Lifes Rich Pageant, the band's fourth LP, comes on with such full-throttle force that it's impossible to imagine AOR radio — if not Top Forty stations — failing to bring this group a broader audience.
Moreover, Lifes Rich Pageant, as its partially ironic title suggests, is the most outward-looking record R.E.M. has made, a worthy companion to R.E.M.'s bracing live shows and its earned status as a do-it-yourself and do-it-your-way model for young American bands.
Lifes Rich Pageant may be more manifestly focused than R.E.M. has been in the past, but Stipe continues his seductive dance of veiled meanings in both his vocals and lyrics.

  Review of life rich pageant
"Lifes Rich Pageant," the band's fourth LP, comes on with such full-throttle force that it's impossible to imagine AOR radio - if not Top Forty stations - failing to bring this group to a larger audience.
"Lifes Rich Pageant" may be more manifestly focused than R.E.M. has been in the past, but Stipe continues his seductive dance of veiled meanings in both his vocals and lyrics.
As a result, "Lifes Rich Pageant" has a contemporary feel, even as it sidesteps obvious modern electronics and indulges in such old-fangled touches as pianos, banjos, accordions and pump organs.

 Rolling Stone : Life's Rich Pageant : Review
The political message of "The Flowers of Guatemala" became available to anyone who took the time to listen, and the dense thicket of wordplay in "Begin the Begin" (the title itself was a pun on a Cole Porter song) was even better.
Lifes Rich Pageant is the sound of R.E.M. stepping out of the corner into the spotlight, discovering that losing their indie-rock religion could make their music stronger.
Pageant was also the album on which bassist Mike Mills made his claim as one of the best backing vocalists in rock, with a plaintive tenor that blends perfectly with Stipe's.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Lifes Rich Pageant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Prior to "Life's Rich Pageant", R.E.M. had released a string of four exceptional records that weren't quite rock, not quite folk, not quite pop, and not quite anything.
"Life's Rich Pageant" is an aptly titled work as it's definitely a lively and rich pageantry of beautiful music.
However, though the album is rich with some lush and pretty music (it might be the most beautiful upbeat R.E.M. album -- "Automatic for the People" being the most beautiful pensive R.E.M. album) I think its overall quality is a bit less than that of predecessors "Murmur" and "Reckoning" and ancestor "Document".

 CMJ Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Quite plainly, Lifes Rich Pageant (eat the apostrophe) rocks like a madman.
Lifes Rich Pageant is infinitely superior to last year's Fables Of The Reconstruction, and at least on par with Murmur and Reckoning, which now seem almost like blueprints for this one.
One more thing that's a definite: all of those R.E.M. clone bands that've emerged in the past few years have a hell of a lot of catching up to do.

 SongBook | Lifes Rich Pageant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The band may not have really been ready to record again; they were so short of material that they had to dig into their archives, the outtake reel, and their repertoire of covers to amass 12 tracks that don't even break the 40 minute barrier.
The songs they did have were so strong, however, and Gehman's fresh approach so helpful, that Lifes Rich Pageant ranks as my favorite album from the group's IRS years.
The songs do have a lot of similarities to each other; the band seems to be focusing on variations on themes here, rather than explore a lot of different directions on one album.

Lifes Rich Pageant represents a subtle shift in the program, with clearly audible lyrics (though they remain obscure in meaning) on most tracks.
On Lifes Rich Pageant, R.E.M. started to make the move from their college-rock underground sound to a more commercially accessible one.
"Lifes Rich Pageant," opens up smoking and we hear Michael Stipe's voice clearly, lucid, growling, "Let's begin again, like Martin Luther's Zen." And so they have, once again recreating themselves in discovery which has kept their marathon career fresh, interesting, and relevant.

The next album, Lifes Rich Pageant [sic] (1986), takes its name from a Pink Panther movie ("You'll catch your death of cold!" "Yes, I probably will.
After Berry's departure, the band returned with Up (1998), another long and reflective record but mellower and more diverse, with the lead single "Daysleeper." The band were no longer selling as well as in the peak days of 1991-95, but they had not stopped producing compelling records.
Their most recent single, "Bad Day" (2003), was written back in the late 80s, and is rumored to have been the genesis of "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," with similar stream of consciousness lyrics and jangly guitars.

 R.E.M.: Life's Rich Pageant ---Ink Blot Magazine
Following up the dense and darker Fables Of The Reconstruction, Life's Rich Pageant introduced a now confident and matured band to their hardcore fans.
Perhaps the most watertight song R.E.M. have ever recorded arrives in the form of "Fall On Me," a meditation on polluting the sky, which unites vocals, instruments, and emotion into a communal harmony.
As an album, Life's Rich Pageant is a great example of socially conscious pop-ified rock, Southern/country/folk influences included.

'Life's Rich Paegent' (title from a Peter Sellers work) is a mixed bag- offering up several classic-tracks, some so-so ones and a bit of filler.
'Life's Rich Paegent' is a fine album, though far from a classic- the following year's 'Document' remains a sharper album...
Lifes Rich Pageant is a true work of musical art.

Lifes Rich Pageant represents a subtle shift in the program, with clearly audible lyrics (though they remain obscure in meaning) on most tracks.
The band still has a bit of fun with its audience, listing the songs out of order on the album sleeve and leaving a couple of them ("Underneath the Bunker," "Superman") off entirely.
As good as it is to hear Stipe enunciate while he sings, the music is equally revelatory and forward-looking on the radio-friendly "Fall on Me"; harder-rocking songs like "Begin the Begin," "These Days," and "Superman" (the latter tune sung by Mills); and the haunting, folkish "Swan Swan H." --Daniel Durchholz
