Without getting into a heated debate about taste I am LESS than luke warm to
REM. Liked some of the early singles: "Superman", "Orange Crush". And then
they not only lost their religion but me caring much at that point. I just
wish the material wasn't so friggin' slow and boring -- and Stipe's obtuse
lyrical deconstruction is infuriating (same malady that afflicts Gord Downie
of The Tragically Hip). I had high hopes they'd break out of their malaise
and cut a groove one day to become the rock band that seemed to be bubbling
underneath all those years.
