oh, c'mon

Well, the new R.E.M. album is being universally panned. I think that's really unfair. No, it's not "Murmur." It's not "Fables." Hell, it's not even "New Adventures in Hi-Fi." What it is, though, is a much better album than they've put together in many a year. Their last "great" album was released in 1992. "Around the Sun" is merely good but that's good enough for me.

Soon I'll babble on about "Hi-Fi" being one of the most unappreciated albums of the last 20 years.

I'll never forget the first time I tried to listen to "new adventures in hi-fi."

I fell asleep.

I. FELL. ASLEEP.

What about Wham's "Make It Big"? That still hasn't gotten the attention it deserves.
