True to its title, IN TIME: THE BEST OF R.E.M. (1988-2003) chronicles the journey the group made after they became stars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver willing and able to defy expectations, R.E.M. steadfastly refused to commercialize their sound or tart it up to fit the arenas that became their venues. IN TIME addresses the prolific 1988-1992 era with everything from the driving fan-favorite \"Orange Crush\" to the transcendent, tension-filled folk-rocker \"Losing My Religion\" and the soul-influenced, empathetic anthem \"Everybody Hurts.\" Representing their days after the departure of drummer Bill Berry are songs such as the dusty desert twang of \"All the Way to Reno\" and the \"It's the End of the World As We Know It\" companion piece, \"Bad Day.\" Observing their chosen post-fame path, it's obvious that long after Stipe had shorn his locks and the music industry made them rich, R.E.M. remained staunchly committed to creating the kind of artful, idiosyncratic music that had made them alt-rock icons in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eR.E.M.: Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Bill Berry.\u003cbr\u003eIncludes liner notes by Peter Buck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock, Pop\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Man On The Moon\u003cbr\u003eA2 The Great Beyond\u003cbr\u003eA3 Bad Day\u003cbr\u003eA4 What's The Frequency, Kenneth?\u003cbr\u003eB1 All The Way To Reno\u003cbr\u003eB2 Losing My Religion\u003cbr\u003eB3 E-Bow The Letter\u003cbr\u003eB4 Orange Crush\u003cbr\u003eB5 Imitation Of Life\u003cbr\u003eC1 Daysleeper\u003cbr\u003eC2 Animal\u003cbr\u003eC3 The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite\u003cbr\u003eC4 Stand\u003cbr\u003eC5 Electrolite\u003cbr\u003eD1 All The Right Friends\u003cbr\u003eD2 Everybody Hurts\u003cbr\u003eD3 At My Most Beautiful\u003cbr\u003eD4 Nightswimming\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097511768323,"sku":"A7VK6L-HZA8-00","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/r-e-m-in-time-the-best-of-r-e-m-1988-2003-2-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
