The album "Document"is truly amazing!R.E.M have come up trumps with this offering of musical wizardrey as they have done so many times before. Such tracks as "Strange" & "It's the end of the world as we know it" are brilliant and some of the best I have heard in a long time from R.E.M. The album is made up of many typical R.E.M tunes but also some more original material.The lyrics are fabulous and make you want to go out and by R.E.M's other albums. I have listened to this album over and over again and I never get tired of it, infact, it seems to just get better and better! I would recommend this album to those who are already fans of R.E.M but also to those who may be sceptical as this is overall a really fine album.I take my hat off to R.E.M as they have really out done themselves, once again, with this musical offering.
