"What to make of Out Of Time? As an R.E.M mega fan I’ve grappled with this question for 25 years & TBH I still don’t know & may never fully understand.

"This album really ought to be in the top 100. I'm realizing how hard I'm finding it to write accurate description of these albums, rather, why I like them. I like them because the underlying music is good. That's all there is too it." Reply
