Originally posted by senorsheep View PostI just finished Reveal. Sweet mother of Christ, that was dull. You know what's worse than bad music? Music that's not even interesting enough to dislike. It evokes no response from me whatsoever. It's froth. Pretty and empty. Not hypnotic, just repetitive and pleasantly forgettable. It's something I'd put on if I wanted to take a nap on the bus. Other than Imitation Of Life, I can't remember anything I just heard, and I probably only remember that one because I've heard it before.
I wasn't wild about New Adventures, but there was enough there to make me want to give it another try. After I listened to Up, I couldn't wait to give it another listen. I don't really care if I ever hear Reveal again. If it magically appears in my collection someday, that'll be fine. If it doesn't, that'll be fine, too.
Around The Sun is even worse, huh? :shudder:
Woof.
For me, Up was their low point, and Reveal was on the upswing again but still pretty novocain-y. Around the Sun is much better - had some really solid tracks, even when they had another rapper, it wasn't an atrocity this time. I enjoyed Accelerate and from what I've heard during this draft, Collapse Into Now is pretty good too.
What's funny is there is a song on Reveal that is sooo slow and sleepy that I can't stand it, but I have a live version that's fantastic. I probably won't pick it because the Spotify version is awful.

Also love the William S Burrough's version of Star Me kitten ... makes me smile every time he reads that intro.
"... just fuck me kitten, you are wild, and I'm in your possession. Nothing's free, so fuck me kitten. So fuck me kitten"
That William S Burroughs crap is my least favorite song, ever. Not just my least favorite REM song. I would rather listen to Beiber.

Originally posted by TranaGreg View Postfun draft to watch ... I'm not around enough to participate, but I definitely need to get a spotify acct now & checkout that playlist.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

I know I'm up, I have to re-listen to a few songs then I'll make my pick. Should be up in an hour or so.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

johnny, quick correction, 'Laughing' is from Murmur (roster page). cheers!Last edited by DMT; 04-26-2013, 10:41 AM.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
