What can I say about a collection of world class hits from one of the greatest bands of the last fifty years, comparrable to The Beatles, The kinks...
To put it simply, before this album I'd heard a couple of songs and bought one album. Now I own evrey single one.
Evrey song is a gem; Genius lyrics, catchy tunes, edgey and quirky vocals.
It opens with man on the moon, and you can feel the mood of this song the minute it starts.
Losing my religeon of course takes the main stage as track six, why quirky and infamously under-rated 'Bad day' clicks on at 3.
Tracks like Animal have been written especially for the album, and although they're no where near a reflection of the bands best work, they're great tracks from a band that obviously doesnt beleive in Filler.
Walken signing out, Goodnight Chicargo!

A lot of great songs missed it though. It really would have done better as a double disc album.

Great album,I had good times at school and college with that album playing in the distance.
The albums quite meloncholy and depressing in a kinda nostalgic and nice way.

One of my favorite songs by REM is "Whats the frequency Kenneth?"

I nearly went to see these guys, then my mother changed her mind and took the ticket that was originally bought for her anyway.
I love playing 'Everybody Hurts' on the guitar, beautiful song. When I hear 'Losing me Religion' it stays in my head for days. I also really like Man on the Moon.

You should buy an album and get out of the main stream. They have some beautiful songs that you wouldn't have heard yet.
The One I love isn't on there.
