Review:	Rolling Stone (11/27/03, p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...[This] retrospective of the more cerebral Warner years shows that R.E.M. stuck to their principles and kept on their path..." Entertainment Weekly (10/31/03, p.74) - "...The band's most user-friendly album....Weepy keepers like "Losing My Religion" and "Everybody Hurts" [join] two new songs [that] fall firmly within the group's tradition of beatific/moody sing-alongs you can't get out of your head..." - Rating: A- Q (12/03, p.152) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Supremely melodic, slightly unsettling music that, in its archetypally opaque way, has usually managed to soundtrack it time..." Mojo (12/03, p.126) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Two CDs of some of the most melodic and fiercely intelligent music of the last 15 years..." Uncut (1/04, p.128) - 4 stars out of 5 - "'Country Feedback', always a favourite of 'true' fans, is rendered here in all its half-spoken, ragged glory, pure spilt essence of R.E.M." CMJ (11/3/03, p.9) - "...Hearing all these tracks on one collection makes it pleasingly apparent that this is one of the very few commercially successful bands that have maintained quality songwriting throughout its career without selling out once..."
