Jul 15, 2011I assume this is showing up under "Current Music Releases" for some kind of re-release. It doesn't matter to me, I always thought this was a great band finding its accessibility stride. From Begin the Begin through Swan Swan H and culminating in Superman there isn't a single misstep. Simply a classic.

Jul 17, 2011Important release for sure, but i think Metacritic should stop putting reissues and greatest hits records under current releases and on the top rated music of the year.

Apr 6, 2012Vintage early R.E.M and this has some of their best work (The wonderful Fall On Me and Cuyahoga are on it). They went on to produce much better records than this but this is probably their first really great album. It's the sound of a young and exciting band and I think this was the record where they seemed to discover their unmistakable style here, that match of quality tunes and great lyrics.

Oct 18, 2012That's music! And R.E.M. have done also much better during their career. It's the best of the I.R.S. years, after Murmur. There are many wonderful songs, and Cuyahoga and Fall On Me are especially great. After Life's Rich Pageant teir sound begins to change album after album, so I think it's the one of the last with R.E.M.'s original sound. Don't miss it!

Feb 23, 2022На этом альбоме имеется, пожалуй, лучшая песня «Fall on Me». За счёт неё и уйму других песен на альбоме он заслуживает быть одним из лучших в дискографии группы.

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.
