Must buy!
If we believe the news then this will be the last REM album ever, that makes an absolute must have in its own right, there is some of the "accelerate" type pop rock on here, but it is altogether more thoughtful and introspective, the last track on the album with stipe and patti smith haunting through the speakers is mesmerising, stipe goes into a monologue that is close to hypnosis, truly enchanting.
If you like the album "up" mixed with "new adventures in hifi" then this will be for you, it is classic and it is amazing how prolific REM have been on a very limited framework, there songs always sound different yet strangely familiar, Peter Buck's guitar work always adds a sense of recollection. Mike Mills is solid as ever and you can hear his bass sing on this one.
Its fascinating. Interesting. Something other.

Well worth purchasing.
This is very stable and excellent RAM, it boots first time at its specified settings and I also managed to run 8GB of this memory at 1066Mhz when not officially supported by my motherboard. Its not the fastest RAM and the heat sinks can get in the way when using large CPU coolers, however with a Coolermaster 212 hyper plus there are no issues and this cooler is good value and performs well.
The RAM will overclock slightly above its specified but it was hard to get better timings, probably due to running 8GB, there is every reason to buy this memory especially as its in limited supply, DDR3 has come along but doesn't give much better performance than this highly rated DDR2.
