We would not agree on much. But on that point: a serious squeeze of lime juice.

What noisy cats we all are on tfk
I would argue that REM didnât do a middlin album until Monster, which was their ninth. Some consistent standard.
This version of Country Feedback with the Godfather of Grunge thoughâŚ

About the American Civil War apparently.
I didnât like the addition of Superman at the end of that album. Stipe wasnât impressed either - he didnât want to sing it.
One of the best songs of all time.

Monster is very underrated, mostly because it was such a change of direction at the time. Itâs still an excellent high energy album, Iâd prefer it at times to Out of Time and Green, even though both of those have better individual songs. All opinions of course.

100% agree. An extraordinary run.

The most overrated REM album for me is New Adventures In Hi-Fi. E-bow the letter is one of their best. Electrolite, So Fast So Numb and West Was Won also excellent but the remainder is mainly garbage in my view.

Came across âR.E.M. at the BBCâ on the iplayer. Some superb live performances (and miming on ToTP) over 20 years.

Not a chance of that.
They are American Southern gentlemen and they have given their word that they wonât do so.

One of the few regrets I have is not going to that gig. Square bales 
Seen them three times. Would loved to have had one more shot at them.
I saw them in 1985 and 1989.
