Cast No Shadow is a little underrated; never really thought too much of this song until now. Great album, though I can see the criticism of it just being one big wall of sound. However, it’s just so ingrained as a classic in my eyes I can’t give it anything but a 5. Can’t wait to see these two absolutely kill one another live on stage in 2025.
R.E.M. always reminds me of my Dad as they were one of his favorites when I was growing up. I was unfamiliar with most of the songs on this record, but I really enjoyed it! Highlights: Perfect Circle, Radio Free Europe

Sheesh, this is rough lyrically. A lot of interesting things musically. I just can’t see myself ever really sitting down and listening to this all the way through again.
Listen to it again, but imagine it’s Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem. Classic album.
Tentatively giving this a 2 because, yikes, I was not vibing with this at all today. I do think in the right frame of mind I might enjoy it more. Even so, entirely too bloated.
Hell yeah.
Highlights: Wish I Was Skinny, Lazarus Generally enjoyed this, but a little overly long and didn’t completely vibe with everything.
Interesting, and I enjoyed the music, but it’s a tough listen when you don’t speak the language. Also, it appears based on some research that this is clever lyrically - unfortunately, didn’t get to experience that.
Started really strong, but the second half of this was just really boring.
Not for me. I did enjoy “Planet of the Shapes” though - sounded like it could have been a track on the PS1 Spyro games.
