"Imitation Of Life" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.While the preceding UP equaled Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, and Peter Buck spending their studio time painstakingly stitching songs together via multiple overdubs, REVEAL finds the Athens trio playing together in the studio along with hired guns Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows), Ken Stringfellow (The Posies), and drummer Joey Waronker (Beck). In bouncing back from drummer Bill Berry's departure, the group has emerged with a warm-sounding record bubbling over with dreamy pop songs. From the opening number "The Lifting," with its swirling textures, sparse piano, and Stipe's plainspoken enunciation, R.E.M. serve up heaping dollops of aural manna. Among the many highlights are the throbbing twang-and-strum of "All The Way To Reno (You're Gonna Be A Star)," which sounds like Mark Knopfler fronting The Flaming Lips, and the faux PET SOUNDS-outtake "Summer Turns To High" with its shimmering keyboards and Stipe's casual falsetto. Elsewhere, R.E.M. fuse Stax-flavored horns, swooping strings, and a cheap-sounding drum machine for the lighter-than-air "Beachball," and set off on a soaring flight of Rickenbacker guitar jangle soaked in strings and synths on "Imitation Of Life." REVEAL represents R.E.M's rebirth as a mellifluous pop engine.

This Auction is for the "REVEAL" by Supergroup R.E.M. on CD.

I bought this Album when it first came out back in 2001 and have had it all this time in my collection, however due to lack of space I am having to prune my Music collection.

This CD was played prior to listing on a brand new CD Player and it played all the way through without any problems.

Please see the tracklisting above for further details.

There are some scuff marks and scrapes here and there on the front of the case but you would only see them clearly by tilting it under the light. All the pieces of the case are there with no breakages or pieces missing.

I'm an honest eBayer and would never list something which I didn't think was up to scratch. I am very protective of my possessions and like to take care of my CDs and DVDs especially.

I always combine postage for my items.
