The signature darkish weirdness of R.E.M.
I like!

Even if it is the point of the song, it is still a "lesser effort" by a great band. |

This is the kind of deep cut that I love to hear. Anyone can safely play Stand or Orange Crush, so props to you for digging deeper.

dark stoner music isn't exactly spring in step-putting for me...

I remember 1988. Like it was 24 years ago. (Really? Damn.)

Then again, that may just be the nostalgia talking. Not nostalgia at all. This is a great album, period. |

One of those RP sets that flows beautifully — from Morphine to Low (had never heard them before now) to Neil Young and now REM. Good stuff!

Melody
Hooks
Interesting
Not excessively noisy
If only REM could create music like this in their recent albums, sigh...

What a relief to hear such a great classic by R.E.M., compared to that horrific new song by them called Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I that we heard earlier...
this California song that I remember is a classic from a great album... love it...

isn't it true that all disappointment has it's roots in expectation ??
just a thought that occurs to me when i read all the criticism of songs i like on rp
which almost all
maybe i have no discrimination
would you be happy if you had no past ??
another zen question
It works the other way around too, you know. There are many great songs I would never have heard if I had no previous expectations. I mean, when Abbey Road came out in 1969, do you think it was silly of people to expect a great album? They were not disappointed. |
