Query: Love the entire new direction

This is not R.E.M. of 1985 nor should we expect them to be. As a follower for over fifteen years if their is one thing I have learned about R.E.M. it is to expect the unexpected. On the best of the 2 new songs were kind of upbeat so I therefore thought this was going to be a rocker it isn't. Yet it is a wonderful collection with many brilliant moments.
