AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE is a classic of \“alternative\” rock.\nReleased soon after OUT OF TIME, it shows R.E.M. on a creative roll\nwith no shortage of original ideas. Bold songs such as ominous\n\“Drive\” and the empathetic \“Everybody Hurts\” demonstrated that the\nband were not reluctant to experiment, while the Karl Denver\nopening on \“The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite\” and the elegiac Andy\nKaufman tribute \“Man On The Moon\” were as good as anything they had\never recorded.
