If anything maybe Up is a late career masterpiece, if you consider anything post-Berry to be late career.

I think both Accelerate and Collapse are better than Up.
Up is fine, i get it, its weird and experimental and has some very good singles but its not something i wanna listen to.

You know, I'm going to say REM doesn't have a late career masterpiece. Up, to me, is clearly the best post-Berry record. But to be a late career masterpiece it has to rival the quality of the best stuff in the earlier part of the career.

yeah, i could agree with this. Im not sure Accelerate is in the same league that Hi Fi, which i consider is their last masterpiece.cutuphalfdead wrote:You know, I'm going to say REM doesn't have a late career masterpiece.

But, we could argue that their catalogue is incredible.

Accelerate was relevant when it came out. The country had just gone through Hurricane Katrina, and there were themes from the resulting chaos, violence, and government failures. There is renewed passion all over the album... I will argue that the production value may have been its biggest downfall (back me up, Trag), but I kinda like the dirty, lo-fi sound of it.

I think we’re losing the meaning of the word “masterpiece”

exactly, this isn't a thread for surprisingly good late career albums

agreed, completely tone-deaf production... unlike Rage's debut (tragabigzanda wrote:Oh yeah, I will definitely back that up. It actually reminds me a lot of Summerteeth in that regard: really rich compositions that feel inaccessible.

Up is totally a late career masterpiece.
I love Ghosteen by Nick Cave but I haven't listened to enough of his stuff to compare, the Tribe record is the best answer for this thread.
Also yeah if the talk talk records count then definitely those
