For me, Automatic was half good and half too much like what was to follow with "New Adventures in Hi-fi" and onward. The half I loved included this song, "Monty Got A Raw Deal" and "Ignoreland" but the half I didn't seemed like a signpost for the future with "Everybody Hurts", "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight", etc. Before you write back to yell at me, I realize this is just my opinion and I don't think anybody who doesn't see it my way should feel bad or change their own opinions. I don't think you're idiots or fools or anything close to it. At least, not for THAT reason. Dude you and I are right there when it comes to REM.  |

Tried to listen to this in the car the other day. Got about 3 songs in and had to stop. Not that I don't like it, it's just that after my son was born premature (and we didn't think he'd make it through the night), I went home alone, listened to this album and did a lot of soul searching, crying, weeping, and general grief.
My son is now 17, he's a growing boy turning into a man. Can't get past the emotions this album unleashes on me. One song at a time, maybe, the whole album? nada.

No, there isn't. Perhaps "Sidewinder..." is below the (high) average of AFTP. And "Ignoreland" seems out of place but then again.... No, there isn't. |

He plays a few songs from that album. But I agree with you, any song off that recording would be cool to hear on the RP play list. |

Yes, I tried REM on for a while, but I seem to have grown out of them. Stipe's whining is annoying at this point.  |
