Released in 1998, R.E.M.'s Up marked a bold creative shift for the band, embracing lush, atmospheric textures and introspective songwriting. Recorded across studios in Seattle, San Francisco, and Athens, the album features standout singles "Daysleeper," "Lotus," and "At My Most Beautiful," showcasing the band's willingness to explore new sonic territory. As Stereogum notes, "All these years later, it still has resonance... Up will always remain a strikingly gorgeous album."
This 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition brings Up back to life on 180-gram vinyl, pressed in the EU and mastered at the legendary Sterling Sound. The set includes an insert featuring full lyrics and credits, along with a hidden gem: the short unlisted track "I'm Not Over You" tucked away at the end of side D. Whether you're a longtime R.E.M. devotee rediscovering this underappreciated gem or a newcomer drawn in by its timeless melodies, this anniversary pressing is a worthy addition to any collection.
