ReviewsRanked #3 in Melody Maker's list of "Top 30 Albums of 1991" - "...A merry breakdown and a mighty breakthrough...", Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", Ranked #2 in Spin's List of "The 20 Best Albums of 1991in, 5 Stars Out of 5-"Lively, LUSH Sounding...", "Peter Buck claimed he was still teaching himself when he stumbled upon the riff for 'Losing My Religion.' Twenty five years later, that single remains the most perfect pop song R.E.M. ever crafted, but it was hardly a fluke.", "...Sing about love in a self-conscious era, R.E.M. toyed with its own sound--playing unfamiliar instruments, sometimes adding a string section--to create eccentric yet indelible songs..." New Musical Express (3/16/91, p.30) - 10 - Classic - "...REM are back after a period of self-imposed reinvention, and OUT OF TIME is easily their most eclectic and wildly inspired album yet, although it is still very identifiably REM--a brand new book from a familiar author....", Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s", Included in Q's List of "50 Best Albums of 1991in, Included in CMJ's list of "Top 25 College Radio Albums of All Time" Rolling Stone (3/21/91) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...R.E.M. has done it again: defied and fulfilled the conflicting expectations of a broad, mainstream audience and a smaller, more demanding, and possessive, cult....This may well be America's best rock & roll band....surely, America's most resourceful rock & roll band..." Spin (3/91) - "...More textured, lighter, brighter, and poppier than 1988's GREEN....This album will nail it once and for all: They're no longer innovative, original, or particularly exciting in the way they used to be--but they are writing more consistently excellent songs...", "There is something extremely reassuring about the volatility of this album, its out-of-time-ness, which suggests that the music isn’t simply confined to the past but thrives in the present."

Additional InformationR.E.M. Got LUSH and Pastoral on this 1991 Blockbuster Featuring "Losing My Religion."
