Episode 81: R.E.M.’s “Automatic for the People” (1992)
Notes de l’épisode
Just last year you released your biggest-selling album to date. What do you do for a follow-up? Release your second-biggest-selling album to date, of course, and your most critically beloved. (In this scenario, by the way, it's 1992, you’re R.E.M., and the follow-up album in question is Automatic For The People. Congratulations on your massive success.) Join co-hosts Laurie and Scott Free as they dig into the album that spawned six singles, and that NME put at the top of their Best Albums of 1992 list. Laurie loved it, Scott Free slept on it, and now you get to listen to it with fresh ears. Hey, kids: rock and roll!
