R.E.M.'s new album Around the Sun (1 Viewer)

[Todd H]

Any other longtime R.E.M. fans picking this up tomorrow? I've heard Leaving New York, which I really enjoyed. I haven't heard any of the other songs on the CD however. Still, it's R.E.M. which always means I'm buying it no matter what.

Great quote!

I'll definitely be getting it. I still have a lot of love for the post-Berry R.E.M. and I think "Up" and "Reveal" are vastly underrated. I've only heard "Leaving New York" but I thought it was excellent.

Thanks for the link Dave!

ditto john. nice link!

i'll be checking it out more thoroughly (the videography looks pretty cool) later. for now, i'm sampling the album while i work.

Thank you for the link Dave.

I'll pass.

Even Leaving New York, which others seem to like, is fairly bland. Really really disappointing.


Edit: meant to write bland, instead of bleh - where on Earth did I pull that one out of.

not bad. i think i'm gettin' old cuz i like the more melodic relaxed stuff now. so this fits my bill pretty well. i figure bb will have it for 10 bucks, so it'll definitely be worth that.
