Getting back to the Best,
By Philip Petch (Stellenbosch, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Beyond (Audio CD)
With the release of this single ( and I recommend getting the Maxi-Single ) R.E.M. is definitely getting back to the music that made them one of the greatest bands in the last decade or so. The Great Beyond has all the qualities that made many of the tracks on Green, Out of Time and Automatic special. It appears to be complex lyrically, but upon closer inspection has beautiful images and glimpses into Andy's life. On the maxi it is a pleasure to hear Everybody Hurts and in particular The One I Love performed live in the UK. I believe that R.E.M. have a great song here. Get it.

Four Classics,
This review is from: The Great Beyond (Audio CD)
After tuning my car radio frantically searching for this song, and then driving a mile out of my way and back to my house just so I could hear it, I finally gave up and bought the CD. "The Great Beyond" is a wonderful example of musicality - especially the refrain's continuation of a single syllable over two half-step notes - that mystifies the listener. Were "The Great Beyond" the only recording on this single, I'd be happy and would have bought it. But the Maxi-CD recording also boasts three classic songs from a live recording. In their infinite wisdom, "The Great Beyond" and "Man on the Moon" are placed as tracks one and four, so that the listener will not mistake the one song for the other. A good addition to anyone's musical library.

a Great deal Beyond any expectations!,
This review is from: The Great Beyond (Audio CD)
The Great Beyond is an upbeat, catchy song (true, it does take a few listens). It's reminiscent of the material on Up; it sounds vaguely similar to Daysleeper. However, the real treat of this single are the live songs. If you liked the album versions of One I Love, Everybody Hurts, and Man On The Moon, you will be blown away by the impassioned performances of these three songs. Absolutely a must for R.E.M. fans.
