I know there's a thread about "Discoverer," but I figured it'd be good to have one about the album proper.

Anyway, they released another song from the record today, "It Happened Today," which features Eddie Vedder:

I like this one a lot better than "Discoverer". Love the ending section with Eddie and Mike Mills, sounds like one of the better cuts from Out of Time.

    my wife and i are already hoping to catch REM and PJ at same show. May be a long shot but that would be really awesome show and trip. thinking maybe 10th wedding anniversary type trip.

    +1 but there's a nasty rumour they won't be touring to promote it.

    Stipe's voice sounds as great as ever... but I continue to find myself underwhelmed by their music as of late... something got lost in the late 90's. Up was good, and then...

    Take a listen to new song "Oh My Heart" here: http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2011/ ... from-r-e-m

    It sounds great!

    Sounds good!
    Can't wait for the album.
    R.E.M. still is a great band after all these years.
  • tcaporaletcaporale Posts: 1,577
    Some of the lyrics seem to reference "Houston," which is cool. That's one of the better songs from their previous album.

    I like all three songs that I've heard so far from this record.

    Been reading a bunch of early impressions that say it's their best since New Adventures in Hi-Fi.

    I definitely have to see this band live if they tour for this album or on a later tour. I rarely see concerts, but this band is on my list of "must see before I die" live acts.
  • tcaporaletcaporale Posts: 1,577
    Another new song! (With a bit of an unfortunate title...)

    "Mine Smell Like Honey": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-lzCaG ... r_embedded
  • William WallaceWilliam Wallace Posts: 553
    Mine Smell Like Honey sounds fantastic!
    I think this will be another great R.E.M. album after listening to these four songs (It happened..., Discoverer, Oh my heart, Mine smells...).
  • whulmefwhulmef Posts: 176
    I agree. Discoverer has grown on me quite a bit. I was skeptical the first time I heard it and the other two new ones, but I do think this new album will be great. Hopefully these Bonnaroo rumors are true.

    I just bought a $10.00 ticket to attend the new album Pre-Release Listening Party at the 40 Watt Club in Athens. They've been doing these pre-release listening parties since 'Automatic For The People'. Thought I'd grab a ticket and head over to crazy Athens and check one of these events out. The band doesn't attend, but this has become a cool local tradition in Athens, so I might as well check it out before they stop doing these types of things.

    That sounds very cool. Even without the band there, nice fan tradition.

    I've heard a few things from various journalists who've heard the album that the final track ('Blue') is one of the best things they've released in years. Really looking forward to this - love everything I've heard from it so far.

    This is one is great... Wow... I wasn't impressed with the first track they put out... but maybe I have to listen to it again... because this Oh My Heart song is quite stunning. Definitely changing my outlook on the new album.
