Monster

Descripción
Product Description 1994’s Monster found R.E.M. making a stylistic shift on their ninth album. Filled with heavily distorted guitars and dense, sonic textures, Monster focused on identity, on the concept of celebrity and on the notion of reality. The critically acclaimed album was also a huge success with fans-it was certified as 4x platinum in 1995, and went to #1 in the US, Canada and the UK, among other territories. Features hit single “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” Tienda R.E.M. pushed the jangle out of the picture with Monster, replacing it with reverberating snaps, crackles, and pops. An album that wraps itself to ’70s glam finery while reaching out to the flannel-clad post-Nirvana throngs, it largely succeeds at demonstrating that these Georgians still know how to rock. The MTV fave “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” kicks things off on a high note as Peter Buck’s distorted power chords set the tone for the 12-song set. “Strange Currencies” may be alarmingly reminiscent of the Automatic for the People hit “Everybody Hurts,” but it’s actually the superior song. “Let Me In” is a heavily distorted nod to the fallen Kurt Cobain. While Monster is far from R.E.M.’s most consistent effort, it stands as a ragged and risky respite from safe and sound alterna-rock. –Steven Stolder
