trip through your wires is dreadful. i think there's something else on JT i've always disliked as well, i just can't remember it right now. and i mean uterrly hated, not just somehting like "mysterious ways" which i've grown tired of over the years. something i really hated.
honestly, if it wasn't for murmer, i'd almost agree with you. although the rem tracks i skip don't really bring about the same hatred that i have for trip through your wires. i did force myself to listen to reveal the other night, because i thought maybe i wasn't giving it a fair shake. i'd never been a huge fan of dead letter office either, but i've come around to it, and i thought maybe the same for the other album. not so much. there are a couple things on there that don't suck, however nothing awesome and the songs i don't like i do downright despise to the point of if it hadn't been on my ipod and had the cd in front of me, i probably would have thrown it somewhere.
and yes, murmur is perfect*.
*and this isn't the current rem binge talking, i've been of this opinion since i first heard it. which sadly only occurred probably somewhere in the last 10 years, but better late than never i guess. actually, 1998ish is more than 10 years ago. but you get the point. i'm a slacker.
