of Monster Anniversary

Monster is indeed R.E.M.'s long-promised "rock" album; it just doesn't rock in the way one might expect.

From the androgynous sleaze of "Crush With Eyeliner" to the subtle, Eastern-tinged menace of "You," most of the album sounds dense, dirty, and grimy, which makes the punchy guitars of "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" and the warped soul of "Tongue" all the more distinctive.

The soundtrack remains one of Williams’ greatest achievements and one of music’s finest scores. This is a quintessential must-have album.
