This is so far my favorite song from the unexpectedly good Accelerate. It combines elements of the both the hard mid-90's and jangly mid-80's versions of the band. In the live set it actually seemed…

One of the few new songs where they look like they're having fun playing it!

An image of John McCain kicking it out on the dancefloor like he just don't care just popped into my head. ;)

This should be the theme song the RNC'08. "A pageantry of empty gestures", indeed.

So how's it doing as a single? They don't even reach the Billboard Hot 100 much any more, that's the sad state music is in nowadays, and no reflection of them.

Yeah, Mills is better off being the back-up singer, I agree. Living Well Jesus Dog (the b-side to MSW) is the demo version of Living Well is the Best Revenge, by the sounds of it (just heard the iTunes snippet).

I can hold it :P I'm not greatly fond of Mills' voice but it works in the background. R.E.M. are back with such vigour... I'm proud of them :D

My favourite, too, I think. Though I do like the final note, and challenge all R.E.M. fans to try to hold it as long as Mills.

The last note is part of the charm. I swear, people will search high and low for something to bitch about.

By far my favourite song on the new album, even if I have to agree about that last note. (Though that's somehow worth it for the look on my girlfriend's face when SHE first heard the song hehehe)
