Automatic For The People

Me gustaron mucho algunas canciones, pero ahora no le cojo el rollo.

eh

not really my thing

Maailman tylsin rockbändi jatkaa valitsemallaan polulla. Avausbiisi Drive oli jopa REM:in kappaleeksi yllättävän puuduttava. Taso ei juurikaan tästä noussut, vaikka tämä levy oli hieman hittipainotteisempi kuin se listan edellinen REM-levy jonka nimi oli niin tylsä ettei jäänyt mieleen. Vahva kakkonen.

More REM, mostly good songs but this seems older and more established. Used to be a bigger fan of their sound, but as I’ve gotten older the less I’m into it

I know people love R.E.M. but I think they must be an acquired taste, because I just don’t get it. The songs kinda run together, all sounding so similar, there’s not a lot of upbeat and it kinda drones on.

Another R.E.M. album, another album filled to the brim with grating bleating vocals and the most derivative pop rock melodies you can imagine. Strings thrown in for "depth" instead stand out as incredibly corny.

Shite. Nearly fell asleep at the wheel. Had to call it a day at nightswimming

Can’t stand it, hat his voice and the instrumentals are boring as hell

O.M.G. So fuxking boring so fuxking lame, total waste of time.

What a boring and uninteresting album. Negative stars

Me puse a escucharlo un domingo a la mañana y me dieron ganas de pegarme un tiro, dejá, gracias. No lo pude terminar

One of the most overrated bands ever. Meh!!!

Muy tranqui, no me genero nada, no es mi estilo de musica, pero al ser muy tranquila quizas es buena para ponerla de fondo

Previously known. Not a fan.

Perplexing selection. Not even in the top 1001 REM albums...and by the end of it I appreciated better what Stipe means when he sings that everybody hurts cuz I certainly am at this point.

REM for REM sleep 😴

ew

Im alr starting to dislike it its kinda shit i wont lie.

Wasnt a big fan of this

No.

Listened, I don’t like rem

Very boring, very bad, very uninspired.

долго скучно и однообразно

Another REM album.....What. The. Fuck. That's five in about 300. I'm legit scared I'm going to haven't to listen to the rest of their catalogue before I'm done with this horror show. Typical mid college rock offerings. A couple of catchy tracks and 80 filler as per every other REM album. Bleh.

Irländsk cosplay med gnällig röst. Vissa låtar fungerar men generellt skär det i mina öron. Kommer även ihåg när sångaren nämnde att de var det bästa banded på jorden, skön arrogans

Maybe if I was a stoned navel gazer I would like this

This album is so bland it’s offensive.

Even worse than the last one

This is the 139th album I’m rating. I have no idea what this shit is but apparently it's really popular. Adding to my Playlist - Nothing. Not Adding to my Playlist - Drive, Try not to Breathe, The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite, Everybody Hurts, New Orleans Instrumental No. 1, Sweetness Follows, Monty Got a Raw Deal, Ignoreland, Star me Kitten, Man on the Moon, Nightswimming, and Find the River. Everybody Hurts - I didn't know they made this song. One of the worst most overplayed songs. Absolute trash. All in all I liked 0/12 songs. This shit is not interesting at all. Extremely boring. Why do people listen to this?

I cannot stand R.E.M. (although fully accept that I am in the minority). I still wanted to give this album a fair chance though. I think the vocals are very nasal and quite same-y. The music itself felt repetitive and although some songs were slower than others, I found them all really similar. The music itself just didn’t vibe with me at all. The only pleasant moment was a surprise oboe in one of the latter songs on the album but I was mostly just grateful it was over. I am aware that this review is probably an unpopular opinion but even with significant effort, I can’t force myself to listen to it nevermind enjoy it.

didn't listen

This album is just insulting to my ears. Please do better.

Doet het me echt niks

Parp

A lil too chill for me

Everyyyyybodys ears must hurt after listening to this album

What a snoozefest

It feels like a nightowl album so it might not be the fairest to rate it during the day The songs are floating around my head without touching my brain. Midway through only the first track catched my attention Ok I only listened to losing my religion prior to this album, at least it made me realize that I don't like REM And I just realised the reviews are public

I really hate this one you guys. Its torture, with the most brutal of its tortures 'nightswimming' saved for the final stretch. Just when you think it can't get any more painful on your eardrums, you get bludgeoned with nightswimming.

Disappointed by this one, didn't like the tone at all and struggled to finish the album

I do no like this

Self-indulgent noise.

booooring

Creepy; not friendly; unnerving

Radio destroyed it

another rock-pop that makes me wonder, how it made it onto this list. okay, maybe if one was completely unaware of this 'alternative rock', then maybe. for me it really sounds as bland as it gets

hated it, couldn't explain why but I was NOT vibing with this one

meh, you know I don't like REM.... This album did not impress me either, sounds very whiny 1*

No song really stood out to me. Man on the moon was probably the best but not one I think I would listen to over and over. Surprised I didn’t like this one.

this was a slooooooooog for me. i think the least objectionable was either man on the moon or nightswimming, thought the instrumental was a nice break from having to listen to his singing. would give this a 1.5, rounded down bc i am feeling uncharitable

Perfect album to cry and masturbate yourself to sleep.

-didn’t write a BL- AL: I really didn’t like this album. R.E.M. is a band my mum likes, but I’ve personally never felt any affinity for. I just thought this album was annoying and corny. The lyricism is very shallow (“everybody hurts”, my only reaction is that of a no shit!) some tracks were just downright annoying (the aforementioned “everybody hurts” and “the sidewinder sleeps tonite”. It’s just jangly American pseudo-country shite. This has to be truly the most milquetoast album I’ve ever witnessed. The production value is good but you know the saying about polishing a turd. I’d be happy if I never had to listen to R.E.M. ever again. FT: “Man on the Moon” was the only one I thought this is ok 1/5

Not for me, vocals are super grating, instrumentation just sounds like bland radio rock.

Incredibly angering. Why was something this boring, this whining, this draining… so popular? If you ever have trouble sleeping, this is your cure.

Hella boring, depressing as fuck

Onpas tämä tylsä. (Akustinen) kitara ja äänimatto ja ilmeisesti sanoitusvetoista laulua. Kohokohdat puuttuu.

Boring shit stain of an album

in general this is a very whiny album. everybody hurts what a classic. new orleans instrumental no. 1 is pretty beautiful i think more of the album should be in this vein. sweetness follows is nice star me kitten is vulgar and ew if u believe they put on a man on the moon... unclear if REM believes this or not frankly didnt finish

Listens: 1 Enjoyed: no This just isn't for me

In this R.E.M. Album, R.E.M. do indeed sound like R.E.M. Interminable violin-sample-textured whining in uncreative umm-ta-taa-rhythms

Dirge

overrated

Boring. I saw that this was alt rock and got excited, but I actually do not like their style. I had no idea Everybody Hurts was by them

Verschrikkelijk

I don't like it that much but it isn't bad

just really uninteresting songs

Ich weigere mich, ein weiteres R.E.M,-Album zu bewerten. Is mir jetzt einfach wurscht, hör ich mir nicht mehr an.

Soundtrack zum verkatert autofahren am Sonntag Mittag zu Oma Liesel Kuchen essen. Ich hasse alles. UND KOMM MIR NICHT MIT "DA SIND ABER HITS DRAUF". Wenn in einem Eimer voller Scheisse 2 Pralinen schwimmen frisst du die ja auch nicht.

Really eh music. Rarely entertaining music. Rancid excruciating Melodies. Ech

I don't care for REM. No thank you.

Great album 9/10
