REM is an American band with a distinct sound formed in 1980. Fronted by lead singer Michael Stipe, they have enjoyed multiple successes both critically and commercially, at the same time as riding the criticism of them being too depressing with their music, both lyrically and with the tone of the musical production. However, they have continued to churn out the hits. 'Automatic For The People' is their 8th offering as an album, from 1992, and contains a few hits such as 'Drive', 'The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight', and what is perhaps their signature tune 'Everybody Hurts'. There are 12 tracks on the album. These are the tracks: 1. ... Read the complete review

Automatic for the People - R.E.M. I cannot believe that this is 16 years old, 1992. I am down to my last 100 CD's or thereabouts (including my wife's) to transfer to iTunes, so this will tell you already that they are not my favourites. Still to come as reviews are Kylie (really), Moloko, Shaggy....well you get my drift. This is actually one of my wife's CD's though I will be honest and tell you that I have a bit of a soft spot for 'Everybody Hurts'. The booklet that goes with the CD shows Mr Stipes et al, being all broody in poses that pretty much make them look like the American version of Oasis, and they are pretentious ...

I have a habit of not being able to connect bands with what songs they wrote. I'm constantly being surprised when someone puts on a CD and I think 'Wow! I didn't know this song was by U2!" I know the band, I know the song, but I'm just unable to put a name to a face, as it were. And so it was with R.E.M. A while ago I was at a friend's house when he put on this CD. "Wow!" I screeched. "Is this REALLY R.E.M.?" "Uh, yes" He said. "Who did you think it was?" "I thought this band was the one with the front man who is now a politician in Australia and is really evil."* "No, that's ...

I grew up with this album. I've been listening to Automatic on and off since I was about five years old; my father would play it for me and since I never lived with him it always had sentimental value in the coming years. But enough of that sap. DRIVE makes for an excellently, chillingly understated opener. It sets the generally melancholy tone for the entire album. The high-pitched instrument in the background (thanks to my musical illiteracy I'm not sure what it is), juxtaposed with the low acoustic guitar, rumbling electric, and Stipe's morose vocals, sends chills down my spine. TRY NOT TO BREATHE is a misleadingly upbeat jangle which I take to ... Read the complete review

Released on October 1992, this is an all time classic album and by far R.E.M.’s best ever. I can honestly say its one of the best albums ever and is one of the few albums in the world in which every track is good. The vocals are superb throughout as are all the instrumentals and solos. This is one of my favourite albums that I own, and I listen to it a lot. Many people thought Out of Time would be the bands album, so this had a lot to live up to, and it did not disappoint at all. It lived up to the expectations and just proved that the best can be beaten. Drive – A brilliant track to start the album with. A soft guitar solo at the starts ... Read the complete review
Products similar to Automatic For The People - R.E...
Galore - The Cure
Comprehensive retrospective of the Cure's second decade.
Less impressive and enjoyable than the first.
Frontiers - My Awesome Compilation
Darker than the music of MAC has ever been before, an excellent ten tracks of music.
Some may not appreciate the darker direction that the band has here taken.
Grand Champ - DMX
Lots of banger
Some tracks need time to grow
Hot Damn - Every Time I Die
An excellent ten track album which blends brilliantly the genres of hardcore punk and metalcore.
7 minutes shorter than the bands first album.
Hearts On Parade - American Hi-Fi
A number of excellent tracks are present here, the choruses always are absolutely fantastic.
A couple of filler tracks.
From Beale Street To Oblivion - Clutch
High On Infinity - Count Raven
Ambitious.
Experiments aren't all that successful.
Gutter Phenomenon - Every Time I Die
A perfect 34 minutes of music, vocally exceptional and highly instrumentally entertaining.
I fail to think of any.
Here I Stand - Usher
A good story-like trip with some outstanding tracks
A few mis-placed and weaker tracks must be put up with
Hex - Bark Psychosis
Amazing mellow, jazzy sound with subtle vocals
May be tough to get- shop around
