Query: Is this the greatest REM album?

the answer is... no, Out of Time, for me although not as refined has a greater range of sounds. When i first listened to this album, i thought it was miles ahead of Out of Time, but after a while it sounds too REM-ish. However i have found that if i listen to it less often i like it more. This is a fantastic album, but they've made it so good, that you get sick of how good it is. Personally i like some very good songs in between good songs. If you don't mind an album which is very good for 50 mins then buy this album. Otherwise buy it with Out of Time, to make it a bit easier to listen to.
