For Elton it happened around 1977, for the Stones 1981 or thereabouts, strange how that happens.  This is one of the first suckage albums!  I suppose every band has to lose their Bernie Taupin. |

The problem is, this is true for all of us! You wake up one day and you suck. That's why Glory Days was written. (btw - I'm still waiting for that morning to hit me) |

JC was anything but humble. If there is one take-away from his preaching, it is this: rock the boat. Your post signifies the reverse. I have been working on a recent project to catch up on REM, to be a REM completist in other words, because there are some gaps in my collection. One thing that has struck me is the numerous references to the New Testament in REM's later work. Interesting. |

Way better than most of REM's popular stuff, which makes it a 5.

I like a lot of REM songs but this one just bores the crap out of me.
Sorry. |

A really fantastic, under-appreciated album.
E-Bow The Letter is my favorite from this disc.

Very Nice. REM is a musical leader, maybe that is why they are a target to the 'haters' out there.

So, wait, I'm not sure if I understand from this and the dozen or so other comments you've made on REM songs. Do you like REM or not? Can't tell, really! |
