Reviews
5 stars out of 5 -- "Their dreamiest. Here, they pair melancholic folk-rock apparitions with hopeful strings.", Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a lively form of bliss is readily available from the sounds of AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE....Big emotions, big ideas....it's about life. Without embarrassment and via sundry dark metaphors, it enquires `What's it all about, if anything?'...", Ranked #11 in the Nme "Top 30 Heartbreak Albums", 10 - Classic - "...They've created an LP you can gain a lot from in times of trouble....In their hands, music is no longer wallpaper, but a living, breathing organism as old as the hills...", Included in Q's List of the 50 Best Albums of 1992., Ranked #6 in Q's "Best 50 Albums of Q's Lifetime", Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums of the 1990s.", Ranked #23 in Nme's List of the `Greatest Albums of All Time.', "...deeply moving and entirely idiosyncratic....the songs tend to be rich and subdued, full of lush strings and deep feeling....shows the band moving into more personal territory than ever before....the band's greatest triumph..." - Rating: A, "...These quiet songs, so sure of their honesty that they are unafraid of risking musical corniness, can be heard as an indictment of the Republican era, a lament for the AIDS years, or simply a consideration of roads not taken...", 5 Stars - Classic - "...R.E.M. has never made music more gorgeous....shimmers with new, complex beauty....musically irresistible....finds the band gaining a startling emotional directness...", 5 stars out of 5 - "The album found R.E.M. concentrating on their mature strengths: dignity, mandolins, somber brown textures, unblinking seriousness of intent...", "Beyond all the beautiful sadness, there’s joyful nonsense, a noisy screed against the GOP and the most unabashedly erotic song R.E.M. had released up to that point...", Ranked #40 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.", Ranked #3 in the Village Voice's List of the 40 Best Albums of 1992., 4 Stars Out of 5-"With '92's Automatic for the People, R.E.M. Reached Their Creative Peak.", "The tone of AUTOMATIC is marked by doughy pressure and woozy beauty. The remastered version of the LP brings that to the fore as well as emphasizing the skin-tingling intimacy of Michael Stipe’s vocals throughout."
