R.E.M.'s 15th studio album, Collapse Into Now, to be released in the Spring, will contain a more "expansive" sound than their previous album, Accelerate, saying it is more comparable to Automatic For the People.
Mike Mills told Spin magazine "With Accelerate we were trying to make a point by making the songs as short and as fast as possible. So we wanted this new one to be more expansive. 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."
The album is produced by Jacknife Lee with guests Patti Smith, Eddie Vedder, Lenny Kaye and Peaches.
