A major-label debut that doesn’t sound eager to simplify itself. “Pop Song 89” and “Stand” flirt with bubblegum-pop, but stranger tracks like “World Leader Pretend” and “You Are the Everything” keep the emotional center complicated. Michael Stipe continues to gain confidence in being emotionally direct, if not yet lyrically. It’s a transitional record that understands growth as expansion rather than compromise.
