Monster marked a bold shift for R.E.M., showcasing the band’s return to gritty, electric rock after the introspective, acoustic-driven albums that catapulted them to global fame. Released at the height of their career in 1994, it captured R.E.M.’s desire for reinvention—with raw guitar textures, energetic hooks, and a new attitude on stage and in the studio.
This 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition features a newly remastered version of the original album alongside a 2019 remix by producer Scott Litt. Complete with insightful liner notes from journalist Matthew Perpetua, archival photographs, and imagined cover art, this release shines a fresh light on standout tracks like “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?,” “Crush with Eyeliner,” and “Bang and Blame.”
