Most of this album is semi-predictable Michael Stipe, innocuous shit. While most of the album got plenty of airplay, the best song got none. The most underutilized and under-appreciated track on this album is Ignoreland. Some things never change. Listen to this song. turn it up... LOUD "These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v Them years, wrecking all things virtuous and true. The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal. Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool... ...marched into the capital brooding duplicitous wicked and able, media-ready heartless, and labeled Super US citizen, super achiever. Mega ultra power dosing, relax (Defense, defense, defense, defense ... )" Does this sound familiar... ? There's more. "I know that this is vitriol, no solution, spleen-venting But I feel better having screamed, don't you...?" Listen to this song. turn it up... LOUD and think about what's changed in 30 years. Now consider what needs to change...
