Product description

R.E.M.'s 2004 release, Around The Sun, is a captivating collection of tracks that showcases the band's signature blend of jangle pop, alternative rock, and rock. Released on 1 January 2004 via Concord Records, this 55-minute album takes listeners on a sonic journey through a diverse range of emotions and themes.

From the opening notes of 'Leaving New York' to the closing strains of the title track, 'Around The Sun', R.E.M. demonstrate their mastery of crafting infectious, guitar-driven melodies and introspective lyrics. Tracks like 'Electron Blue' and 'The Outsiders' showcase the band's ability to craft soaring, anthemic choruses, while 'Make It All Okay' and 'Final Straw' reveal a more contemplative side to their songwriting.

Throughout the album, Michael Stipe's distinctive vocals bring a sense of urgency and intimacy to the proceedings, whether he's exploring themes of social commentary ('The Worst Joke Ever') or personal relationships ('I Wanted To Be Wrong'). With its eclectic mix of styles and moods, Around The Sun is a testament to R.E.M.'s enduring creativity and their ability to craft music that is both timeless and timely.

This 2023 Reissue 2LP set is housed in a gatefold, pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Folk Feel Overlooked

    5 out of 5 stars
    fbagobkdyirmNovember 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Overlooked…even by the musicians. I'm fond of the subtle folk feel that runs through the whole thing.

    While not their best work, I gotta admit, the sound quality is top-notch!

  • Overlooked Vinyl Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    WaunswaponMay 15, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Well, I've finally got this stunning album on vinyl, and to top it off, I've got the white edition which I absolutely adore. Such an overlooked record. I'm over the moon.

  • Sound Quality Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    slhacenFebruary 2, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Nothing to complain about. The sound quality is incredible. Over the moon as I could never afford the crazy prices asked for the genuine article.

  • Michael's Vocal Showcase

    1 out of 5 stars
    OawuK090November 14, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This Album is heavily focused on the vocals. Michael Stipe takes the lead on most of the tunes, with his lyrics being super clear and really standing out. The music in the background is just there to back up the singing. The Album cover features only one band member, Michael. And guess what? The backing vocals are also done by Michael.

About R.E.M.

R.E.M. emerged from the vibrant music scene of Athens, Georgia, in 1980, with a sound that would redefine alternative rock. Founded by Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe, the band's unique blend of jangly guitars, cryptic lyrics, and Stipe's distinctive vocals quickly set them apart. Their influence was immense, inspiring countless bands like Nirvana and Pixies. With hits like "Losing My Religion" and "Everybody Hurts," R.E.M. sold over 90 million albums worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling music acts in history. Even after Berry's departure in 1997 and the band's amicable split in 2011, R.E.M.'s legacy endures, with occasional reunions and inductions into prestigious halls of fame keeping their spirit alive. Their music, characterized by Buck's ringing guitar arpeggios and Mills' melodic bass lines, continues to captivate fans old and new.
