"Collapse Into Now bristles and fizzes with invigorating quantities of wit and fury." — Uncut Magazine

Collapse Into Now is R.E.M.'s 15th and final studio album. Released in 2011, the band aimed to create an expansive, varied album; there are slow, beautiful songs juxtaposed with fast-paced rock songs. The band cites the record as more personal than political, intending to touch upon universal themes. The album peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on Billboard's U.S. Top Rock Albums chart.

"The idea was to present a 21st-century version of an album," frontman Michael Stipe said about Collapse Into Now. "What does an album mean in the year 2011, especially to generations of people for whom the word album is an archaic term? I wanted to present an idea of what an album could be in the age of YouTube and the Internet."
