As previously reported, R.E.M‘s fourteenth studio album, produced by U2 and Bloc Party producer Jacknife Lee is due for release on March 31.
The album contains eleven tracks, including forthcoming single “Supernatural Superserious” and sees a return to the rockier sound REM abandoned on 2004’s critically panned “Around The Sun” album.
The anticipation around this record is high, with much murmurings about whether ‘Accelerate’ will see a ‘return-to-form’ for the trio — to find out what Uncut Deputy Editor John Mulvey thinks – check out his first preview of R.E.M’s ‘Accelerate’ by clicking here for the Wild Mercury Sound blog.
