I like R.E.M. a lot and have ever since I first heard “Radio Free Europe” on WXRT in 1983. I have mixed feelings about this album though. One one hand I dislike “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite” and “Man On The Moon” so much that I rarely listen to the rest of the album. On the other hand it has “Nightswimming” which is gorgeous and probably my favorite song of theirs. Everything else is somewhere in the middle, which is fine I guess. And that’s my review of this album – It’s fine.

I’ve shared “Nightswimming” as RSOTD in the past so “Try Not To Breathe” is my feature.
