![R.E.M.: Monster (25th Anniversary Edition, 180g) [CRAFT]](https://cdn.shoplightspeed.com/shops/621399/files/33617820/1652x1652x2/new-vinyl-rem-monster-25th-anniversary-edition-180.jpg)
![R.E.M.: Monster (25th Anniversary Edition, 180g) [CRAFT]](https://cdn.shoplightspeed.com/shops/621399/files/33617821/1652x1652x2/new-vinyl-rem-monster-25th-anniversary-edition-180.jpg)
R.E.M.'s loud, glam-tinged 1994 album Monster, 25th anniversary edition on 180g vinyl: "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?," "Crush with Eyeliner" and "Strange Currencies."
Monster saw R.E.M. plug in and turn up after the quiet beauty of Automatic for the People, a fuzzy, swaggering rock record that topped charts around the world.
Produced with Scott Litt, the album drenches Peter Buck's guitars in tremolo and distortion while Michael Stipe plays with characters, celebrity and identity over glammy, crunching grooves.
"What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" is a riotous opener, "Crush with Eyeliner" swaggers, "Strange Currencies" is a lovely, yearning ballad, "Bang and Blame" is hooky, and "Tongue" is a falsetto soul surprise.
R.E.M. plugged in and turned up. A friendly monster, 25 years on.
