1185. Man on the Moon - Soundtrack

I got this for my love of REM, and the main track by them doesn't disappoint, "The Great Beyond" - if it had less orchestration in it it would be perfect. The rest of REM's contributions are a bit lame, sort of animated filler music. I wish the band would return to its classic sound of the late 80s and early 90s - The Great Beyond takes them there, but their last 3 or 4 albums have been an over indulged bore.
