I'm not sure what album they were touring in support of; I think the most recent hit single they'd had was "Orange Crush," maybe?
As for the musicianship quip, I hold musicians to what is probably a pretty unfair standard, really. Going to see guys like
Charlie Hunter or
Zakir Hussain or
Tuck Andress live has a way of skewing one's perspective in that regard.
A more fair comparison is how they stack up against other pop/rock musicians, and REM comes out looking just fine when you do that.
