Title: this album is nothing but a bunch of blah!!!!
Product review: This is anything but a tribute album. When I think of a tribute album, I think of the Depeche Mode, Music For The Masses. It has bands like The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, God lives Under Water, and so on doing Depeche Mode covers. But the songs that the bands cover are in their own music's style. The Cure with their moody pop, Smashing Pumpkis with alternative rock, god lives underwater with industrial. The tribute bands preserved the original songs sound, while adding their own flavor.BUT, this "tribute" album for R.E.M. is complete garbgage!!! The band played the original R.E.M. music, with out any originality and they sound like a highschool garage band, while the singers tries way too hard to sound like Mike Stipes. In other words, this album misses the point of what a tribute album is (see the first paragraph to know what a tribute album is)
