I finally got around to listening to Collapse Into Now, and I'm declaring it an instant favorite. Hearing it this long after the break-up made it impossible not to hear it as a sort of career retrospective, which is how I'm choosing to view the album as a whole. There's plenty of nods both lyrically and melodically to much of their past work, isn't there?
I wish these guys were still around.

I had the choice between seeing them or Radiohead in 2003, and I chose Radiohead. I'm not sure I would make a different decision if faced with that same scenario again, weirdly enough.

oh this band...im not sure if i can listen to their songs again, they are just too personal now for me, and it just hurts. Not because of their breakup, but for a different reason.
That having said, Collapse into now is a wonderful record...and Blue, a masterpiece.

I saw Radiohead last year and it was the best show I have ever been to. You didnt choose wrong.

i saw both bands and REM was far more emotional than RH for me. Still both bands are amazing, i dont know why we have to choose one, but in my list REM ranks higher.
