Hear R.E.M.’s new album today
Accelerate, R.E.M.’s latest offering doesn’t actually drop until April 1, but it’s streaming online at iLike.com until March 26. It will take you just over a half-hour to listen to, so don’t fear the commitment. Rolling Stone is calling it “one of the best records R.E.M. have ever made.” NPR has an interview with the band worth checking out. Spin is saying the band “hasn’t made an album this consistent since 1992’s Automatic for the People, and haven’t redlined so engagingly since 1986’s Lifes Rich Pageant.”
Sounds promising … if you get a chance to listen in before March 26, let us know what you think. And here’s a Billboard Q&A with Michael Stipe if you just can’t get enough.
