Editorial Reviews

- 2-LP, 180-gram vinyl

- Featuring the hits: "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?," "Bang and Blame," "Crush With Eyeliner" and more

- Remastered Album; from the original analog master

- 2019 Completely Remixed Album, by original producer, Scott Litt

R.E.M.’s ninth album, Monster, was released at a time when the band were coming off the peak of their mainstream success, following Out of Time (1991) and Automatic For The People (1992). Coming from a long break in touring (the band famously didn’t tour with the two previous records), Monster represented an intentional shift in R.E.M.’s sound, a “return to rock” with guitar laden, simple arrangements. It was released to strong reviews and significant global success - reaching #1 on Billboard, and least 7 other countries. In 1995 the band promoted that album with their first concert tour since 1989 (although several band members suffered health problems). The album includes the singles; “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?,” “Crush with Eyeliner,” “Bang and Blame,” and “Strange Currencies.”

5.0 out of 5 stars The remixed version of this is REALLY GOOD ER ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019
Verified Purchase
First off, it is great that REM are reissuing their 1990s, Warner Bros. albums, as these are all super hard to find on vinyl. As a huge teenage fan of Out of Time and Automatic for the People, I didn't really get Monster (AKA the Scary one) at the time. So I was really excited to revisit this album, as I hadn't played it to death (I even kept my CD copy, rather than consigning it to the used records bargain bin like so many others). So, this vinyl includes the original version of the album, which I realised that now I actually really like (perhaps because in the intervening 25 years I got into the glam rock of Bowie and Roxy Music that is a clear influence). This pressing sounds great. More interesting is the remixed version of the album by Scott Litt, where most obviously the vocals are clearer, and the whole thing is a little cleaner. And overall, I would say that I mostly prefer the new versions - more bands should do this when they reissue records as it is a really nice way to hear a record you know well in a new way when you are buying again something you already own.

5.0 out of 5 stars The remix gives it a timeless quality
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020
Verified Purchase
I was 14 when this album came out. I had all their previous albums on tape or cd. I liked this one at the time, but it was probably my least favorite. Since I now own all the previous albums on record, I bought this one for the collection. I think the remix really makes it fit better into their overall catalog. It's clearly the 'natural' progression from Automatic for the People and it points towards New Adventures (which I really hope they do a vinyl reissue for it's 25th). It gives it a timeless quality. The original, while great, sounds more early 90s alternative to me--which of course it was!

It’s R.E.M. what’s not to dislike. The liner notes alone make the purchase worth it. As an avid fan over the years I’m just now starting a vinyl collection and so of course this is a must. I like both versions of the record but so far I still prefer the original. Great price and service by Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars LOVE Monster, but the remix CD is awful
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019
Verified Purchase
I mainly bought this just to get the core album with a volume boost/remaster. The improvement is noticeable, but I don't think the leap is as great as it has been with previous 25th Anniversary R.E.M. discs. That said, it's the remix CD that knocks this down star. I won't mince words here, I like other R.E.M. discs like Automatic (even if it is a little too slow for my taste) and Out Of Time, but Monster, Monster was easily my favorite growing up - and it still is by a mile. Regardless, I wasn't expecting to like the remix CD anyway, so nothing lost there, but I wasn't expecting it to reinforce why the original mix has always given Monster that extra X-factor. If anything, it makes me appreciate the original album even more (they totally nailed it the first time) though I'm sure nostalgia is throwing its two cents into this equation. If you want to know what I'd rate the original mix of Monster, it's probably pretty obvious I'd give it a five out five. If you don't have this yet or want a slight quality boost I'd say buy this, just don't expect anything out of the extras; there are a few interesting moments but yeah, the original mix is the way to go.

I love that you get the original, grungy album as well as a remix album that actually allows you to hear the lyrics. Very well worth the money.

Rarely are remixes worth it or even noticeable, but this is. The remix is brilliant and breathes new life into a classic R.E.M. album. This is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Injustamente infravalorado
Reviewed in Mexico on April 30, 2024
Verified Purchase
En su momento fue un trabajo poco valorado. El público esperaba un trabajo más nostálgico o amable como lo fueron sus dos antecesores. Pero la banda entregó una placa cruda, llena de guitarras, disonancias y voces que parecían fundirse con esa pared eléctrica.

El tiempo ha empezado a ponerlo en su sitio justo. Para disfrutarlo no se espere un álbum de éxitos individuales. Monster es un todo con una idea redonda. Así, hace un homenaje al espíritu del grunge al mismo tiempo que vira hacia sus épocas de rock garage. Aquí hay ironía, mordacidad, desparpajo y mucho gozo.

La versión en doble contiene un disco extra en el que remezcla todo el álbum. Las piezas son las mismas, aunque suena diferente, sin perder su esencia. Vale la pena escuchar los dos discos. Un ejercicio que pretendió resignificar un álbum injustamente infravalorado.

Há tempos procurava por essa versão de aniversário (são dois discos parecidos, mas bem diferentes!), e finalmente encontrei com um preço acessível... caro, mas mais acessível. Vale pelos itens, todos de colecionador/fã do R.E.M.

Disco original y otro con nuevas remezclas de las canciones. El disco de remezclas no es tan redondo como el original. Algunas, como la de Strange Currencies o What’s the Frequency, Kenneth? suenan genial, otras, no tanto. Sale un póster y unas tarjetas con fotos de la banda. El Monster original imprescindible. El de remixes, no tanto.
