Description
Cut across Criteria, Bearsville and John Keane’s Athens rooms, with John Paul Jones guiding the strings, R.E.M.’s Automatic For The People is their most clear-eyed autumn record. “Drive” rides a sinister acoustic churn, the cello answering Stipe’s hush like a second narrator. “Nightswimming” stays small and perfect, every piano ripple carrying the weight of the memory. Then “Man on the Moon” swings wide, Mike Mills’ bass lifting the chorus without grandstanding.
This LP pressing opens the picture out; the strings and piano have more space, and the low end sits deeper. Imaging feels tidier too, so those backing harmonies tuck in just right. In Melbourne, we reach for it on rainy evenings and late drives when you want warmth without syrup.
File it next to U2’s early-90s pivot if you like big-hearted, studio-craft rock that still breathes. If you’d rather order online, you can buy R.E.M. records online with us. Artwork reproduction is clean; the stark cover still does its job. It rewards volume but also whispers at 10pm, the fade-out feeling like a benediction. Still essential three decades on.
Shop online or dig for it in our Preston store while stock lasts.
