disagree... this album has a few amazing songs, but the rest of it feels like ideas gone stale... the strangeness of 'Up' is way more fresh.

One of my favorite albums. This album had a huge impact on my musical tastes. Thank you R.E.M.

One of the best albums they ever made.

The album cover is perfect. This music sounds like movement.

I bought this in 1997 or '98. Didn't care too much for it. I realized in 2012 that it's their best album, and "Leave" and "Electrolite" are two of the best songs R.E.M. ever wrote.

the best album.

The last great one they did, but I hesitate in ranking it with their very best. Whenever it gets remastered they should give the tracks recorded live better clarity and it'll really be killer. There's some interesting instrumentation that's completely hidden from the ears unless you really beef up your equalizer treble.

In many ways this album prefigured 'Up' some electronica sounds that were used in 'New Test leper' for example, later reappeared in Up songs like Walk Unafraid, Sad Professor... Critics have described this album as 'transitional' and I agree, for it marks a shift in sounds from organic (i.e. Automatic) to synthetic (i.e. Reveal) albums

Who rates this album poorly? Overlooked and underrated aren't the same thing.

One of their best (if not the best) that's for sure. So Fast, So Numb, Leave and How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us are simply amazing. Pure gold. This album has that specific sound that makes me love it much more than every other R.E.M. album (although I love them all except Around The Sun).

I love this album. It made me go waaay beyond Losing my Religion...

splattermania
It's under-rated because it's just always discarded for the popular 'Automatic for the People' and 'Out of Time' albums (look at their listener numbers). Also my favourite R.E.M. album.

Most underrated R.E.M. album.

This album and Around the Sun were two really experimental albums, this one had all these amazing new musical experiments going on, whilst Around the Sun had some beautifully dark themes (shame it wasn't as musically together). I'd like the lovechild of this album and Around the Sun for the next R.E.M. record. Accelerate was a nice reminder, but lets have something more progressive next time guys.

I still don't understand why this album wasn't a massive success, it is indeed my favorite REM album.

I agree with all of the comments below. I think this is by far REM's best album, great lyrics & only one I keep coming back to again and again. Worth getting just for 'How The West Was Won' alone.

this album is pure gold

android1985
underrated yes, and the E-Bow The Letter/Leave sequence is surely one of the best in any R.E.M. album...
