This might not mean much to many but this is a band that I'll always give a cursory listen to. Call me sentimental.

I'm about half way through and while there are a couple cringeworthy moments, this isn't bad.

Some vintage REM sounds but dangerously close to the latest few incarnations. Still, not a bad effort for a latter period album. They shine the most when Mike Mills is most involved. When they want to focus the song on the singing and harmony rather than the riffage.

REM, at this stage in their career, make bands like Radiohead that much more interesting.

Had a listen yesterday and found nothing of interest, and I'm an REM fan.

finally a 'dirty work' for my generation.

I realize this is a supposed to be a negative quality, but it made me run off and download this.

Well played, boys. Golf. Clap.

this album is terribly boring

Been listening to this new album a lot recently. I like it more than their last one, "Accelerate".

"Mine Smell Like Honey" is great. Terrible song title though.
