Automatic for the People专辑介绍
通过校园电台进入大众视野的另类摇滚乐队R.E.M.的代表作,同时也被视为整个90年代最优秀的摇滚专辑之一,曾经在1992年的美国专辑排行榜排到第二,在英国排到第一。不过这张专辑并非是乐队典型的风格,他们在这张专辑里尝试了不同类型的歌曲,有的非常流行,有的则被批评者认为过于阴暗和抽象,但这种矛盾似乎让专辑显得更有价值。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第247位。
Turning away from the sweet pop of Out of Time, R.E.M. created a haunting, melancholy masterpiece with Automatic for the People. At its core, the album is a collection of folk songs about aging, death, and loss, but the music has a grand, epic sweep provided by layers of lush strings, interweaving acoustic instruments, and shimmering keyboards. Automatic for the People captures the group at a crossroads, as they moved from cult heroes to elder statesmen, and the album is a graceful transition into their new status. It is a reflective album, with frank discussions on mortality, but it is not a despairing record -- "Nightswimming," "Everybody Hurts," and "Sweetness Follows" have a comforting melancholy, while "Find the River" provides a positive sense of closure. R.E.M. have never been as emotionally direct as they are on Automatic for the People, nor have they ever created music quite as rich and timeless, and while the record is not an easy listen, it is the most rewarding record in their oeuvre.
