 Good, but...., 2007-01-24
It's missing key elements. Like Drive and Low, not to mention Radio Song and Shiny Happy People. While the inclusion of soundtrack titles is nice, I listen and wish for more.

Fine Compilation of R.E.M.'s Best Songs Recorded for Warner......, 2006-12-30
Without question R.E.M. has been one of the best American rock and roll bands in the past two decades, in no small measure thanks to Michael Stipe's intelligent, often intriguing, lyrics. "In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003" is a fine compilation, but it will not please everyone, especially when a great song like "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" is missing (However, this song was released long before the band signed with Warner, which explains its absence in this compilation.). I'm delighted that this album begins with the irrepressible "Man On The Moon", which is one of my two favorite R.E.M. songs, along with "Losing My Religion"; both of which have become the two most recognizable songs from R.E.M.'s extensive oeuvre. Another favorite of mine is the haunting ballad "Everbody Hurts". This album is a fine survey of the band's oeuvre for Warner, including the notable Beach Boys homage "Imitation of Life". Fans of R.E.M. will most definitely want to add this album to their collection; for others it is an excellent introduction to their music, demonstrating why R.E.M. is still one of our best rock and roll bands.

Good but missing too many 'classics', 2006-12-27
I went to college in the late 80's and enjoyed the staple of R.E.M. releases. They reinvented rock\alternative music combining great original music with witty scathing lyrics. Since they did this for 15 years it would be impossible to put every great song on a single CD, still how can any best of be missing...
Its the End of the World as We Know it (and I Feel Fine)
Radio Song
Turn You Inside Out
Shiny Happy People
Perhaps when a group has such a large ouvre of music it is impossoble to make an album with everyone's favorites, still even as I realize this, I am still disappointed. I'll just have to make my own 'best hits' on my ipod.
The sleeve is filled with interesting REM anecdotes about each song and the quality of the recordings is fine so over all its a good package and I recommend it, just don't expect an end all greatest hits collection.
 Mr. Stipe and the boys, enuf said., 2006-11-10
All one has to say is R.E.M. and one will receive many smiles from numerous music lovers. I have their early stuff on vinyl and needless to say I treasure those recordings. Now with the addition of this CD of greatest hits my music listening life is complete. All the cuts are unique and listeningable if that's a word. What a tremendous way to kick of the "best of" with the classic "Man in the Moon". I dig it the most!
