I think they're a G.R.E.A.T. band
Lucas Wood
i only really like their early stuff but they receive retroactive based points for being one of few bands in the last couple decades to break up permanently just because they ran out of steam, without hating each other or someone dying or accused of rape
Owen Lopez
Uberlin is one of their best songs, best way to end it all
Juan Johnson
I agree, their IRS stuff is their best.
Elijah Ramirez
Their output in the 80s was excellent
Their 90s album were pretty inconsistent. Out of Time has some amazing songs, but their sandwiched in-between terrible to mediocre material. Hi-Fi is a mess and feels like a collection of scraped songs from through out their discography. Up is just alright. Automatic and Monster are easily their best albums from that decade because they mostly stick to one sound/style and the songwriting is mostly good.

They don’t hate each other. Stipe and the rest of the band hate each other.
First thing I remember hearing when they broke up is mike mills saying We will never play together again.
But mike mills and Peter buck have played together lots of times since then.
Tyler Cruz
they still got them all in the same room again for the Netflix Song Exploder show which they didn’t have to agree to at all
the creative chemistry might not be there and Stipe may be a bit of an obnoxious queen but I still think they have an attachment and camaraderie even if they don’t want to work together on a daily basis

I never really listened to them because I thought they were just for depressed people in their 30's. Then a song from Murmur played on shuffle and I was surprised when I saw what band it was and listened to the whole thing. That was like two weeks ago and pretty much all I've listened to since is their albums from Murmur to New Adventures in Hi-Fi. I've listened to them all straight through in chronological order like three times and some like Document and Automatic for the People I've listened to two or three time in a row a few times. I haven't listened to anything past Monster and I don't know that I want to. At least not until the honeymoon phase is over
TL;DR now that I'm a depressed 30-year-old, R.E.M. is my new favorite band
Luke Sanchez
how bout chronic town? i think thats just as good as murmur
Josiah Green
Haven't listened to it yet, I just had their full length albums. I should probably do that right now
Alexander Wood
I don't think they were in the same room for that.
Actually Stipe and Mills have done interviews together in recent years, so I think they still get along to some extent. I think if there's any animosity it's between Stipe and Buck
Henry Wright
U2 should've done the same.
Kevin Cook
Everything up to Green is GOAT
Gavin White
everything after Automatic For The People is hot garbage.
Christopher Kelly
they had a few good songs early on when stipe had hair but very sadly they subsequently became almost completely insufferable
Alexander Rivera
They're mediocre and much worse than the less famous bands that they were inspired by.
Angel Martin
I like the song about the based corner guy. Guy singing about being in the corner. That was him there, in the corner. Cool track. I liked it. We all are in corners sometimes, but that guy was proud. You gotta respect it.
Cooper Young
I was surprised they let Stand be used for a tv show intro
Grayson Cook
Kaufman who wrote Being John Malkovich worked on this show and R.E.M produced being john malkovich
Noah Garcia
which bands?
Jackson Cook
The Feelies, The dBs, Big Star, Pylon.
Brandon Barnes
Great band overall but they are obviously massive shitlibs and made some cringe songs like Exhuming Mccarthy and Ignoreland
Leo Sanchez
It was a crazy show for the time
