Query: Overrated album from an Overrated band

If you're offended by my statement, put it in your pipe and smoke it. I bought this album when it first came out, and it wasn't a bad album, except that for the three or four hits from it, the rest of the record was absolutely boring. What made it irritably boring is Michael Stipe's wavering voice in songs that should have been best sung by perhaps another member of the band. In addition, the overhype in the media about this band kind of ended it for me after this album. There were a couple of good songs from followup efforts, but essentially this band went the way of U2: Overhyped, oversold, in your face, all the time.I don;t begrudge them their success as they've certainly earned it, but when the media started focusing on the homosexuality of the lead singer (of which I couldn't care less anyway), the band responded by breaking up some time later. They made their millions. The overnight success and over-promotion killed them for me. A shame.
