'''''In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003''''' is the second official "greatest hits" album released by the band [[R.E.M. (band)|R.E.M.]] Issued in [[2003]], it covers the highlights of their [[Warner Bros. Records]] era, from [[1988]]'s ''[[Green (album)|Green]]'' to [[2001]]'s ''[[Reveal (album)|Reveal]]'', alongside two new recordings. "Bad Day" was started in [[1986]] when [[Bill Berry]] was still in the band and finally finished for this compilation, and "Animal" was a recent song written for their upcoming studio album. Similarly, "All theThe Right Friends", originally written in [[1979]], had been re-recorded by R.E.M. for use in [[Cameron Crowe]]'s [[2001]] film ''[[Vanilla Sky]]''. "[[The Great Beyond]]" was initially issued in [[1999]] as part of [[Milos Forman]]'s film on [[Andy Kaufman]], ''[[Man onOn theThe Moon]]''. It ended up becoming the band's biggest UK hit, with a #3 peak, in early [[2000]].

''In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003'' famously ignores "[[Shiny Happy People]]", a song the band has publicly disowned, and also - due to time constraints - lacks "Drive", "Bang And Blame", "Strange Currencies" and "Bittersweet Me". Another reason for their absence was to enable the inclusion of the post-[[Bill Berry|Berry]] material.
