5.0 out of 5 stars A superb collection of R.E.M. videos, October 4, 2000

This review is from: R.E.M. - Pop Screen (DVD)

Another DVD that shows why R.E.M. is one of greatest bands in history. This DVD shows the diverse musical feats that they are capable of. The videos range from the silly Stand to more serious songs like Orange Crush. The track list is The One I Love, It's The End of the World As We Know It, Finest Worksong, Talk About the Passion, Orange Crush, Stand, Turn You Inside Out, Pop Song 89, and Get Up. My only complaint about the DVD is that it's only 32 minutes long. However, the fact that the videos on the DVD are so excellent and diverse more than makes up for that one small complaint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic videos, August 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: R.E.M. - Pop Screen (DVD)

Pop Screen displays REM's videos at their most experimental. It is a true statement of Michael Stipe's artisitc vision.

The videos run the spectrum for silly pop (Stand) to a very sinister and hauntingly gorgeous meditation on war (Orange Crush). In between we have a nudity (Pop Song 89), homelessness (Talk about the Passion), a boy and a dog (Its the End of the World as we Know It) and even Michael's sister (The One I Love).

A must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Early R.E.M. Videos, March 10, 2005

Veritas "Veritas" - See all my reviews

This review is from: R.E.M. - Pop Screen (DVD)

There are reviews listing which tracks are included, so I will not waste your time relisting them. This DVD includes the earlier R.E.M. videos (Michael Stipe with lots of hair, pre the half buzz-cut/long braid down the back, which was followed by the short cut which was followed by the current shaven dome). These videos are accused of being amatuerish in sophistication when compared to the multi-million dollar videos that are shot today, however this video does have artistic merit. These are the videos I remember watching in my disgruntled youth and being so impressed that R.E.M. had actually made it onto MTV. Pop Song 89 is on this disc in its original version which MTV refused to show because of the topless female dancers without "black barring" the bare breasts. True to form, rumor has it, Stipe insisted on having his chest black barred as well.

If you are not a hard core R.E.M. fan you can probably do without this DVD (unless you are truly interested in the progression of the Stipe-do). I would suggest "Parellel", (which is excellent) or "In Time" which are more what the mainstream consider R.E.M.
