[HPFGU-OTChatter] REM (was Re: Homosexuality)

[ender_w]

Rosmerta,
It depends on what you like.  I read in a review that the album went back to REM's "earlier days."  Having been a fan since the late 80's, I took "earlier days" to mean the Document, or Life's Rich Pageant era, so I was a little wierded out when I first heard the new album, which sounds nothing like those other two.  It's more like Out of Time and Automatic for the People: dreamy and moody.  Don't buy it if you're looking for something to pump you up while driving to work.  It's more of a reflective, thoughtful piece...good to listen to if you're writing.

Neil,
thanks for clearing up Stipe's label issue.  I must not have read the article closely enough.

  Neil, *is* it good, worth buying good? I am a big REM fan from way 
  back (hey, I even kind of liked UP, which sank like a stone last 
  year), but I read a bad review of the new album and haven't been 
  blown over by the single they put out first in the States (that sugar 
  one).
