Automatic For The People: revisiting a haunting masterpiece.

[mmmBono]

very fucking cool record
i gotta admit...that album gets regular play in my house...
now i'm on the hunt for "Reckoning"...
I gotta have that "Pretty Persuasion"
side note to y'all...
go out and get the Grey Whistle Test dvd!!!
not only is U2 on it circa 1981 doing I will Follow..oiy the hair
but REM is on it too!!
they do a wonderful Moon River/Pretty Persuasion and my god Stipe actually has hair in this one.

Is that the best you can do? I like Reveal a lot as well..so I'm just shit stirring for the sake of it

I quite like Reveal as well. It's better than Up. I've been high is very very good, and many of the other songs are quite lovely as well, like beat a drum.

OMG, I love Automatic For the People. An absolute masterpiece. As for best REM album it's a tossup between this one and "Murmur".

Still can't stop listening to this album.
"Find The River" has been on repeat all day.
