Rating: - Not bad.
I have IN VIEW and THE IRS YEARS -- R.E.M.'s most recent video compilation DVDs. Here's what's on Parallel that isn't on either of those:
"Find The River"
"Bang And Blame"
"Star 69"
"Strange Currencies"
"Crush With Eyeliner"
Rating: - R.E.M. Does not Disappoint
As there is a fairly comprehensive review of the videos included on this disk, I will limit my comments to the added features of the DVD that have been overlooked. I am a huge fan of the R.E.M. DVD collection. I like loading the DVD changer with all the DVDs and letting them play during gathering/parties as the range of emotions and conversation pieces that come up through the videos is enormous. This DVD is one of my favorites because of the vinnettes that play between the songs. These are short and what some of my friends refer to as "artsy" video takes with a variety of social comments.

Rating: - great REM videos
REM is one of my favorite groups of all time and it's nice to have a collection of their videos. REM is one of those groups who put a lot of great thought behind their videos so the videos actually add to the depth of the songs. This collection covers their videos from automatic for the people and out of time which are the albums that really helped them to enter the mainstream. In the end, Parallel really shows why REM became as large as they did.
Rating: - Creativity and REM
Although the musical styles between Automatic for the People and Monster are quite different, a certain flow is found between the various videos. REM's creativity at the peak! I liked the use of nonassociated clips between the various music videos. Great songs like Find the River, Night Swimming, and Strange Currencies, somewhat hidden in radio airplay have great videos. The end of the DVD includes a rehearsal for Star Me Kitten, in which you can actually hear the lyrics. Of course,with the subtitle feature on those hard to discern REM lyrics come to light, with some surprises.
Rating: - This is simply a collection of videos
There are some weird images between each video but they don't mean anything. The videos are awesome: Drive, Man On The Moon, Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight, What's The Frequency Kenneth, Crush With Eyeliner, Nightswimming, and Strange Currencies. It's fun to watch just to try to understand what the videos are about. There are no other features besides the videos.
