Ohhh, my heart breaks when I hear this. REM has done such wonderful stuff over the years.

It makes me very sad to hear them phoning it in like this.

Not really liking this song. R.E.M. has such a collective gift, and they're wasting it on stuff like this (and "Mine Smell Like Honey.")  I can only hope that this is just a contractual fulfillment, and the next work will be more, um, valid.

Michael Stipe is working on a new career in sculpture and living happily with his French boyfriend. Wish he had not decided to enter the studio again, a blemish on an otherwise happy ending.

This is a great song. If it were on an R.E.M. album 20 years ago everyone would be saying what a classic it is right now. But since it's new, and everyone has to prove how cool they are, it somehow sucks.

This song is a cliché both in the music and the lyrics...  pure putridity...

Of course you think Clapton's Layla, Bowie's Heroes and anything by Pearl Jam desevre a 1, so you and your infantile puking widgets have no credibility.

This lands just the right side of R.E.M. parody.

Stipe sounds good. I almost heard a little Cash in there. {#Clap}

This song would have much more emotive power if it were "Oh My Feet"...

Made me sit up and take notice, which is more than most recent REM has done.

I think I still prefer mumbling Stipe to halting Stipe, but it's interesting.

Seriously? This is REM? Without looking I was guessing Dougie McLean.

Seems like this album has lots of promise... but haven't the last few — only to disappoint?
