MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 147 : R.E.M.'s "Monster" is their best album. 28 September 2021.
Notcast 147 : R.E.M.'s "Monster" was 27 yesterday and it is their best album. I go deep into the album, the lyrical obsessions with perception/reality/fame and trust through the prism of relationship fraud that drips through every song on the album, the centrepiece of "Strange Currencies" and "Tongue", the singles "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?", "Bang And Blame", "Crush With Eyeliner", a violent green shirt, a promo 12" and an unreleased live EP, fan club singles, and the huge 2019 5CD + 1 BR reissue. I love this album! 28 September 2021.
