Who should PJ hire to replace EV?

[tragabigzanda]

Up is very easily my favorite R.E.M. album

[evenslow]

you guys can start a shitty taste club together.

[tragabigzanda]

we already have one, it's called RM

[liebzz]

A) no one should replace EV. They just need to take the band back from him;

B) New Adventures in HiFi is REM’s best record.

S/T is way way better than Up

You are an insane lunatic

I don't think EV should be replaced.

However, I remember back in the pre/post Avocado days Mike saying something about them releasing an EP. I also sort of remember EP talk when they left Epic and they weren't exactly sure what their future releases would look like because they were "exploring options".

I always thought that would be a great idea. Instead of forcing an album, or waiting for side projects, family commitments, etc to settle down, just release an EP of (hopefully) really solid material, and hit the road every year or so.

If Avo, BS and LB were all 4-5 track EPs instead of bloated with crap tracks, it'd have been a massive improvement.

Force of Nature is the worst song ever.

[Monkey_Driven]

Force of Nature is the worst song ever.

Nah.

[Hatfield]

Up is top tier REM you fucking rubes.

I mean, really! Evenslow....Collapse into Now above UP?!?! I don't feel like I know you anymore.

I will say that just seeing the thread topic had me laugh out loud. The absurdity of it, but also the reality that he is the weaker link in modern day PJ. At least Jeff is getting better each tour!

Yeah, e-slow and I agree on music like 90% of the time. This one was surprising for me.

[chewm]

S/T is way way better than Up/Reveal it's not even close.

Im a huge S/T apologist but this is so fucking wrong.

Up is top tier REM you fucking rubes.

Yeah.

[chewm]

Force of Nature is the worst song ever.

Nah.

It's my favorite song from the last 2 albums. That doesn't mean a lot but I like it.

I like it too. Put it in the Yield recording sessions and it would do just fine.

The intro drums immediately turn me off... and it just keeps getting more terrible

I'm not even that big of a REM fan, and I f'ing love Up

whoever said that S/T is better than Up should be ashamed. i don't even want to scroll up to see who said that, bc I don't want remember who I need to judge for the rest of my life

[bodysnatcher]

in fact, i'm gonna listen to Up RIGHT NOW.
