sub-rem is still greater than 97% of all the other crap out there. when it comes to these guys it's a matter of degrees of greatness, not 'sucks'

Michael Stipe is awsome

man that girl was hot

[Doleafol]

They should have known that Around the Sun was sub-par and taken it off its release schedule. What were they thinking? They should have stopped, realized that they did not have enough good songs, and just waited it out until they came up with more songs or a fresh outlook. To release a record that is not up to standard is not acceptable if you think about it. It's not like a football team that has to play because there is a game on the schedule.

f###ing agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of R.E.M. fans are going to kill me for saying this but I think that Michael Stipe needs to grow his hair back down to his neck as well as include a bushy beard, moustache and sport some sun shades, you know look more groovy!

I'd imagine that the transition of not having Bill in the group anymore has been really difficult for them. I'm glad they're still going and making music.
