    I'm pretty suprised by this news. I thought they jacked it in years ago.

    They were getting worse near the end but had some very good songs.

    They did seem like a band that weren't in it for the money though. Some great songs, love nightswimming.

    ... from this news, quite possibly mate :)



    They were a super band in their day.

    Happy to admit owning a few of their CDs and would still turn up the volume on the radio, if one of their tracks come on.




    Hope your right mate ...

    No doubt that would bring out the Shiny Happy People ;) :D

    Loved Slane, Oasis were deadly at that gig too (the music anyway).

    Im of a different opinion, I dont think they had a 'great' album after the Monster album. Liked them but never got into their more recent stuff.

    Never liked them and i thought they broke up years ago. They must have been around for 25 years at least so you'd have to be happy with that if you're a fan. Most bands dont last more than a couple of albums.

    I figured "Call it a day" must be the title of their new album or something.

    That would have been a good title.

    Great band in their day but they have been waining over the last few years and the albums havent been great.

    I doubt we will see them re-form as they have made a fortune as it is and Stipe doesnt seem like he is the money mad sort, he'll just become a producer if he even stays in music.

    Always liked their lyricks not many bands write good tunes that you can sit and listen to the words of the track not just the music, I will miss their albums being listening to them since introduced to the music by my mates older brother back in the 80's in national school . . . .
