Bout to put me into REM sleep it’s so boring

big nothing

This was bad! But I do like Orange Crush. There was a lyric in the very lame song You Are Everything that is, “you’re drifting off to sleep with your teeth in your mouth,” which made me think of my Dad’s dentures and how he’s drifting off to sleep with his teeth on the bathroom counter

R.E.M are Beige: The Band and this is aggressively bland. This feels like what happens when you let one of those guitar wankers who plays Wonderwall and Stairway on loop actually make their own music. It's like we took the lyrics of the 70s, but none of the musical interest that made it properly hit. The biggest song on this album is also the best one, but I was even ready for Orange Crush to end half-way through. It's only 4 minutes long!

I might've enjoyed this album more if I was at any other stage of my life. Instead I just felt kinda annoyed at the lack of energy and how down-in-the-dumps it was. I actually think there are some interesting melodies on this album, but having to listen to Michael Stipe tell me how much life sucks got old halfway through the album.

Tbh this wasn't it for me

vou dar uma estrela para todos os álbuns que eu não ouvi

1st track- pretty good, 7/10 2nd track- kinda ass so far wtf, 2/10 3rd track- the voice cracks pmo, very forgettable 2/10 4th track - i liked the key shifts, he is sooo whiny omg 4/10 5th track - its ok i guess. i really hate 80's production 3/10 6th track - i really like the piano, and i fucking hate his voice sooo much omg why is he complaining about kids laughing at him in his annoying voice 3/10 7th track - the whining works? 6/10 i wouldnt go back to it but its not bad. 8th track - this would have been really good without it being 80's, give this to weezer itd be absolutely peak 5/10 9th track- this is sooo ass omg 1/10 way to slow his vibrato pmo 10th track- not bad, 5/10 11th track- THIS IS ASS lol the layering is off. did not feel like a end to an album 1/10 i did not like this, it is not conherent, lyrics dont have much behind them, and overall just isnt my taste, id say like a 3/10, there is worse but things can be a whole lot better.

1. pop -1 2. get - 1 3. everything - 1.5 4. Stand -1 5. World - 1.5 6. Child- 1.5 7. Orange - 1.5 8. Inside -0 9. Shirt- 1 10. California - 1.5 11. Untitled -1

I've never listened to this album (30). Bald guy music. Boring.

Couldn't really get into the album. It's just not for me.

I never really liked them much.

Het hele album klinkt hetzelfde, en als je dat geluid niet kan waarderen kom je niet heel erg ver. De zanger van R.E.M. heeft een hele zeurderige stem die tijdens een heel album beluisteren wel echt gaat vervelen en irriteren.

These guys are so hot and cold. This album is cold as anything.

90s sitcom theme song music

1.5 favs: - world leader pretender

Yeah not for me I'm afraid.

I can't

It's not a coincidence that I avoid REM (whereas WAR was a total surprise out of nowhere). One of them was alright to begin with but just turned into the usual REM dirge. It might be Stipe's earnest droning voice. It might be the instrumentation (but no - the band are perfectly good. It's definitely Stipe. He's whining.

how in the world is this on the list? its like bad and boring dave matthew’s band

Never really liked R.E.M. They've always come across to me as a band that loves smelling their own farts, and they expect you to enjoy it as well. The only redeemable song on the album is "Stand" but even that one gets old fast.

This shit sucks

I’m not sure why this simple music is considered smart? Is it because it’s so impossibly white? Stipe’s childish lyrics and atonal vocals, joined by average rock-folk instrumentals, and you somehow get a legion of pampered white collegiate devotes swooning to their groove. Ugh. What the loving fuck? Hard to find a more overrated group.

1/10 I only truly resonated with one song off this album, I also found that I didn’t fancy the lyricism throughout my listening. Unfortunately this was not to my taste at all.

Shite

This was brutally hard to listen to. I thought I liked R.E.M. (granted I only know their most popular songs), but I think I might be wrong on that account. I skipped the latter half of nearly every song because I couldn't stand for it to go on. The lead singer's voice grated on my last nerve. 0/5, if I could

Awful

this album is just as disappointing now as it was when i first heard Orange Crush and asked my dad to let me listen to the entire album. it might be the most boring R.E.M. album

This might be the most boring album I've ever heard. Not bad, but so boring.

I have never liked R.E.M. and never will. I do not like college rock.

