Mediocre, mediocre, mediocre - what else can one expect of REM? Overplayed on RP like VanHalen on Classic Rock stations.

Bill Berry please come back. REM needs you. We need you.

Very well said. Unfortunately, many people seem to compare everything they do now to what they put out on Murmur or Reckoning. Their new offerings, while clearly on a differnt path, are no means as bad as many claim. I did read an article in Rolling Stone that their next CD is a return to Document. We'll see.

Not the best by REM, but if a local band had written this, I would be impressed.

Would segue nicely to 'Boy with a Coin' by Iron and Wine.

I'm not all that familiar with all of R.E.M.'s output, but this to me has fairly unique styling and seems well-crafted. I like it.

seriously people, this song ain't stellar, but it's acutally quite likeable IMHO

REM SUCKS! The best they can do is just mediocre crap!

REM always seems to draw a lot of comments - and + alike. I really like this song/band/album I don't care what anyone says.

I can't believe I rated an REM song a 4, but this just doesn't do it for me.

Everything about it sighs "indifference."

Weak effort from an otherwise enjoyable band

Well said!

Just plain annoying.

she just wants to be somewhere (where this song isn't!)

Time to draw your pension guys.

Urgh. Pair it with "And She Was" and "All She Wants Is" for the She Who Must Be Turned Off set.

what is this drivel? has the hype totally ensnared these guys? sounds like most other REM songs, except "Bang Blame" - THAT's a jammin' song!
