Automatic for the People is the eighth studio album by the American alternative rock band R.E.M., released on October 5, 1992, in the United Kingdom and Europe, and on the following day in the United States, by Warner Bros. Records. R.E.M. began production on the album while their previous album, Out of Time (1991), was still ascending charts and achieving global success. Several tracks include strings arranged by John Paul Jones and conducted by George Hanson.

 Yielding six singles, the album reached number two on the US Billboard 200 and received widespread acclaim from critics upon release. Rolling Stone reviewer Paul Evans concluded of the album, "This is the members of R.E.M. delving deeper than ever; grown sadder and wiser, the Athens subversives reveal a darker vision that shimmers with new, complex beauty."  Automatic for the People has sold more than 18 million copies worldwide.  In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked the album number 96 on its list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
