R.E.M. Album by Album
R.E.M. - Book - by Max Pilley
(2023)
From
cowering, introverted founders of the alternative rock movement to one
of the twenty best-selling American bands of all time, the story of
R.E.M. covers three decades, two generations and the passions of
millions. First, they lifted a humble, Southern college town into myth,
re-calibrating rock music at the moment that it threatened to reach the
point of terminal excess, and then, unsatisfied, they carried their
progressive ideology right into the heart of mainstream popular culture,
selling over 85 million records and winning universal acclaim along the
way, totally without compromise.
R.E.M.
Album by Album tells that story, tracing the band from its formation in
1980 when four young men sought respite from the difficulties of real
life by starting a covers band, right up until their eventual split in
2011, shedding new light on the lyrical and musical development of the
band as artists, from their esoteric early masterpieces to the moment
that they signed the world's largest ever recording contract. For the
very first time, too, we examine the first decade after the band's
demise, scrutinising the shifting sands of their legacy as the dust
settles on one of pop music's most extraordinary careers.
