Much of R.E.M.’s new album has been intentionally leaked by the band over the past two months, but now — one week before Collapse Into Now actually arrives in stores — you can hear the whole thing, streaming in the player embedded below (via Consequence of Sound). It’s the 15th studio album from R.E.M., and, like 2008’s Accelerate, it’s produced by Jacknife Lee.
UPDATE: The player below is offline, but you can stream the whole album at NPR.org.
