Pros: The Chronic Town EP; a few lightweight pleasures Cons: At least half the tracks are hideous
There's only one good one reason for buying Dead Letter Office: because you absolutely must have a copy of everything R.E.M. ever released. Which is appropriate, because that's why the original album was released.

Pros: 2 new R.E.M. songs and a Buck-Mills score will appeal to longtime fans. Cons: Lots of useless dialogue snippets and too much kitsch included
Fresh off their most recent tour, the remaining three members of R.E.M. have chosen to follow up their vastly underrated album "Up" with their first attempt at a movie soundtrack. The result is "Man on the Moon," an eclectic...
Pros: Fun and surprisingly catchy Cons: A couple of pretty bad songs (but fewer than one would expect)
