Our Take

R.E.M. have always been the cool kids at the indie rock party, and their latest offering "Automatic For The People" certainly lives up to the hype. From the haunting opening track "Drive" to the soulful closer "Find the River", this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you wanting more.

Lead singer Michael Stipe's haunting vocals soar over intricate guitar riffs and driving drum beats, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly new. The lyrics are as enigmatic as ever, leaving listeners pondering the meaning behind each line long after the music has stopped.

Standout tracks include the beautiful ballad "Everybody Hurts", a tearjerker that will have even the toughest of critics reaching for the tissues. On the other end of the spectrum, "Man on the Moon" is a quirky toe-tapper that will have you dancing around your living room in no time.

Overall, "Automatic For The People" is a masterclass in indie rock that cements R.E.M.'s status as legends in the music industry. So grab a copy, crank up the volume, and prepare to be transported to a world where the only thing that matters is the music. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

R.E.M.

R.E.M. Formed in Athens, Georgia in 1980, R.E.M. took the alternative rock world by storm with their jangly guitars, enigmatic lyrics, and Michael Stipe's unmistakable vocals. Combining elements of folk, punk, and post-punk, R.E.M. created a sound that was both timeless and ahead of its time. Their 1983 debut album, "Murmur," is widely regarded as a classic of the genre, with songs like "Radio Free Europe" and "Talk About the Passion" showcasing their melodic hooks and introspective lyrics. Over the years, R.E.M. continued to push boundaries and experiment with their sound, incorporating elements of country, folk, and electronic music into their repertoire. Despite their mainstream success, the band always maintained a sense of mystery and aloofness, with Stipe's cryptic lyrics and enigmatic stage presence adding to their mystique. With hits like "Losing My Religion," "Everybody Hurts," and "Man on the Moon," R.E.M. solidified their status as one of the most influential and innovative bands of their era. After more than three decades together, R.E.M. announced their breakup in 2011, leaving behind a legacy of timeless music and a devoted fanbase. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, R.E.M.'s music is sure to leave a lasting impression. So grab your fedora, put on your best flannel shirt, and let yourself be transported to the world of R.E.M. You won't regret it.
