Out of Time. I can listen to Losing My Religion everyday and not get sick of it

[Tiggi]

Unusual choice...

I agree with you that it's good, but it wouldn't be the critic's choice.

I like Texarkana as well.

[Tiggi]

... and this is part 1.

[emery7]

[NastyBudes]

Automatic for the people, but i hope that this album on the next poll

[hansherdel]

3 people really voted for Out of Time. That album's awful. But Murmur, dam what an album. Truly one of the best albums ever made

[TraceNspace]

^^^^I think Losing My Religion is a great song but yes, over all Out of Time was an awful album. Near Wild Heaven grates on my nerves as does Shiny Happy People most days! And Half a World a Way just drags on and on and bores me to tears. I say all this as a huge R.E.M. fan lol
