The band reconvened in 1990 to record new material and released 'Out Of Time' (1991) a year later. The record's lead single 'Losing My Religion' made R.E.M into a true world force with Mike Mills later calling the release "life changing". It also contained the track 'Shiny Happy People' which saw the collaboration with Kate Pierson of fellow Athens' natives The B-52s.
