I used to like R.E.M. years ago quite a lot and have some of their earlier work. I've heard that their last couple albums have been pretty disappointing. After reading a review praising their latest release, I thought I'd go ahead and get it and I was glad I did. I've listened to it several times so far and it just keeps growing on me. If you liked R.E.M. years ago, you should definitely get their latest endeavor!
What's great about it: Fast paced, cranking guitar work, good vocals
