I do not hate it as much as some though, I think it is an interesting shift into the world of alt. rock, just has no one great song that stands out and seems kinda forced.

But I will await your review to see how that turns out.
No way man! Monster's great! I love how REM can put out an accoustic rock masterpiece and then immediately after put out a big rock album that kicks ass too! The album's full of great tunes like What's The Frequency, Strange Currencies, Circus Envy, You, Tongue, Crush With Eyeliner, etc. Nearly every song on this album is good - great in my opinon.

In my personal opinon, the only REM album that could possibly qualify as middle of the road would be Around The Sun. Some don't like Reveal, but I think Reveal kicks ass.
