At this rate, we’ll have heard all of R.E.M.’s new album well before its March 8 release: Tuesday, the band posted a “lyric video” to the song “Oh My Heart,” the third track off Collapse Into Now to make it online in the last three weeks. You can hear that song above, and also stream “It Happened Today” and download a free copy of album opener “Discoverer.”

REM needs to go back to the studio. All three of these songs suck badly, lol. And Duran Duran already beat them to the punch with the ‘Now’ themed album.
Accelerate was the best album since Green, what happened? Well, we’ll see when the album comes out, maybe these are just the three worst songs.
excellent songs so far!
