Rolling Stone (10/29/92, p.68) - 5 Stars - Classic - "...R.E.M. has never made music more gorgeous....shimmers with new, complex beauty....musically irresistible....finds the band gaining a startling emotional directness..."
Q Magazine (11/92, p.117) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a lively form of bliss is readily available from the sounds of AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE....Big emotions, big ideas....it's about life. Without embarrassment and via sundry dark metaphors, it enquires `What's it all about, if anything?'..."
Musician (10/92, p.102) - "...These quiet songs, so sure of their honesty that they are unafraid of risking musical corniness, can be heard as an indictment of the Republican era, a lament for the AIDS years, or simply a consideration of roads not taken..."
New Musical Express (10/3/92, p.36) - 10 - Classic - "...They've created an LP you can gain a lot from in times of trouble....In their hands, music is no longer wallpaper, but a living, breathing organism as old as the hills..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/16/92, p.74) - "...deeply moving and entirely idiosyncratic....[the songs] tend to be rich and subdued, full of lush strings and deep feeling....show[s] the band moving into more personal territory than ever before....the band's greatest triumph..." - Rating: A

    ROCKが好きなら避けては通れないアルバム。もうこんなアルバム一生出てこない。こんな優しいアルバム聞いたことない。 REMはアルバムによって雰囲気かなり違うから全部オススメです。本当飽きの来ないバンドや。

    レビューを見て驚いた。何と40人ほどいるレビュアー全員が星5つをつけている。まさに誰もが認める名盤ということなのだろう。最初に聴いたときは、前作「Out of Time」とのあまりの違いに驚いたものだが、同時に「凄いアルバムかもしれない」と感じたことを鮮明に覚えている。当時はUK中心に聴いていたが、USもので例外的に聴き込んだことを思い出す。発表から20年弱が過ぎたが、未だに聴くと心の琴線に触れる作品でもある。全曲素晴らしいと思うが、とりわけ6曲目、11曲目は後世に残る名曲だと思う。このような名作こそ早くRemasterし、SACD化してほしい。
