I kind of wish the second half of this album didn't exist. Pales in comparison to the first half.
Walk it back definitely riffs off band of horses.....

You're kidding, right? Do you have any idea how much longer R.E.M. have been around than Band of Horses? Just to make sure you have a full awareness of how stupid you sound.

It Happened Today.
Do you know what happened today?
Michael Stipe checked the track listing for his most recent tranche of aimless, meandering ‘songs’, and realised that he didn’t have an anthemic singalong to elevate the album above bare, forgettable mediocrity. Rather than writing his own original composition – because let’s face it, that hasn’t helped old Mumblin’ Mike too often in the past, he bolted together two other successful tracks. Having speeded up the main chord progression from ‘Let It Be’, all that was left was to take the repeated musical refrain from The Foo Fighters ‘In Times Like These’ and fashion his very own Frankenstein’s monster.
Result? Chuck that on – they’ll never notice. If they've sat through the other 14 overrated issues from our collection, they'll buy this one too.

who to avoid in life!
-smug people that don't* know how to crack a joke
-someone who refers to Michael Stipe as "old mumblin Mike" and says things like "having speeded up"
-people who are obsessed with pencils
-someone who thinks that "let it be" has a four chord progression that is unique and should never/ has never been touched

Folk on the Sputnik site becoming personal because they don't like someone else's opinion of their 4 or 3.5 rated album? Nooo... I can't believe that.

Not now that you've edited your comments to make it a greeting instead of your opinion on my view of Staind, you didn't.
Look, I can do that too...

translation: I don't like this band so i'm going to make a sweeping generalisation that the people who do must be unthinking troglodytes.
Having speeded up the main chord progression from ‘Let It Be’, all that was left was to take the repeated musical refrain from The Foo Fighters ‘In Times Like These’ and fashion his very own Frankenstein’s monster
translation: I believe that the Foo Fighters invented the concept of musical refrains on their hit single "Times Like These". Any other band in history that has used a musical refrain is imitating the Foo Fighters hit single "Times Like These. Also, check this out, I just figured out that the chord progression in the Beatles "Let it Be" has been used in countless other songs, both popular and obscure.
Rather than writing his own original composition – because let’s face it, that hasn’t helped old Mumblin’ Mike too often in the past, he bolted together two other successful tracks.
translation: I think Michael Stipe is solely responsible for writing R.E.M.'s music.
Staind The Illusion of Progress
This is sheer quality from beginning to end. Raining Again, Pardon Me, and the stratospherically beautiful Tangled Up In You make this indisputably amazing.

And I quote from your last as yet unedited comment...

Lovely. Not only are you revisionist, but you have a fine mouth on you. I'm sure your family is very proud.
Just finished reading Q Magazine's review on this album, and I don't appear to be completely alone in my take on this release. Couple of quotes from the review by John Harris:
"Promises of a 15th album return to form are wide of the mark"
"...not a patch on their peak work"
"... not nearly as consistent, vital or accomplished as either of (AFTP or OOT)"
"...pleasant but too anodyne..."
"...Every Day Is Yours To Win amounts to a sugary dud"
"...lyrics so daft..."
"So where does that leave them? Somewhere between pointlessness and real inspiration, with another record to add to the pile".
You may disagree, but not everyone rates this very highly.

This comment is up there with "Just finished firebombing a child's birthday party" in terms of its irrelevance to this discussion or any music criticism of note.

Not everybody like new music album????? This is news to me... I hear rumours of remote African tribes gathering on hilltops and linking hands while singing along to Discoverer so I'm not sure where you're getting your info from buddy...
I don't care if people don't like this or any other album, it's your idiot reasoning and misguidedly smug attitude that I object to, as outlined in the points of my previous comment that you still haven't responded to

I'm pretty certain that my opinion of the album is clear. I'm equally certain that my opinion of you needs little clarification. Holding a discussion with someone who routinely edits their previous comments in the way that you have, and whose manner and language are so polite and appropriate holds no interest for me.
