Full review
Out of Time was the 1991 release which saw REM’s explosion onto the world stage.
Featuring songs of the likes of “Radio Song”, “Near Wild Heaven” and “Shiny Happy People” it boasts songs of a superb quality, although it is a lot less heavy than the band’s recent releases.
Of course the most famous song on this album is “Losing My Religion”. It is possibly the strongest example on the album of singer Michael Stipe’s ability to make a song come alive. There is something about the way he sings it which makes it what it is, yet it is vastly different to his singing on “Shiny Happy People”.
The band show versatility and style, but most of all they present excellent music.
