There was probably a big ILM thread about Tom Junod's piece a couple of years back, but what the hell.

Ned, Jim Steinman would be outraged by the lack of drama on these tracks.

I love REM and for a while in my teens they were my favourite band but I refuse to believe that anyone was craving a Michael Stipe solo record.

This isn't terrible, but it's kinda lame.

I always remeber back when they got the VMA Video Vanguard Award in 1995, I think. One of the clips showed the four of them sitting on a couch and Stipe saying "if any of the four guys stood up and left the couch, we would not be R.E.M. anymore". Which ended up being so prescient; the moment Berry left the band, they were never, never the same again.
― cpl593H, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 11:05 (four years ago) link
Funny, that, because after Berry left he said the exact opposite. He was quoted as saying "a three-legged dog is still a dog. It just has to learn how to walk differently."

― van dyke parks generator (anagram), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 11:36 (four years ago) link
Studio period after Berry quit included some of their best songs and then they picked a great drummer in Bill Rieflin and became a tight band again in that fun period covering the last couple of albums.

That is a good one!
But fuck, I'm not sure if it says more about me or the state of the world right now that I got reallllll nervous for a hot second seeing tow Stipe/R.E.M. threads bumped right in a row. Imagine my relief when I scrolled down to the bottom of each.
