I find "The One I Love" to be way too overplayed. While "It's the End of the World as We Know It" is probably played as much (or maybe more) I'm not nearly as tired of it. Document was the first REM album I could associate with REM, probably because it was big when I went to university, and so has had a soft spot ever since.
