"This is not a show," murmurs Michael Stipe at the start of Live at the Olympia and it's not quite misdirection. R.E.M.'s five-night residency at Dublin's Olympia in the summer of 2007 functioned as working rehearsals for their 14th album, Accelerate, with the band testing out each of the songs, exploring arrangements, finding breaking points, and pairing them with older songs that informed their back-to-basics move.

Nearly 40 years in, the Manics are turning back the clock to the arty alt-pop of the 1980s—and also playing at reinvention. Bassist Nicky Wire takes lead vocals on several songs for the first time, and it doesn't at all feel like a concession to keep a band member happy. Wire's voice is more barbed and ominous-sounding than James Dean Bradfield's, and so are his lyrics. "The pinnacle of despair/ The apex of denial/ The skyscrapers of untruth/ Customized feeds/ Net neutrality/ Smart meters/ Smart order/ Smart fucking railways/ Body positivity/ Believe in yourself/ Imposter syndrome/ Fuck that!" Wire growls on the hard-charging title track, bemoaning how online culture pays lip service to wellness and self-care even as it fuels a desire to tear one another down.
