it seemed like a calculated act after that. This is our "eclectic" one! This is our "Rockin'" one! "This is our serious one!"
I know what you mean. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's more or less exactly how it worked in the studio. Peter Buck decided the mood of their records - 'This will be our Nebraska' - and they were always in some manner reacting against the previous LP rather than evolving naturally in the way they had seemed to on IRS.
I saw it as moribund, pretentious AND shallow - a lot of it reminded me of a Hallmark card.
You're a lot harsher than I'd be. I evidently have a much higher tolerance for Warner Bros era R.E.M. than you do, pretty much enjoying everything up to and including Up (barring perhaps half of Automatic for the People and half of Monster) but I still know exactly where you're coming from.There is no noun that cannot be verbed.

Don't worry, I forgive you for your misguided opinion on REM.
Stipe still thinks it's their best.
Actually, I've heard him say more than once,
Lifes rich pageant
and
New adventures in Hi-Fi
are his favorites and Best records(And I concur
