r.e.m.

R.E.M. have been a pivotal reference in the creation and development of the alternative rock genre. As everybody knows, the group disbanded last month, leaving thousands of fans in despair.

But, as it was easily predictable, we haven't heard the last from Stipe & Co. with their fifteenth and final studio album "Collapse Into Now": Warner Bros. will release on November 15th a double disc greatest hits album titled "Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011". In addition to previously-recorded music that spans the band's entire career, this definitive retrospective includes three new songs: "Hallelujah" and "A Month Of Saturdays" were demoed in the "Collapse Into Now" sessions, while the lead single "We All Go Back To Where We Belong" (out next week) was recorded entirely after that album.
