R.E.M. is set to release their fifteenth studio album Collapse Into Now on March 8th, and a few of the tracks are making their way around the interwebs. Bassist Mike Mills asserts that this album will be more 'expansive' than 2008's Accelerate, adding that "We wanted to put more variety into it and not limit ourselves to any one type of song. There are some really slow, beautiful songs; there are some nice, mid-tempo ones; and then there are three or four rockers". Guests on the record include, Patti Smith, Eddie Vedder, and Peaches. Here's a stripped down track that reminds me of something off of 1988's Green. What do y'all think?
