Yeah. For namesake purposes I need to listen to this one again.
Nick Cave has always been a hot/cold artist for me.

World Serpent's best year?
I think the entire early 90s belonged to them. Certainly the most missed record label, I find it so much harder to find great new music since they disappeared.

There were a few good releases, but a pretty weak year IMO. I remember listening to and buying a lot of old music during this time because I was so underwhelmed with the current offerings.

Bafflingly, I've never much cared for Automatic for the People. One of those things where some people think I'm being contrary because it was popular. But I'm not. Out of Time was popular and is a much more obviously commercial-sounding record. I love that one. Somehow, the appeal of Automatic has always eluded me a bit. Anyway, there it is.There is no noun that cannot be verbed.

You're not the only one with that opinion of
Automatic For The People
. I thought it was horrible, but also still liked
Out Of Time
. I would give them one more try with
Monster
, which I didn't care for either. After that, I was done with R.E.M. -
organicprankster — 9 years ago(November 21, 2016 01:26 PM)
Oh, I don't think Automatic is
horrible
. But it would come quite far down my ranked R.E.M. albums were I to compile such a list. I think R.E.M. only made one truly horrible album (Around the Sun). All the others have at least some merit, but Automatic doesn't gel with me as it seems to for millions of others. Such is life.There is no noun that cannot be verbed.

At least you could appreciate it on some level. I was so turned off by it, I ended up trading it away after enough plays, and that's a rarity for me. I can only think of a handful of albums/CDs that I've done that with. Usually I'll find something salvageable enough to keep it.
But I know my opinion is in the minority.
