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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommemorating the album’s 25th anniversary, original Producer Scott Litt re-approached R.E.M.’s “Monster” by remixing the entire album. The original 1995 version was dense in guitars and feedback with the vocals mixed within the sonic wall, but on this alternative version the guitars are pulled back and the vocals pushed forward to create a more open sound and showcase often-revealing lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"track\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonster\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA1\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhat's The Frequency, Kenneth?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA2\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCrush With Eyeliner\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA3\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKing Of Comedy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA4\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI Don't Sleep, I Dream\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA5\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStar 69\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA6\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStrange Currencies\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB1\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTongue\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB2\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBang And Blame\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB3\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI Took Your Name\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB4\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLet Me In\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB5\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCircus Envy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB6\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYou\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonster Remixed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eC1\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhat's The Frequency, Kenneth?
