Even I thought it was good and I only really listen to their 80s output these days.

Read nearly any review for Accelerate and most critics just right off the last 10 years of the bands existence. Including Reveal which was made during this time. Mike Mills has said in interviews during the press for Accelerate saying how frustrated he is about this. The fact that people just bypass the last 3 albums collectively.
In terms of fans being glad with Reveal after the dissapointment of Up, I find the complete opposite. You go on any REM message board and most rank Up far higher than Reveal in their favourite REM albums. Not what I would personally have but each to their own.
