Document wraps up with something of a cliche REM deep cut: minor key, simple but heavy riff, random Stipe-of-consciousness lyric. In fact, it's a little like "The One I Love"'s less attractive sister - complete with a fire-related lift at the chorus.
But all in all, not a bad way to finish up their IRS years. REM will have some great moments post-Document, but they will never be the same band. Good bye-college radio, hello Pop Song 89.
