:D It's really cute. There's an interview with Michael and Coldplay somewhere on youtube. It's very cute. They've performed together too!

 

Oh my god! I didn't know there was a connection there - I thought that song was about Blur's relationship with their record company EMI. That is so cool. I'm gonna search for that. I love that song.

Yeah yeah, I think it's about both it stands for EMI and then I think maybe the stipe thing was a joke maybe or something but Damon def. mentioned REM when talking about the name of that song too.

:D That is so damn cool! Thanks for the info!

I think this has the potential to be not only the best of the post Berry albums but maybe even one of the best released while recording for Warner Brothers.

I love it!! :heart:

The new album is just great. "Every Day Is Yours To Win" is wonderful. What a fantastic song.:cool:

I like R.E.M, my favorite song is Man on the moon :nice:

Been listening to Collapse Into Now and so far it's really good. Gonna give it another listen.

I liked Collapse Into Now a LOT! it flowed very well!

they're good... but i don't know very much of them

some songs

Bump. Have to say that i love the album. It's up there with New Adventures in Hi-Fi.

 

Too bad they decided not to tour this record.

Bought their new album just recently and thought it was really really good. Arguably their best post Berry.

"Post-Berry"

 

A phrase that means something only to REM fans! Not to mention a statement that I agree with. Although I did like Accelerate a lot and I have a soft spot it my heart for Up just for trying so hard...

My favourite tracks from COI: UBerlin, Mine Smell Like Honey, Alligator_Aviator_Antipilot_Antimatter, Blue (loved the Discoverer reprise).

 

Kinda dissapointed about the lack of promotion of this record, especially in Australia.

Yeah there's almost no promotion at all which is a shame for such a good album. Uberlin's fantastic but I also really enjoy Discoverer as well.

R.E.M.: 1980-2011

They have broken up. One of my all-time favourite bands. They will be missed.

WTF?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bigcry:

Nooooooooooooooooo.. :bigcry:

:(

Sad times, mainly because I consider them to be one of my first quality rock discoveries years ago. They've been rocking long enough to appeal to multiple generations.

 

Personally, though, I feel it was probably time for them to move on and that they made the right decision to leave with dignity and a solid legacy. I've noticed some bands become purely nostalgia acts after existing for several decades. I would like to have seen R.E.M. live one day, but not like that. So good show, boys. Thanks for everything.
