Title: Overlooked Masterpiece of Journeying Alterna-Rockers
Product review: I write now simply to give some words to a five-star contribution needed to raise the average of this masterpiece.It's overlooked. It's stark and loud and beautiful. This is everything Monster should have been and far more. This is the last best album R.E.M. made. The playing is smart and the singing is unbelievable.The new version is worth it, folks, and so is the old if you've not got the money for this.Nothing is as close and haunting here as Automatic for the People, but, like a desert thunderstorm, this record blows in electric and deafens while it terrifies. And then, when it's over, you think you've heard something simple, something unclear yet plain enough to listen to again just to understand and then maybe the clouds will clear up.But it's also a night album. And even when the clouds clear, you'll see that you've just driven into a pulsing, modern city under a black sky. This music is distant and playful and stark all at once.
