REM : Suspicion

Seems that [B]Michael[/B]'s in love. Perhaps he cleaned his mirror.

What's that, Dad? You're suspicious? But of what? No, they won't hurt you. It's OK. Like Orange Kit-Kat bars, 'Suspicion' is
a
limited-edition release, which means it's limited to everyone who wants to buy a copy and shatters traditional limited rules by being available on three formats. Needless to say, this finds REM in sombre ballad mode and bores people rigid when Stipe and chums play it mid-set during their current tour. Seems that Michael's in love. Perhaps he cleaned his mirror.
