Lifes Rich Pageant

by R.E.M.

Lifes Rich Pageant cover art

Showcasing a significantly punchier, more muscular rock production, 'Lifes Rich Pageant' finds R.E.M. stepping confidently toward mainstream accessibility. Michael Stipe’s previously buried vocals are pushed to the forefront, delivering highly conscious, politically driven lyrics atop incredibly melodic, energetic jangle-pop riffs. The album is a bittersweet, uplifting bridge between their indie roots and stadium rock future.
