Monster is awesome, Strange Currencies and Let Me In are some of their greatest songs

 

the production of that album gives me a headache lmao but the songs are good. I Took Your Name is an absolute banger

 

Yup Monster was the first new REM release I bought and maybe the first cd I got as a *cough*middle schooler*cough* so it holds a special place in my heart. The remix/remaster has some interesting improvements but I will never forgive it for removing the tremolo from the chorus of What’s The Frequency Kenneth

 

Strange Currencies is so good

 

Saw one of their last shows at Jones Beach during a rainstorm and they played Let Me In in circle with each other, it was spellbinding

 

Have you given the anniversary remaster a try? I connected way more with the album after returning to it through the remaster.

 

yeah I do like the overall sound of it a lot more but some of the more substantial changes just baffle me like zorbed said up above. if it had just been a remaster without all the chopping and changing I'd have really loved it
