I'd argue the strength of songs like Pilgrimage, Radio Free Europe, Laughing, Talk About the Passion, Moral Kiosk etc kinda outweigh that. I'd agree the first half is stronger. So it's like a 5.5 while the second half is merely a 5.

One of my favs from the album performed in my neck of the woods in 83. The fucking energy here. And The Replacements opened for them, holy shit

Definitely. Plus Stipe/Mills backing vox over Buck Rickenbacker twang is second only to the Beatles in terms of vox and twang
