"Monty Got a Raw Deal" sits on Automatic for the People, R.E.M.'s eighth album, which Warner Bros. put out on October 5, 1992, in Britain and Europe and a day later in the States.

Scott Litt co-produced with R.E.M. and mixed it with engineer Clif Norrell, Ed Brooks added further mixing, and Knox Chandler sits in on cello as a guest.

The album drew wide acclaim, Rolling Stone's Paul Evans hearing the band dig deeper than ever into a darker, sadder vision.
