. . . talkin’ to myself and feelin’ old . . .

this person is oblivious to all outside stimuli.

reveal was not a disapointment. and the stuff they played live in dublin sounded great. but i agree. up and around the sun were definitely not up to par. it was like REM’s version synchronicity. bleh

Yeah, you can’t make believe you hate the Police one minute, and then claim they’re your favorite band the next. What kind of shit it that? I mean, really.

They are one the greatest of all time. And Stewart Copeland is the greatest drummer ever!!!!

And John Bonham and you too, Poppie!!!! (MM IS incredible!!!!)

you can’t have it both ways

a new album from la policia? i don’t care if it takes fisticuffs in the studio; bring on the fight. and if you don’t care about it, why are you bothering to post here?

since bill left, r.e.m. albums have been a major disappointment for me. peter plays well with robyn hitchcock.

Yeah, the way musicians faces look always translate into the sound live and in the studio. What do you want? They’re old men.

Stewart and Sting are in their 50s and Andy is in his middle 60’s (yes, he’s ten years older. For a guy pushing 70, he doesn’t look that bad, now does he???)

i love these guys, but good lord dudes, get a face lift.

We’re talking about REM in a Police thread. Interesting logic.
Anyway, if there will ever be a new album, I would love to hear it.
I don’t know if it’ll be as good as their classic albums but I first would like to hear it before I judge.

Nope, this is a POLICE thread, and some of us are using false names and making idle chatter to cover their tracks. But no, sweetness, this is indeed a Police thread.

imo…like most of REM’s material prior to out of time.

r.e.m.’s first 4 lp’s are all great-murmur, reckoning, fables of the reconstruction and life’s rich pageant….in my opinion at least.

you’re funny! can anyone of you stay on topic? REM this, REM that. REM left, REM right. you’re funny!

haha. does anyone have anything to say thats on topic (relating to those awesome highly inventive rockers the police)
i have a few questions for all the REM haters: has REM ever released anything to be classified under new age? has REM ever indulged in mindless lute playing? has REM ever recorded de do do do de da da da? im not saying the police suck entirely. when they were good, they were great. but do you think they could honestly make an album of new songs that come anywhere near dont stand so close to me/roxanne?

Sorry, I’m in your driveway. Don’t worry about the gas, I’ve already credited your account.

The wilderness is the destination (no choice)!

This is not A VOLUNTARY program! You’re going whether you like it or not (if you know who i was you would know that)!!!!

And I’ve heard enough REM to know that’s it’s ALL HORRIBLE. This REM thing does go a long to explain you! REM is fuckin’ NERD ROCK!!!!

PS Just the fact that Stipe would contemplate writing a song like “Shiny Happy People” makes him a musical cancer!

Neither. That’s REM’s worst song.
Save your gas money.

you’re a damned fool!!! you want to listen to weasely music, have at it!

Congratulations, I hear a prefrontal labotomy is a real freeing experience.

Well, if you must know,I’m gonna first shoot the shiny people.
And when the moon is full, I’m going to tie the happy people to the dead bodies of the shiny people and drag all of them into the wilderness until the cheetahs come and eat all of them alive (or dead)!!!

So which one are you? A shiny or a happy person?

I can have a van out your way in about 20 minutes!!!

Some of you must have been stung really badly if you’re going to diss and ignore REM.

I think anyone who’s a fan of REM should be restricted from participating in any serious discussion about music.

REM . . . yeah that explains a lot. I didn’t know what Sweetness Follows was becuase I wouldn’t be caught dead listening to that band!!!

I thought everything from REM was terrible!!!!

Sweetness Follows might be the worst REM song.

Stewie lose those fuckin’ glasses!!!! You can’t find a frame a little more flattering?!

See you in Atlanta

what sweetness? You should change your screennanme to “unrelenting bile.”

Ya, see. That comment right there proves what an incredible idiot you are!!! Pearl Jam yes. Police no. =Idiot

Why don’t you go play your boring country and western Neil Young records while you at it.

a: do we care?
