R.E.M. are out with a new album, they got quite good reviews (around 7/10). Honestly it sucks. It's boring, it's nothing new.
Maybe it's me, listening right now to more alternative stuff, to Animal Collective, you can't compare it, it's not fair probably…
R.E.M. are gone, they are gone since the drummer has gone. They're gone since monster.
Every time a new album cames in I go back in time and listen again to Automatic for the People.
Not sure if it was a great album but it's great for me, for my remembering.

Another great band of that times is back, Portishead.
I mean, they're old as well right now, they were off for a long time.
Just another great album. Third is very complex, very dark and just very good.

I can only blame Warner, the impression is that they destroyed R.E.M. with their contract. Or maybe R.E.M. were never so good.
