Yeah this is just an "okay" record for me with a few good tunes. I would actually rate 'Around the Sun' much higher than this.

No way man, this is probably their best. Leave is jaw droppingly good.

Goods songs on this but the sound is so dry that I can't really get through it. I'd love to have heard a fully studio version of this.

New Test Leper is lyrically his greatest work

You’re not wrong. I’ve been a bit harsh on this one tbh.

At least the album cover is probably the best in their entire catalogue.



Thought this was interesting (though I obviously disagree with their take on the 'worst' album): https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/11/ranking-every-r-e-m-album-from-worst-to-best/full-post/

This had its moments, but why is this more loved than Monster? I don't get it

I don't like monster at all tbh. i find it super unmemorable. this, on the other hand, is one of the more ambitious and varied albums

Monster is a refreshing electric squall.

Vibrant, eclectic with some absolute cracking tunes.



This has the tunes (a couple of the bands all time best) but it’s too long, too thrown together, too lose.

probably expecting too much from a mid 90s REM album but they shoulda cut out some of the boring rock tunes and made it looser and messier if anything

album is spotty but i have good memories driving around at night listening to e-bow in my first car
