But then there was The Bends, Sulk, Nice Dream, Bones, Black Star, High and Dry.
Half of the album is really really good, I find, but then the rest is your typical 90s alternative college rock.

You missed out my personal favourite 'Just.'
I think the typical 90s mixed with them songs is a good thing, it makes the album better.

I never understand why people hold R.E.M in such a high regard, I mean some of their stuff is alright. Can never seem to listen to one of their albums fully. But meh, there must be a reason for them being as big as they are.
