Hallellujah is a song that will be remembered long after the band have finally finished. Moody, Eerie with a Radiohead-esq drumbeat the song builds into a triumphant finale with Mills soaring backing vocals lifting you to another place. The song for me stands up alongside many of the bands classic backlog with sounds that could have come from New Adventures and Collapse Into Now. If this is going to be the last R.E.M. song we are going to hear it has been well worth the 32 year wait.

Hallellujah for R.E.M.
