Reveal is R.E.M.’s 12th studio album. Released in 2001, the album was co-produced with long-time collaborator Patrick McCarthy. The band experiments with synthesized sound, but also makes “a conscious return to their classic sound” (Allmusic). The record features hits “Imitation of Life” and “All the Way to Reno (You’re Gonna Be a Star). The album reached #1 in the UK and was certified Platinum there; Reveal also peaked at #6 in the US (with 10 weeks on the Billboard 200) and was certified Gold.

Accelerate is R.E.M.’s 14th studio album, released in 2008. The album was intended as a departure from their last album, Around the Sun, and was complimented for the aggressive, purposeful sound of the songs. Stipe said his lyrics on Accelerate were inspired by the contemporary state of the nation, saying, "When the empire is going down the toilet, it's easy to write great, angry songs” (Spin). It debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the chart for 18 weeks. The album contains fan favorite “Supernatural Superserious.”

Both LPs were cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Memphis Records Pressing.
