A definitive 90s rock statement, Automatic for the People returns in a 25th Anniversary 180g edition that puts the focus back on songcraft and atmosphere. Originally released in 1992, R.E.M.'s eighth album blends intimate writing with widescreen orchestration, newly remastered for this pressing from the original analog tapes. It is a taut, elegant reissue that lets the record's slow-burn power unfold without distraction. Musically the sequence moves with patience and depth. "Man on the Moon" rings with bittersweet lift, "Everybody Hurts" builds from a simple pulse into a cathartic swell, and "Nightswimming" glows with piano, strings, and memory. "Drive," "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite," and "Find the River" round out a set that rewards full-album listening. On vinyl the arrangements breathe, low end stays grounded, and strings carry weight without glare. This 25th Anniversary edition features 180g black vinyl, lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering from a remaster of the original analog masters, and a clean single-pocket jacket with faithful artwork reproduction; U.S. copies were pressed at RTI. It is a polished, shelf-ready presentation that complements the album's quiet intensity.
Automatic for the People remains a rich, front-to-back listen. If your shelf prizes thoughtful songwriting and immersive production, this edition delivers both with clarity.
