Automaticforthepeople

Sunday morning coming down whilst listening to one of the most iconic Music Albums from the 90s, the legendary #AutomaticForThePeople from #REM. Nothing remembers me more of the 90s than this album and the voice of Micheal Stipe.

It is the eighth studio album by American alternative rock band R.E.M., released on October 5, 1992, by Warner Bros. Records. R.E.M. began production on the album while their previous album, Out of Time (1991), was still ascending top albums charts and achieving global success. Aided by string arrangements from John Paul Jones, Automatic for the People features ruminations on mortality, loss, mourning and nostalgia.

Upon release, it received widespread acclaim from critics, reached number two on the US albums chart, and yielded six singles. Rolling Stone reviewer Paul Evans concluded of the album, "This is the members of R.E.M. delving deeper than ever; grown sadder and wiser, the Athens subversives reveal a darker vision that shimmers with new, complex beauty." Automatic for the People is generally regarded alongside Murmur (1983) as one of the band’s supreme achievements, and it has sold 18 million copies worldwide.

Singles: Drive, Man on the Moon, The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite, Everybody Hurts, Nightswimming, Find the River
