Aug 29, 2011REM's "pivotal" album???? Absolute hogwash.
I love REM but this is one of their weakest. There are a couple of great tracks, up to par with tracks on their best albums, Murmur, Out of Time, Automatic for the People, but this one is not a gem. Lots of dear michael sounding decidedly rockish and losing his emotion, er, his religion.

Aug 3, 2011Taken as a whole, the two-CD incarnation of Life's Rich Pageant makes a case for the album taking its rightful place alongside such obvious classics as Murmur and Out of Time.

Aug 2, 2011Life's Rich Pageant rather sweetly gathers the emotions and carries them back to the time.
