This Is Not A Love Song is the sound of the company righting itself in its quest for profit, having axed some eccentric junior vice presidents.
Very neoliberal, dispensing with salaried employees in favour of temps and freelancers (aka The Fall model).

I really can’t get into later REM no matter how hard I try. I think MURMUR is the best thing they ever did.

Accelerate is decent but runs out of steam a little bit.

Hello,
Agreed. The first 3 tracks get it off to a great start.

It’s a shame REM broke up right after the slight return to firm and branching out of Automatic For the People, but honestly the last truly good album start to finish was Document. Anyway, not reading the replies.

Funny I just read an article about somebody who had the same reaction until they saw King of Staten Island. I don't even know who he is.
