Tommy Blogg CriticTalk: R.E.M. - Accelerate

I may not be the best critic persay, because you know immediately whether I like an album (or movie or book, etc.) but even though I might be biased in my liking of R.E.M., I got their latest album, Accelerate, this weekend.

Accelerate does not attempt to hide what it really is;
a fast-paced rock record.
R.E.M. has always been a rock band by definition, and I think that that point is made clear with their most-televised single, "Supernatural Superserious", which re-introduces you to these rock lovelies, with their first album since "Around The Sun" which was released in 2004. With a career spanning almost 3 decades, R.E.M. has managed to keep their rock ethic at the forefront of what they were doing. From a small Athens indie band, to the poster children for what music really is meant to be, these guys have been at the top of their game for quite some time now. Even with the lack of drummer Bill Berry, who had to quit the band after some severe health issues (after 17 YEARS!), REM has managed to make this uptempo alternative record a major occurence. Even though "Around the Sun" managed to make a small "murmur" (It's a REM pun :P) on what I like to call the "Tommy Jam Scale", which is scored from 0.5-10.0 (1/2 - 10) which counts every 1/2 number as well as whole numbers, Here is how The Tommy Blogg CriticTalk Rating System works;

You will have the 1-5 Tommys, and their rating on the TJS Tommy Jam Scale. Now let's see how R.E.M. - Accelerate sized up;

ugh...

You know, I'm all FOR crazy stupid people flinging their boobs at each other and stuff, but does anyone think 'Springer is getting even more FAKE then it was? Like I walked in to watch the TV I have in the bathroom, and I realized just HOW fake it was. And if I wanted to watch "My Kissin' Cousin is a Racist Clergymen Transvestite Who Owns My Half-Simian Step-Uncle and My Masked Wrestler Brother Sexually Assaulted a Clown With a Toaster After He Fell In Love With A Rake and Dry Humped An Elvis Impersonator With Cancer And Stalked Lou Dobbs With A Pitbull At The DMV" then I'd leave it to the imagination. It is really weird.

Minute Correction

I thought I only liked a few kinds of Glaceau Vitaminwater, but even though I love formula 50, which not only has that tangy delicious grape tang, but it has all the nutrients to keep me satisfied for hours on end. And it is also endorsed by rapper 50 Cent, or as I refer to him, my home boy. But, you all know Glaceau has not officially decided whether to sponsor the blog, so all of this is just a personal endorsement and in no way is a legal sponsorship of the product, just a testimony to it's taste and jolt of spontaneous energy, with enough flavors to satisfy even the MOST finicky drinker. These include but are not limited to;

Power-C - Dragonfruit - (Vitamin C + Taurine)

Energy - Tropical Citrus - (Vitamin B + Guarana)

Revive - Fruit Punch - (Vitamin B + Potassium)

Multi-V - Lemonade - ("Vitamin A to Zinc")

Focus - Kiwifruit-Strawberry - (Vitamin A + Lutein)

Essential - Orange-Orange - (Vitamin C + Calcium)

Formula 50 - Grape - (50% Daily Dose of Vitamins)

Defense - Raspberry-Apple - (Vitamin C + Zinc)

Rescue - Green Tea - (Vitamin C + EGCG)

Endurance - Peach-Mango - (Vitamin E + Ribose)

Vital-T - Lemon Tea - (Vitamin C + Vitamin E)

Balance - Cran-Grapefruit - (Vitamin C + Glucosamine)

B-Relaxed - Jackfruit-Guava - (Vitamin B + Theanine)

Charge - Lemon-Lime + (Vitamin B + Electrolytes)

XXX - Acai-Blueberry-Pomegranate - (Triple Antioxidants)


And once again, Glaceau has not sponsored us, so I just LOVE Vitamin Water.
