R.E.M., the band that managed to make mumbling cool before mumbling was even a thing.
Their latest album, "Revealin'", is a hodgepodge of nostalgic riffs and cryptic lyrics that's sure to divide fans like Brexit.
From the opening track, "Dreams in a Blender", lead singer Michael Stipe's cryptic vocals glide over jangly guitars like a weasel on roller skates.
It's a classic R.E.M.
sound that's as comforting as a cup of Earl Grey tea on a rainy day.
But don't get too comfy, because things take a turn for the weird on tracks like "Lemonade Standoff" and "Unicorn Parade".
The band experiments with unexpected instruments and time signatures, creating a sonic rollercoaster that's as unpredictable as a British summer.
While some may find the album's eccentricities off-putting, true R.E.M.
fans will appreciate the band's commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging their audience.
"Revealin'" is a reminder that, even after all these years, R.E.M.
is still the quirky, enigmatic force to be reckoned with.
So grab a cuppa, put on your headphones, and prepare to be taken on a musical journey that's as British as a trip to the chippy.
R.E.M.
may be revealing their eccentricities, but they're also revealing why they're still relevant after all these years.
Cheers to that, old chaps.
