Accelerate is R.E.M.’s 14th studio album, released in 2008. The album was intended as a departure from their last album, Around the Sun, and was complimented for the aggressive, purposeful sound of the songs. Stipe said his lyrics on Accelerate were inspired by the contemporary state of the nation, saying, "When the empire is going down the toilet, it's easy to write great, angry songs” (Spin). It debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the chart for 18 weeks. The album contains fan favorite “Supernatural Superserious.”“One of the best records R.E.M. have ever made.” — Rolling Stone Features: -Long out-of-print -The penultimate 2008 studio album -Includes the singles “Supernatural Superserious,” “Hollow Man,” “Man-Sized Wreath,” & “Until This Day Is Done” -Produced by Jacknife Lee -180-gram vinyl Tracklist: Side A1.
