Accelerate reminds me more of NAIHF than anything, and that is not necessarily a bad thing.
One thing that is very much in favour of Accelerate is that while NAIHF had REM classics like E-Bow and Electrolite, and fan faves like Blinky, West and Wake Up Bomb, NAIHF is long-winded. It goes on for too long and couldprobably do with two or three less songs (Zither, Undertow and Low Desert maybe?)
Accelerate is succint, straight-to the point. There's no piss-farting around. It's like REM are saying, "here are the songs, enjoy the fuck out of them". Indeed, the longest track, Sing For The Submarine is deservedly long, unlike some of the bloated stuff on NAIHF.
