You should give Monster a listen. I think it's a well put together and produced ...oh wait. What's the Frequency was from Monster. Did you just hear the track or the album? Circus Envy is one of my faovrite songs, I love the overdriven guitar. Bang and Blame was a hit too.

I do like New Adventues in Hifi too. How the West was Won...is a bit slow to start with but then you're hit with Wake Up Bomb. I also like Leave/Departure, which are split onto different sides on the album but I think work well together on the CD where they're juxtaposed.

You have to wonder if they'd have carried on if Bill Berry was still around.

Up was their first album without him, and from what I read, Stipe has a lot of writer's block. I think he did a decent job. I like Walk Unafraid on that album. Again, Airport man is a slow opener.

Everybody Hurts I think splits a lot of fans. I'm not big on it, but I don't let it stop me enjoying the rest of the album.
