REM Collapse Into Now short Interview

[@kckstnd8]

Collapse and accelerate are up there with the best albums they’ve ever done. Very underrated and will be rediscovered for its brilliance in the future. Wish I got to see them tour for these albums.

Hard for me to believe it's been almost a decade since they stopped being a band. I loved every album they put out, including the last two, which are among my favorites. For selfish reasons I wish they had kept going...but at least they went out on top after a really good album. Now I just look forward to the 25th anniversary editions. And I hope one day they decide to bless their fans by releasing their treasure trove of unreleased live shows, remixes and demos.

Fantastic album from a simply stupendous rock band

[@crowdofone222]

This album's listening party in Athens was the only I got to attend. My sister bid on an auction for a signed album made out to me. What a great experience. I miss the feeling of being anxious for new music by them. I have enjoyed rediscovering them through their 25th anniversary albums. Stipe once said they may reunite if the aliens demand it. Come on 👽👽👽! ✌

The best band all over the world in the all time..........for ever .Sorry beatles.

This and Up are the only post Berry albums I liked. This is definitely in my top 5 REM albums

An epic album in all sense of the world. It has the perfect balance of songs. Second best album since Automatic for the People, New Adventures in Hi-Fi. More tuneful perhaps, but it's not quite as impacting. Still, an absolutely amazing album. Buy it. Now.

I bought Collapse Into Now today. Listened to it for the first time this afternoon. I expect it will grow on me as time passes, but my initial reaction was a bit of disappointment that I could barely hear Mike Mills' voice at all. They should use his voice more. It's amazing and it would add so much. I'd much rather hear more of Mike than these "guest" singers they included. So far my favorite is Uberlin. Love the chord choices. I also like the syncopated chord changes in "Walk It Back".

I think this is one of their best albums, truly!

[@nylonnet]

I got CIN on its release day in Australia (days before the rest-of-the-world release) at 9 a.m.(store opening time). I was one of the first humans on the planet to buy it. Just wanted to say that. hehehehe :-)

Really wise last words of Michael. Great to hear that he really knows what role their music plays in peoples life and that that role can change significly over time.

[@Tyrian3]

I have all previous R.E.M. albums and this will be in my collection as soon as it comes out (earlier if I manage to bribe someone in the music shop to breack the day-1 LOL)

[@helennremfan]

Please can the band tour this ? It sounds all we expect and more. My copy is on order.....I am on countdown. Am just suffering withdrawal symptoms since the last concert and last year's trip from UK to Athens.... experience of a lifetime......

[@macfan9000]

Can't wait!

[@daneel4ever]

This will be classic..
