EAN: 0093624505549 Label: Warner Bros / Wea Manufacturer: Warner Bros / Wea Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Warner Bros / Wea Release Date: October 06, 1992 Studio: Warner Bros / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Continuing to specialize in the art of curve-throwing, R.E.M. followed up its 1991 smash, Out of Time, with this fragile album of soft melodies and string arrangements. The sympathetic ballad "Everybody Hurts" must have prevented countless suicide attempts, while the Andy Kaufman tribute "Man on the Moon" (with Michael Stipe affecting an Elvis Presley imitation) and the rock-into-oblivion "Drive" are among the quartet's strongest hits.

Rating: - Excellent projectionLuis Mejia - Automatic For The People is definitively one of the most selected pieces of magic popcraft throughout the 90s'; and undoubtly alternative kings R.E.M. most famous work. From beginning to end this album is beautiful and rewarding; the witty introduction in "Drive", the wimsical cult of the nearly fading "Nightswimming", and many other moments cut the album accessible but yet very significative. A 90s' top choice, represented by swifting soft but accute passages of music, lyrical interest ... Read More Rating: - A MasterpieceThe fact that U2's Bono called this 'the greatest country record never made' says enough. This album is incredible. Every song on the album is a stand-out. The hits such as "Drive", "Everybody Hurts", and "Man on the Moon" speak for themselves. The brilliant "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", may seem a bit out of place. Peter Buck says the following in the sleevenotes to The Best of REM: "We included this song on Automatic in order to break the prevailing mood of the album. ...
