Title: Not among their best
Product review: But still better than 99.9% of what's out there.The band sounds a little fried and weary to me. Some of the songs are among their best work - Leave, Electrolyte, and particularly Be Mine - but overall it's a little lacking.Of course, the standards REM has set are so high that it's hard for me to be truly objective. This is the best American Band of all time (with possible exception of Allman Brothers.) On a strictly comparative basis, New Adventures is not up there with most of the IRS collection or Automatic or Up.
