Collapse into now: a quick recap

Also involved last week were longtime confederates Bill Rieflin and Scott McCaughey, as well as noted engineer/producer Tucker Martine." - Paste Magazine

January 10, 2010: "Q: So, what’s currently happening in R.E.M. land? You guys were down in New Orleans doing some recording. A: We did 3 weeks of work and tracked a bunch of new songs. Michael sang on about half of them, probably. So, we got a really good start on the next record." - Scott McCaughey

August 4, 2010: Ken Stringfellow listen to the album, and says 1) it's "old school"; 2) has vocals which were mixed super low which he couldn't understand; 3) there's a lot of acoustic and electric guitars, some piano songs but he didn't hear a lot of crazy, freaky keyboards and vintage drum machines in there; 4) has a very live feel.
