681. R.E.M. - automatic for the people


I love this disc. It was one of REM's most consistent sounding albums and often criticized as being too dark, when slightly melancholy is really more appropriate... "Out of Time" was a high school album for me, and "AFTP" squarely places me in my dorm. I remember it took me a few listens to get into this record, but once I was in, I was in... everything seems perfectly placed in here: the themes, strings, keys, artwork... it's near perfect.

9.5 out of 10
