True, PTA can get a performance out of anybody... He even managed to get Tom Cruise to not act lke Tom Cruise in the latter half of Magnolia, a feat that even the mighty Kubrick couldn't manage for 90% of Eyes Wide Shut.
And you're really missing out on REM... Start with Life's Rich Pageant and then move on to Murmur. You're good all the way up to Monster but I don't recommend Green/Out of Time/Automatic for the People/Monster as highly as their first five albums. Their early stuff was grittier and darker and IMO it made for much better music.
