REM's latest album is by far the best one since the departure of drummer turned farmer, Bill Berry. Murmur and Life's Rich Pageant are still by far my favorites, but Accelerate is climbing up to the top of that list by leaps and bounds.
Here is a portion of the lyrics of one of the latest songs....
"It's only when your poison spins into
the life you'd hoped to live
That suddenly you wake up in a shaking panic - wow!
You set me up like a lamb to slaughter
Garbo as a farmer's daughter
Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?
I lay right down.
All your sad and lost apostles hum my
name and flare their nostrils
Choking on the bones you toss to them
Well I'm not one to sit and spin
'Cause living well's the best revenge
Baby, I am calling you on that."
How can you not love it.
