Title: Bill Berry was wise to leave the band that put out this junk
Product review: R.E.M. has created some really excellent songs, such as all of the songs on Murmur and most of the songs on Automatic For The People, to name but a few. But I think it can now be said that this band is out of ideas -- or at least is a heck of a lot more unreliable than it used to be. The first warning signs were the many missteps on Out Of Time. Then came Automatic For The People, which was a redemption of sorts, but also including Losing My Religion, one of the most irritating, vastly-overrated songs of all time. Then Monster proved that even previously great bands can put out PURE GARBAGE. New Adventures is just the latest example of decline. E-Bow The What?? Whatever...... Bill Berry flew the coop after this album. I don't blame him.
