 Listening is always pleasant, but it lacks the depth that allowed other R.E.M. works to endure over time.

 The melodies are often a bit predictable, and the presence of 'Leaving New York' as the first track gives the unpleasant sensation that the best course is served first.

 "'Leaving New York' is the best song of the year and would alone be worth the price of the CD."

 "Around The Sun presents R.E.M. as melancholic minstrels in a world moving too fast, forgetting life's true meaning."

 Listen to R.E.M.'s Around The Sun and experience the emotional depth of 'Leaving New York' and more timeless tracks.

 From the first note to the last I was simply Mesmerized. Hypnotized. Fascinated.

 I bow and take my hat off to the ugliest and least inspired album by R.E.M., the lowest point in their career, a true misstep.
