happy i got this one

Why the fuck do Monty Got A Raw Deal and Ignoreland even exist?

My dad is 52 y/o
I bought him pic related at a grocery store today for Christmas.
I have never heard him talk about R.E.M. before, will he enjoy it? Is it dad rock enough?

Either Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
or pic related.

On the list of the most annoying bands in the history of rock and roll, R.E.M. comes in at number three along with U2, the Cure, the Smiths/Morrissey, and Rage Against The Machine. It was unfortunate to see America produce such a terrible band.
People talk about R.E.M. having under ground punk roots, but that sound is simply not there. Just because they started out on an independent label doesn't mean they're punk. It would be more accurate to call them the offspring of new wave, which was seen as a perversion of punk and one of the reasons (along with arena rock) why hardcore punk sprang up in America.
The worst part of R.E.M. has been Michael Stipe's mumbling, whining voice. On "Automatic For The People" his wretched whining reached an all-time high. "Everybody Hurts" has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
The rest of the album is also an energy draining experience, sure to induce catatonia. Not only does Stipe's voice convey absolute weakness, but the folksy music also wipes out any sign of hope.
America has a steady growth of self-proclaimed victims. The last thing any artist needs to do is validate those attitudes. Nobody needs this type of music, especially generation x. They're better off turning their sadness into anger.

This entire fucking album, and every pretty much ever album leading up to it. If REM broke up after this album, it would be the perfect moment, and if not for Blue, Find the River would be the greatest career finishing song in history.
The only album from the early REM era is Green, and even then, that has some 10/10 songs on it, like Orange Crush and Wrong Child.

This and Daydream Nation

Tick-tock, tick-tock
What do you do if you've done what happens? What happens if you walk you do now?
What if you tried to get off the baby are you now?

Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody, I do not know what to do to the baby

Kids, shake a leg a little
Maybe crazy in the head, your baby

Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you sway around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Drive, I walk you maybe perhaps
Baby, you will probably get off

Kids, shake a leg a little
Maybe crazy in the head, your baby

Ollie, ollie
Ollie, ollie, ollie
Orly, Orly is free baby come on

Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody, I do not know what to do to the baby

Smack, crack, lack-A-hut
Another tie the baby on your back

Hey kids, rock and roll
Baby does not show everyone where to go

Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you sway around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Drive, I walk you maybe perhaps
I try to get off, maybe baby

Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody, I do not know what to do to the baby

Hey kids, rock and roll
Not shown baby, baby, baby, where to go everyone

Mediocre. I like a few songs on this cd quite a bit, but I was not very impressed overall. I actually like an instrumental on the cd called "Nightswimming" more than anything else, which doesn't often speak well for an album with only one instrumental. Don't get me wrong, the album isn't terrible - it is good. But I don't think it is anything to rave about or to recommend to your friends. Better yet, if a friend already has it, borrow it before buying to save yourself any possible disappointment.

>says the album is good but gives it one star
