I have been a fan of REM for a couple of years now, i first got into them from my dad, who has also liked them a considerable amount of years. For his birthday i decided as he didnt already have it, i would buy him the new album (around the sun). He was chuffed with the new CD and also recieved another copy of the album from a friend, so he decided to give one to me. Now it was my plan to eventially purchase the new album, when i got round to it, but that was no longer neccessary. I first listened to the album having already heard plenty of times the track:
"Leaving New York", i had also heard a bit of "Wanderlast" & "Aftermath". So i played the album once and listened to each song, then played it a second time, then the third time i played it, each song came together and flowed perfectly. It didn't come as a surprise though, as REM always manage to deliver to the public as far as there records go. I then listened to this particular album consistantly for a whole week and still am now, i can't get enough of it. Here are the tracklistings:

1, Leaving New York (4.49)
2, Electron Blue (4.12)
3, The Outsiders (4.14)
4, Make It All Okay (3.44)
5, Final Straw (4.07)
6, I Wanted To Be Wrong (4.35)
7, Wanderlust (3.03)
8, Boy In The Well (5.22)
9, Aftermath (3.53)
10, High Speed Train (5.03)
11, The Worst Joke Ever (3.38)
12, The Ascent Of Man (4.07)
13, Around The Sun (4.28)

and some personal favourites and future hits to look out for are as follows:

3, The Outsiders (4.14)
4, Make It All Okay (3.44)
7, Wanderlust (3.03)
8, Boy In The Well (5.22)
9, Aftermath (3.53)
10, High Speed Train (5.03)
11, The Worst Joke Ever (3.38)
13, Around The Sun (4.28)

High speed train for instance is up there with "losing my religion" as far as i'm concerned. The lyrics are phoenomenal, these have to be the best lyrically tuned band around. To me they are anyway. This album is a must have, you'll hopefully understand there talent and ability to produce great tracks over and over again.
