R.E.M. - Collapse Into Now (2023 Reissue) THE WEEKND now well known as theLP 180g Black Vinyl. Collapse Into Now is R. E. M.s fifteenth and final studio album. Released in 2011, the band aimed to create an expansive, varied album; there are slow, beautiful songs juxtaposed with fast paced rock songs.
