tracklist sabotage.

not that i want to start another r.e.m. thread or anything
but for the life of me i can't think of a record more lazily
ruined by it's terrible programming than 'up'.
like, "hey i know the first track should be the long mumbled obtuse artyweird one that goes on interminably and then we'll follow
that with the only rock-y one (that's awful), then kick in with what should *realy* have been the opener all along (suspicion)..."
i mean even the band hated what they'd done.
*and* it's 2 songs too long (at least).

stil love it, am not surprised few outside the fanbase do.

hey, Up is probably my favorite REM album. I think I like in the same way that a lot of people like Radiohead; it has that bleak "I've been stuck at the airport for 36 hours and haven't slept the whole time" feel to it. It always reminds me of the "I couldn't sleep" scene in fight club.
