Review: R.E.M. – Around the Sun
With their single Leaving New York out, I thought their album could be interesting, not having listened to anything new for a few decades. In the end (after the full 3 obligatory rounds of the whole album), I was bored to death. Where they managed to get at least a faint melody on Leaving New York, the rest of the songs sound just like it, and I mean only the verse part. This album features songs that will put kids with ADHD to sleep in no time. If you ever feel overly excited, this album will bring your mood down a few notches for sure.4.
