New Adventures In Hi-Fi alone has at least 5 that I like better (How The West Was Won, E-Bow The Letter, Leave, So Fast So Numb, Electrolite). I really like that record. Some more late R.E.M. favorites: Lotus, At My Most Beautiful, Walk Unafraid and Parakeet from Up, which is pretty uneven and overlong as a record but has a nice atmospheric and experimental vibe. The Great Beyond. I've Been High from Reveal. Their last decade was disappointing, though. Until The Day Is Done was a lone positive surprise. |

REM started going south when Michael Stipe started enunciating. Fables is probably their last decent album IMO. My favorite is the Chronic Town EP produced by Mitch Easter.
They did start to get overly cute with the lyrics, and it led to their downfall. I liked it much better when they were hard to understand. The long gradual decline started with Green. Still, Green was great, so were the next few CDs, but they fell off the cliff by the mid-90s with Monster and it was all mediocre from there on out. No band has stayed on top as long as they did though - they had a great run and nothing to be ashamed of. They always were and still try to be a college, intellectual band, but you can only do that for so long. |

I like it, but it does borrow a bit from Man on The Moon. . . (which is funny to say, because I believe this pre-dates MoTM)

I like this one, including the crunchy guitar tone.

I'm one of those people, and I don't think they used their success to "break free of their traditional bonds," rather, I think they got lazy, and went mainstream. I have one of REM's early albums, namely "Fables of the Reconstruction" from 1985, and the the music on that album is experimental, and unique. I love it. But their later stuff is so mundane. For every reasonably good song they made, like this one, they made others like the mind-numbing "Losing My Religion," with its no-effort-expended cliched lyrics. "the surface informs the underneath the underneath is lacking"  |

Don't get me wrong, I love just about everything by REM...but this is my least fav album. A good song, but IMHO just no up to the feeling of most of REM's past work.
