Accelerate

I had no idea there was a new R.E.M. record.  I'm pretty excited.  I can't say I was a huge fan of their last few albums but there were a couple of songs on them that I did play over and over again - I hope this one is a little more consistent.

(edit: it is, and it's consistently loud and fast and ultimately over in 35 minutes.  It's not bad, but I've always preferred the beauty of their ballads and the softer songs they've been experimenting with more recently.)
