Description
Automatic For The People is R.E.M.’s hauntingly beautiful eighth studio album — a melancholic meditation on mortality, memory, and emotional resilience. This 25th Anniversary Edition is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, housed in a tip-on style jacket, and includes a digital download code. Remastered from the original analogue tapes, the album features iconic tracks like “Everybody Hurts,” “Man on the Moon,” and “Nightswimming,” blending acoustic textures, orchestral arrangements by John Paul Jones, and Michael Stipe’s introspective vocals into a timeless sonic landscape.

Artist Overview
R.E.M. were pioneers of alternative rock, and Automatic For The People marked their artistic peak — trading jangly guitars for cinematic depth and lyrical vulnerability. With contributions from Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Bill Berry, the album’s emotional weight and sonic sophistication influenced artists from Radiohead to The National, and remains a cornerstone of ’90s rock.
