Autopilot is the fourth studio album by Boulder, Colorado band The Samples, released in 1994.

Production

The album was recorded in Boulder, and mixed, in part, at Pinnacle Studios, in Orem, Utah.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "even four albums on, there’s still that Sting/Police thing: 'Dinosaur Bones' could have appeared on Synchronicity, while 'As Tears Fall' sounds like a slowed-down version of 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free.'"
