I think everybody has heard at least a couple songs on this album. The most famous track is probably "Everybody Hurts" which is just the sort of cheerful ditty that really invigorates your Tuesday morning. I might need a minute.
There actually isn't a bad song on this album. Each track is thoughtful, accessible, and catchy. I particularly enjoyed "Man On The Moon" and "Nightswimming," both of which I had never heard before. So a familiar album, but it still held some unexpected treats.
This is just an excellent album and sorely needed after yesterday's Dr. Dre disaster. Five stars, easy.
RATING: 5/5
