Up is the tenth studio album by American rock band R.E.M., released on September 29, 1998. The album marked a significant shift in the band's sound, incorporating more electronic elements and a more experimental approach compared to their earlier work. It was the first album recorded after the departure of drummer Bill Berry, leading to a new dynamic in the band's songwriting and recording process. Despite mixed reviews at the time of its release, Up has since been re-evaluated and is appreciated for its ambition and innovation, showcasing a more introspective and atmospheric style.
