in retrospect, was it a good or a bad song?I remember many people hated it at the time.
>>128905654REM were such a serious enigmatic band for so many years that when they finally let loose and did a fun joke song people didn't know what to make of it.
>>128905654It's pretty shitty. God tier band though.
>>128905654It's a good verse coated in corny other parts. i might just be saying that bc the verse triggers deep nostalgia in me though
>>128905654Great song
>>128905654people just hated it because it gets stuck in your head for life after listening once
>delightful guitar hook>amazing guest vocals from B52s girl>back and forth melodic lines were addictiveits an excellent song and one of their better ones just not quite emotional like Perfect Circle
>>128905654Kino guitar riff
>>128905654abysmal song and cringe inducing video. looked like a video for a gay childrens show
>>128907728Thats why it was good
>>128907728proto grooming aesthetic
it was smarmy nu-hippie shit with a bleak aura despite its corny attempts of displaying "happy", propaganda basically, typical democrat payrolled band
It's not a song I often listen to, but I like it.
>>128905654It failed at being ironical, people were too dumb to get it
>>128908569it was trash just like every other rem song. ive never met a person in real life that likes this band
>>128905654I don't hate it but I really like the string bit at the very start so I'm always disappointed when the actual song kicks in.
>>128905654this band is like if accountants decided to make rock music. dull.
>>128905654Kate Pierson's vocals are the main thing saving it. If she wasn't on it I doubt people would like it anywhere near as much.
>>128905654It would be a fine song if it was released by some other pop band but by these guys it just didn't work.
>>128910232>this band is like if accountants decided to make rock musicin a way its true. rem dont make rock. they make gay alternative college rock. songs like stand, end of the world, shiny happy people and get up is the absolute worst music everhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF3PeV0tAiQ&t=3srem is gayer than the b52s
