Accelerate (2008, Warner Bros.) R.E.M.'s fourteenth studio album. ***1/2The fourteenth album of these veterans isn’t exactly a revival, but it is nice to listen to. R.E.M. have their cheesy moments on Accelerate, the fastest album they’ve made to date, not to mention a very short, but very wise, running time. The album starts off with a bang and doesn’t lose momentum until we enter into the second half. Once the title track rolls around, the ears of everyone except the fan becomes tired. But they still got it, as the opening track and the excellent “Supernatural Superserious” demonstrate. A very welcome update from an old friend.
