It was an early favorite of mine, I was really surprised about how overlooked it was.

Do people prefer the 3 way first round matches we did for MM this year, or just straight one on one voting for round one?

I prefer one on one. 3 way first round matches were nice for MM because we already did that one so many times (with a lot of obvious losers) but I'd like to go slower here.

I'm with you on this one. It's easily my favourite song from Accelerate. I think lyrically its pretty interesting stuff.

Yup.
I'll pull a b-sides list from my itunes at home (my REM collection is fairly comprehensive) and I'll post it here for feedback.

Same, I absolutely love that song.
Reckoning might honestly be my favorite album of theirs. That or Automatic.

I think I like Murmur just a tad more than Reckoning.

But they're very much sister albums in my mind.

Probably. I think I've just listened to it more and am more familiar with Murmur.

If I ranked the albums, Murmur would be on the lower half
