End of the World isn't on the new "greatest hits" album... and neither is shiney happy people... or any of their "hits" for that matter...

I still love REM, but I really MISS Bill Berry's drumming!

There's an old saying: "Sex is like pizza. When it's good, it's fantastic. When it's bad... it's still pretty damn good"

REM is like pizza.

Actually, I'm told they wrote this first and it evolved into End of the World. They are just releasing it now. It's really grown on me.

Verses VERY similar to "End of the World" but still a good song. Wouldn't be the first band to repackage a tune. Like it a lot!

Saw them live a few weeks ago (before the release), and it was very good live. Yeah, it sounds like ITEoTWaWKi, but Michaels ability to personalize "please" makes it worthwhile. He's amazing!

It's totally the same song. That's always a bad sign...

How can some REM songs be so brilliant and some be as bad as this rubbish? It never ceases to amaze me.
