Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Monster' saw R.E.M. trade their signature acoustic textures for heavily distorted guitars and glam-inflected alternative rock. The album is incredibly energetic and anxious, exploring themes of identity and sexuality through noisy, sarcastic, and deeply introspective songwriting.
