What is the title of R.E.M.'s 2003 greatest hits album?

R.E.M.'s 2003 greatest-hits album is titled In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988–2003.

Released on October 27, 2003, the compilation covers the band's Warner Bros. period, beginning with 1988's Green and extending through 2001's Reveal. It was R.E.M.'s second official compilation album and gathered major songs such as “Losing My Religion,” “Man on the Moon,” “What's the Frequency, Kenneth?,” and “Imitation of Life.”

The album also included two new recordings: “Bad Day,” based on an older R.E.M. outtake, and “Animal.” “All the Right Friends,” originally written in the early 1980s, had been re-recorded for the film Vanilla Sky, while “The Great Beyond” came from the Man on the Moon soundtrack.

Listeners sometimes confuse In Time with In View, the companion DVD released at the same time. Another notable detail is that “Shiny Happy People,” despite being a major hit, was deliberately omitted from the compilation.
