New Adventures in Hi-Fi is the tenth studio album by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was their fifth major-label release for Warner Bros. Records, released on September 9, 1996, in Europe and Australia, and the following day in the United States. New Adventures in Hi-Fi was the band`s final album recorded with founding drummer Bill Berry (who left the band amicably the following year), original manager Jefferson Holt, and long-time producer Scott Litt. The members of R.E.M. consider the recorded album representative of the band at their peak,[4] and fans generally regard it as the band`s last great record before a perceived artistic decline during the late 1990s and early 2000s.[5] It has sold around seven million units, growing in cult status years after its release, with several retrospectives ranking it among the best of the band`s recorded catalogue.[6]

All songs written by Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe.
