Description:
EPONYMOUS is a collection of mostly singles.
R.E.M.: Michael Stipe (vocals); Peter Buck (guitar); Mike Mills (keyboards, bass, background vocals); Bill Berry (drums).
Producers include: Mitch Easter, R.E.M., Don Dixon, Joe Boyd, Scott Litt.
EPONYMOUS collects some of the most popular tunes from R.E.M.`s first decade, some appearing in slightly different versions. Consequently, the album does double duty as a greatest-hits collection and a repository for rarities that didn`t turn up on DEAD LETTER OFFICE. Organized chronologically, EPONYMOUS offers a look at the band`s artistic development, from the Byrdsy jangle of the jumpy "Radio Free Europe" to the more laconic, country-tinged "(Don`t Go Back To) Rockville)." "Can`t Get There From Here" and "Driver 8" are simultaneously more rhythmic and more abstract, while a heavier rock sound is introduced on "The One I Love" and the closing anti-anthem "It`s the End of the World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine)." EPONYMOUS is an effective overview of the band`s early and middle periods, and a chronicle of a fiercely independent band`s marriage of commercial and artistic success.
