To be honest I don't like REM and I think there are lots of new bands out there which are more worth to listen to.
But hey - thanks again for the Skip-Button.

Agree with you, two years later.
Today, right now, 10:45 CST, 3/3/2022, this song resonates in a way Mr. Stipe couldn't have imagined in 2004. Wow.
Peace,

This is an Iraq War protest song.

R.E.M. Post Anti-War Song

Man, this is the problem with R.E.M. Drama larded over a piano book of "5 Easy Pieces". Have they ever played a minor-7th?

I've always imagined a self-made man looking at them as posers and asking them, "What are you really all about"?, and getting no response.

Extrospection without an inner life.

Conviction without constituency.

Belief without commitment.

R.E.M.


Clearly you are unnecessarily overthinking this.
How about just enjoying the music?

Reviews of this album are not very good. However I find it most enjoyable. Less sugar coated than much of their stuff. And it really grows on you... kinda like long fuzzy beards do.

That's incredible! If Bill actually goes into DS... I was thinking this sounds like DS--creepy, in a cool way! EDIT: Yup, he did, and it does. *bow*

Ahhh, REM as they should sound. Quality stuff. Currently an 8, but potential to grow to 9

By some horrible stroke of fate, I'd not heard "Final Straw" until now. It gave me that wonderful shivery feeling that I rarely experience.

Dig it. I like this CD much better than other's they've put out, like Monster.

The version downloadable from the R.E.M. headquarter site about a year ago (or more? please correct me ...) was quite a bit better -- more voluminal depth. Still, I like it and I was disappointed that R.E.M. didn't ever (ok, once!) play it on their 2004 Europe tour.

Listening to this song makes me wish Stipe's vocals were still as unintelligible as they were on Murmur. Having grown up on R.E.M. it just sounds strange to me to hear Stipe enunciate this clearly.
He is making a very big point in this song. When they play it live they even have a screen with the words appearing as they are sung - I think the message is extremely important - so long may he enunciate these words!

Best REM song I've heard in a while. Sounds like he's ripping on Dumbya for acting in his holier-than-thou manner.
that's just what he's doin' and more power to him! :o

Overall, a disappointing album. However, this is a great song.
