When R.E.M. began recording Collapse Into Now last year they decided to throw out the guidelines they imposed on their last album, 2008′s Accelerate. “On the last one we tried to make everything focused, short, fast and sharp,” Mike Mills tells Rolling Stone. “We took most of the rules off this time, picking the best songs regardless of whether they were fast, slow or mid-tempo.”
