3.0 out of 5 stars A decent REM history, May 2, 2004
By 
Jeremy Whitman (Lafayette, Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: R.E.M.: From Chronic Town to Monster (Paperback)
Bowler and Dray have put together a nice history of the supergroup from their early days up until 1995 (Monster is the last album mentioned in this publication). They utilize some fairly extensive research on both well-known subjects and some rare information as well.

Most of this book deals with the band's liberal ideologies and business tactics used to solidify their success throughout the years, which makes for a very interesting read. The authors do become redundant often though, and I experienced deja vu many times as they repeated information frequently. There are also some intense comparisons of future and earlier situations that prevent it from being a natural and linear history.
