Glad to hear that you like it, the album is great. Think a lot of prog fans will dig this if they take the moment to look into it.
There was a Bad Religion cover done in these sessions as well. And there was attempts to put together an October Project cover that did not fully come together, I hope that it might in the future. Still this REM is the best version I have heard of it; I just remember first hearing the opening chords and "oh that us going to be really depressing and doomy".
