Crush With Eyeliner

"Crush with Eyeliner" is a hot song by itself, but true R.E.M. fans know the energy, unexpectedness and new sounds that the band puts forth live; It is this that gives this CD its true value. This CD has live performaces of "Me in Honey" and "Fall on Me" which are more up tempo than the earlier recorded versions. Stipe's voice and the clarity of the music is amazing. "Finest Worksong" is still excellent, but sounds a little more like the album version (not the horn remix). Over all this is an excellent CD, especially if you are interested in the live tracks, but are not interested in owning/buying bootlegs.
