Now that rock veterans R.E.M. are officially broken up, it's only fitting that they cap off their legendary career with a greatest-hits album. Reportedly titled Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage: 1982-2011, the collection is reportedly due out on November 15 via Warner Bros.
Information about the album is still scarce, but Rolling Stone reported yesterday (September 21) that the band had a new greatest-hits compilation on the way before the end of the year. Now, Consequence of Sound points to a new Amazon listing with a few scraps of information.
This two-disc set will draw on the band's entire career, from their college rock days with I.R.S. Records to their mainstream explosion with Warner Bros. There will also apparently be a handful of new songs, recorded during the studio sessions following this year's Collapse into Now.
This isn't the band's first best-of set. Most recently, I.R.S. dropped And I Feel Fine... The Best of the I.R.S. Years 1982-1987 in 2006, while Warner Bros issued In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 back in 2003. The upcoming compilation will be the first album to span the band's entire career.
