Monster
March 31, 2009
I never understood why Monster led to a collapse of R. E. M.'s popularity which had been riding high. It was even more inexplicable as the mid and late 90's were dominated by the alternative rock sound which they had helped to birth.
Sure it was no Document, Green, Out of Time, or Automatic for the People. But it isn't a bad album. It was still a pretty good seller. It is their most "rock" album.
But I too don't listen to it very often. None of its songs are among my favourites.
