About Nicholas Pemberton Expertise I have been an R.E.M. fan for at least 7 years now. I have all their LPs, over 30 singles, 7 videos, and 5 books, so I am sure that I can answer any question related to the music of REM itself. I also am sort of familiar with REM band bios, so I most likely can answer any question about a band member.
Experience I am very familiar with the work of R.E.M. I have read several books and articles about them. I also frequent the different music news sites to get up to date information on what they are working on. I have been an expert on expertcentral.com, and have successfully answered every question asked of me.
Organizations I am a member of the R.E.M. fanclub. I am also on a really good R.E.M. list group. I was also an expert on expertcentral.com.
Publications No where.
Education/Credentials Some college.
Awards and Honors American Legion Award in eighth grade, but that has nothing to do with R.E.M.

Question dear friend:
The only question I want to ask is about r.e.m's new album <REVEAL>,all I want is your rate.
Answer I feel that "Reveal" is probably the best album I've heard from them in a long time. "Up" was an OK album with some shining moments (like "Lotus"), but it was overall too experimental for my taste. I enjoy the overall happy, summery feel to "Reveal". As for some of my favorite songs off of this album, my favorite is "The Lifting". I also like "All The Way To Reno", "I'll Take The Rain", and "She Just Wants To Be".
While my favorite R.E.M. album is still "Monster", "Reveal" is quickly found its way near the top of my favorites list.
