R.E.M. Gear Up to Accelerate on New LP
There's some bands we like to report on, and one of them is R.E.M.

The name all but gives it away, but according to Billboard.com, R.E.M.'s forthcoming 14th LP, titled Accelerate, is gonna be fast. The lethargic (read: forgettable) touch of 2004's Around the Sun is nowhere to be found, replaced with what band managed Bertis Downs calls "rockers." Accelerate emerges on Warner Brothers April 1 in North America and the day before in the UK and elsewhere, but a good new R.E.M. LP can't come fast enough.

Though a full tracklist has yet to be finalized, quite a few tunes from the band's recent live residency in Dublin made the cut, including "Living Well is the Best Revenge", "Until the Day is Done", "Horse to Water" and "Aftermath". The band plans to tour this spring, but with those dates still up in the air, your best chance at previewing these snappy tunes and smiling patiently through a slow one or two will come at March's Langerado Festival.

Hopefully they can reverse the downhill trend they've been having over the past dozen years or so. Their last album especially was a major failure saleswise, selling something like 150,000. A far cry from the days these guys were rocking stadiums
