 Not quite supernatural, but still quite superb, nonetheless! February 27, 2008
This is what a track from 'Document' would sound like if it were written now, rather than 1987. And that is indeed a good thing because R.E.M. most definitely sound like a rock band again. Its very refreshing to hear those jangly, fuzz pedal guitars of Peter Buck and listen to Mike Mills finally harmonize with Michael again. The mix is great and every instrument, including Michael's voice are perfectly mixed like they used to be...it just sounds so democratic again. I love it. Lets hope the album is as good as the single. Welcome back boys!

I'm not sure I fully buy in to the current trend of writing off R.E.M in the 90s and hailing Accelerate as a triumphant return to 80s form on the strength of a few reviews of some live Dublin rehearsals last summer. The 90s were not poor. Reveal and New Adventures in Hi-Fi rank among the band's very finest work, Leaving New York, the intro single from the last album, was vintage. This single, everything a fan could want it to be, hints that the band are still very much on top of their game. At first it sounds like R.E.M by numbers, but it's built on a scuzzy guitar riff, features Michael Stipe in a breathy word fest, and is blanketed in trademark harmonies. It sounds great on the radio and after a handful of hearings is etched as a top notch R.E.M track. Wonderful.
Super! February 26, 2008

I've been a massive fan of R.E.M for many years now and although I do love most of the stuff they have done, the last 2 albums (Reveal and Around the Sun) were lacking something that really made the many other albums that they have done be so memorable and re-listenable. With Supernatural Superserious however they have gone back to their old, fun style again and have come up with a real winner here, with a similar sound to classics like Bad Day and Lotus. I just hope that this is a taster of how brilliant the rest of the new album, Accelerate, is going to be, as if the rest of the album is going to be this good it could be one of their best yet.
A Brilliant Return To Form February 24, 2008

After the relative disappointment of Around The Sun, many fans and music lover alike will be pleasantly surprised by this track, I certainly was! For the first time in a decade, they sound like a rock band again, and thats what they're all about so well done them!
Just as an aside, to the previous reviewer... are you reviewing the single or REM over the last 10 years?
 Being boring February 22, 2008

Is it just me or have R.E.M. really become such ultimate bores? I found their last two albums tedious to the extreme (with the exception of no more than two tracks each), and even "Up" and "New Adventures In Hi-Fi" had quite a number of naff tracks. What happened to the vibe that made us all instantly fall in love with songs like "Kenneth" or "Radio Song", like "Sidewinder" or "Pop Song", like "Find The River" or "World Leader Pretend", like bloody well nearly all of their older material? This song here is boring American rock that can only be filed under "Adult Rock". The band plays, Stipe sings, but it doesn't touch me anymore. Sad and disappointing.
