Anybody heard the new record yet? If so, how's it sound?

I haven't heard a good R.E.M. album since New Adventures in Hi-Fi. Here's hoping Around the Sun is a return to R.E.M.'s usual standard.

To answer my own question, I just acquired an uh... "evaluation copy," and gave it a brief listen. It's a stinker.

There's even a track featuring Q-Tip. YES, Q-TIP.

Me too, I bought the album after NAIHF, which was called 'Up' I believe, but I just listened to it once I think, too bad, they used to be my favourite band before that. Looks like Bill Berry got out at the right time.


KRS-1 rapped on Radio Song, from Out of Time.

Oh no. Well, it's not the first time. Didn't KRS-1 rap on a song? I forget which one, though...
Wasn't he on "Radio Song?"

(Edit: Oops, capslock beat me by a couple of seconds...)

R.E.M. needs to pick up their guitars again.
