I listen to it while driving - during long trips. It's really an "on the road" album (was mostly recorded during Monster tour soundchecks).
You apparently like the softer stuff
I love UP because it's such an intimate and personal record, AFTP is classic anyway, but I also love NAIHF - my first REM record and last year I also got to really really love Life's Rich Pageant - now that's an alternative rock record! On the other hand, my fav REM song is on Out of Time
I hope the next album will put an end to this 'being a pop band' era for REM!