Crap

It's shit

can't even get past the first song, horrible, worst album of all time

Sucks

painfully generic. very plain rock

Not my taste in music was okay

I didn't think this would be as shit as it actually is. Really not for me at all

ass

Not again. I regret every day not giving the other REM album a 1. I think about it. If it wasn’t for man on the moon, that puppy was dead. Now. This one is earlier and may have some vitality that wasn’t wrung out by corporate rock radio. Not holding out hope. Well maybe a little. Is that… life??? Is that an alive Michael Stipe not buried in an inky, glimmering shit pile? This song is nice. It’s not great, but it’s something and that really is something compared to the 1992 one. Get up is whatever. It kind of floats by. This is too ballad-y. Gets a little medieval. The theme song to the greatest anti-sitcom ever produced. Simple and decent but it’s forever associated with Get a Life. Which is the best. Man the pseudo country stuff sucks for this. But the vocal melody is excellent in places and the piano is nice. Nah man. Don’t say happy game to play. This sucks. Kingdom Come Deliverance background music with one of the players of the game singing. No man. Stop. This is fucking embarrassing. Uwu I’m just a wittle boy, I have no fwiends. This is the worst. Lowlight alert. I hate that I like the vocal thing at the end, but otherwise this was an immolated garbage barge. Product placement time. I always liked this song when I was younger. It’s fine. This sounds like Bon Jovi and u2 doing a medley track. How does that sound to you? Imagine it. I think it sounds like a benefit concert for Wall Street bankers who had to pay taxes this year. Hard pass. Guys. Come on here. STOP. What was this song????? I wish I could forget California. Although I really like the sombre riff here. This is pre-Nirvana. Very good riff but insufferable whining vocally. Ok. This song sucks. This bad boy is coming into the station. A once proud locomotive has lost all steam, spray painted with tags from disappointed locals from the towns it trudged through. Where I could’ve seen myself giving this album a higher score earlier. It just ensured that I hated it. It tried to get me to hate it. It succeeded. Minimal highlights. Overrated junk. 1-1.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Stand, I Remember California

Ikke min stil overhoved

Det er ikke fordi jeg er en dedikeret REM hater men jeg har allerede glemt alle de her numre og jeg har lige hørt albummet

thumbs down

REM - abit hit and miss for me, only really like there popular stuff like the basic bitch i am

I really expected to like this album a lot more than I did. I feel like it's not really pop or rock, so it sits in this almost uncanny valley between the two genres. Every song has a moment or two that I enjoyed, but the songs themselves feel jarring and musically uncomfortable in my opinion. Not a very pleasant listen

Que picolé de xuxu. Som sem graça, monotônico, monotemático, monovoz, mononota. Super sem graça e chato. REM pra mim é one hit wonder...não tem como caracterizar esses caras dentro do rock...

mid first track mid second track bad third track mid fourth track mid fifth track bad 6th track good 7th trqck mid 8th track bad 9th track mid 10th track mid 11th track

coñazo inhumano

Was looking forward to this album when I saw a couple of REMs hits on it. Aprr of those hits, nothing else was worth the listen

Kut band

As someone who has even liked REM in the past!: tbh I don't know why it made the list. Lousy poetry, not sold on the politics (in fairness, politics are fucking hard to write about cleverly and convincingly), musically meh, and the interplay between lyrics/vocals and music meh.

Bland and annoying vocals. Imo, there’s so much better alt rock out there. I don’t get the hype

Nothing offensive about this. R.E.M. has always been a "greatest hits" band for me generally speaking. Maybe it was groundbreaking or very innovative in indie rock for it's time and michale stipe is a very iconic voice in both lyrics and general tone but nothing outside of Orange Crush really hits for me.

I am a R.E.M. hater - sue me

nautin tästä harmillisen vähän. hyvin laajalti arvostettua bändi kyseessä ja silti toista ykköstä viedään, vaikkakin automatic for the popula albumissa oli todella hyvää settiä. kaikisssa albumeissa samanlaiset wibat mutta biisit ovat tässä vaan tylsempiä, mitäänsanomattomia.. mahdolllisesti kymmenen vuotta sitten tämä olisi voinut pinttyä aivosoluihin joka veisi musiikkimakuani tulevaisuuten...nostalgiaefekti pakko olla läsnä... muuten tämä on täyttä kuravettä.. jota se on.. world leader pretend

I liked maybe one or two songs but I was quite bored listening to this..

Blegh

Hate it. 0/10. Every song reminds me of the 2 rem songs I do like in a very repetitive and not at all satisfying manner.

REM SUCKS!!!!! If I could only give zero stars

I don’t know who bothered to remaster this piece of hot garbage, but clearly they wasted their time. The album was whiney and pretty annoying to listen to. I make fun of music like this all the time.

Nothing stands out very much with this album, and while I can appreciate it probably was potentially inspirational to the future of alt-rock music, it seems so bland and non-provoking that I would not listen to it again, and will likely not think of it again. 1/5 or 21/100.

flop

Honestly, i’m such a big fan of every REM album but this one. I felt i kinda had to push my way through it. I honestly don’t know if i could even choose a favorite from this album. was not the vibe. Any other album i would have absolutely loved.

Not my cup of tea

Not for me

R.E.M. is bland and boring. The lyrics are shallow. Trash. 1/5.

Nope

Not the biggest REM fan, and this album didn't really change that

Again one of the albums which should‘ve made place for more unique ones that lack this list so hurtfully. Instead we got a relevance through sales listing / big name

R.E.M was never my thing outside of the most popular songs (Orange Crush included which is on this album and it’s a great song). I don’t particularly care for the sound or vocals much, so this is miss in my personal opinion.

Overrated

Nope
