Notes

Automatic For The People is the eighth studio album from American alternative rock band R.E.M.,
recorded between June 1991 and July 1992 and released by Warner Bros. Records on October 5, 1992 in the United Kingdom and Europe, and on the following day in the United States. R.E.M. began production on the album while their previous album, Out Of Time (1991), was still ascending top albums charts and achieving global success. Aided by string arrangements from John Paul Jones, Automatic For The People features ruminations on mortality, loss, mourning and nostalgia.

Upon release, it received widespread acclaim from critics, reached number two on the US Billboard 200, and yielded six singles:

Drive (September 21, 1992)
Man On The Moon (November 9, 1992)
The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite (February 1, 1993)
Everybody Hurts (April 5, 1993)
Nightswimming (July 12, 1993)
Find The River (November 29, 1993)
