Query: REM is dead.

UGH.REM's newest "album" sounds like something thrown together by an incompetent 10-year-old kid with a synthesizer and an old guitar he doesn't know how to use. The melodies don't weave as they once did, the lyrics are flat, Mike Mills, the real musical talent in the band, doesn't appear to have had any role in this album. Step back and listen to it; try to convince yourself it's a new album from a band you've never heard before. Then listen again. It's a piece of trash.
