@ REM (No OtR)

["Bruce Lachey" <b_lachey at hotmail_com>]

Jeez, REM has always been pop.  Make no mistake, there's nothing wrong 
with that.  Murmer, almost universally hailed as a masterwork, was just 
folk tinged pop (Catapult, 9-9, We Walk).  I typically only enjoy like 
half of any REM album of the last 10 years (save Automatic, which drew 
me in start to end).  Monster had "Let Me In" and "King of Comedy", 
Hi-Fi had "Leave".

Definitely OoTime's "Country Feedback" is up there on the list of 
sublime songs.  It was one of them that I hated in the beginning, and 
it's the only thing I love of the CD still.

The new one, Up, out next Tuesday, is said to be really good stuff.  But 
WB promotions has us believing that about everything.  They've been 
playing "Lotus" on the radio here a bit, something other than 
"Daysleeper" from the new one.  Really good.  The album graphics are 
pretty cool.

Anyway, judge for yourself; watch them on David Letterman tonight 
(Thurs) and tomorrow night (Friday night).  It's free in most markets.

Bruce
