As a top 1% of REM listeners on Spotify, I have to say this album starts a several record decline in greatness for me. Sure they all have a couple, but I find myself listening to the '94-2008 range a lot less than the bookends of the discography. YMMV. P.S. The opening of Discoverer on "Collapse into now" is the textbook definition of cacophony and I LOVE it.

I’m with you. The bookends.
But honestly I love it all. They just hit me perfectly.
