Nov 11, 2017R.E.M. have made a very intricate and emotional album, and this Deluxe edition proves it's worth as AFTP is one of American Alt. Rock's finest works to this day.
Standouts: New Orleans Instrumental No. 1, Drive, Monty Got A Raw Deal.
Fav's: Try Not to Breathe, Sweetness Follows, Ignoreland, Man On The Moon.
Eh: The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite, Everybody Hurts -
Nov 22, 2017The overall feeling I get from this fantastic album is that REM just knew this was a classic before it was even finished.
Superb from start to finish and it all hangs together in the way albums just don't these days. -
Sep 23, 2019Wow. A sensitive album about death and moving on and accepting the beauty of life. R.E.M. at their purest. Tackles death without the sappy sentiment most other artists would treat it.

Jan 11, 2018Another classic with great extras. The vaults of R.E.M. are enormous, they've released more material since they broke up.

Feb 19, 2019A beautiful album with layers of emotion and raw feeling. The band knew what they were doing when they crafted this. My favorites are "Monty Got a Raw Deal" and the sad "Everybody Hurts".

Feb 23, 2022Почти идеально. Все песни запоминаются, а некоторые пробирают до души. Курт Кобейн хотел бы чтобы четвертый альбом Нирваны звучал именно так – я бы хотел это послушать.

Apr 15, 2021Like Nevermind and Ten, Automatic For The People sounds like a larger than life legend from the '90s that is equally emotional and powerful.

MagnetDec 22, 2017While the album justifies the lavish bonuses, if you get caught up in the myth, you might miss what a weird, wild work it is. Beyond all the beautiful sadness, there's joyful nonsense, a noisy screed against the GOP and the most unabashedly erotic song R.E.M. had released up to that point. [No. 149, p.60]

Dec 14, 2017From start to finish, it’s a perfect mix of sombreness, playfulness, anger and melancholy, with one moment of great mass communication – Everybody Hurts, a song whose power is undimmed by constant exposure. A stunning live disc repositions Drive as a stomping rock song, and showcases the playful side of the group with covers of Love Is All Around (pre-Four Weddings) and Funtime.

Dec 7, 2017Unfortunately, the 4-CD deluxe reissue doesn't offer much that accentuates beyond the original.
